http://busymomrecipes1.blogspot.com/2011/06/oriental-salad-with-ramen-noodles.html Oriental Salad 1 bag of cole slaw 1 bag of broccoli cole slaw (shown below) 1 pkg. Oriental ramen noodles 1 small bag of slivered almonds cashews or peanuts (optional) Dressing 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar 2 TBS. soy sauce Season packet from the Ramen noodles Preheat oven to 300-degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil to save on clean up. Spread the bag of slivered almonds over the foil. Break up the uncooked noodles in the packet of Ramen noodles and spread them out with the slivered almonds. Bake noodles and almonds for about 12 minutes or until golden While noodles and almonds are baking, mix up the dressing. I start by measuring the sugar, then mixing in the oil so the sugar doesn't stick to the oil in the measuring cup. Stir all the ingredients together and set aside until you're ready to toss salad. To toss salad, add the cole slaw and broccoli cole slaw to a large bowl. Mix the slaws together. Add the toasted almonds and Ramen noodles and mix. he dressing constantly separates, so right before you add it to the salad, stir well.

Candied Baby Carrots

http://forums.provida.com/6weekbodymakeover/candiedbabycarrots_3656775/reply.html All of the "glazed" carrot recipes that I found in my search of the veggie recipe forum use some type of artificial sweetener and my recipe does not. It's the cooking technique that brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots. 1 cup fresh baby carrots dash cinnamon dash nutmeg dash allspice dash ground ginger dash ground cloves (or 1-2 whole cloves) nsa vegetable broth Put the carrots in a small saucepan and add enough vegetable broth to cover an inch above the carrots. Add the spices and bring to a boil. Gently boil until almost all of the liquid is gone. The liquid will cook down, absorb the sugars that cook out of the carrots and thicken into a glaze. Toss the carrots around to coat them all with the glaze and enjoy! If you happen to accidently boil the pan dry (as long as you catch it before you burn the carrots), just add a little more vegetable broth to deglaze the pan.
