Pass the Coleslaw

1 pkg. ramen noodles, chicken flavor (uncooked)
1 pkg. prepared coleslaw
1/2 C. slivered almonds, toasted 10 min @ 350
1/2 C. sunflower seeds (I use Planter's dry roasted)
4 green onions, chopped

Dressing:

1 pkg. chicken flavoring (from ramen noodles)
1/2 C. vegetable oil
3T. red wine vinegar
2T sugar
1/2 t.salt
1/2 t. black pepper

I mix the dressing and pour over coleslaw and onions at least 2 hours before serving.  Throw all the other ingredients in closer to serving time and they'll be crunchier.  I like the crunch of the ramen noodles, but it tastes good if they are mixed in ahead of time, too.  You really can't go wrong with this recipe, no matter when you add the ingredients.  Don't forget to crunch up the ramen noodles before adding them to the coleslaw mix.  Enjoy!

Potato-Vegie Grill

1 Potato per person
1 Onion
1 bag Frozen Vegies
1 cube Butter/Margarine

Dice the potatoes and onion. Cut butter into patties. Place all ingredients into an oven foil bag and roll it tight so that moisture does not escape.  Cook on gas grill covered, or in an oven @ 400 degrees for about 60 minutes making sure you flip the bag after 30 minutes if cooking on a gas grill.  Remove from grill/oven and allow mixture to finish cooking and cool for about 15 minutes.  Serve out of bag.

We usually make this mixture along with steak or chicken and let the potatoes cool while we cook the main dish.
