Last Thursday I made the scoopable chinese chicken salad (see pic below)... while it was easy to make once I had all the ingredients... it was a little tricky to find the dry broccoli slaw mix. Neither my local Price Chopper or HyVee had it... crazy as it sounds... I found it at Costco! I liked it. It is a great easy summer meal. I boiled my chicken breasts and then cut up into cubes... so no heating up the kitchen with the oven. The hubster LOVED it. Had it for dinner and then lunch the next day!
Saturday.... we actually had both kids home for most of the evening...so we decided it was a good evening for steaks... I know... not really under 200 calories - but it seemed like a good time to try a dessert...I made the razzle dazzle chocolate raspberry cupcakes - which were most delicious contrary to what my kids said....they didn't like the raspberries in their cupcakes. Now I will have to try making them again... because the recipe calls for 2 packets of the diet hot cocoa mix.... well, mine had marshmellows in it.. (I didn't realize until I had already poured them in...) the other thing is... if you make this - just go ahead and double the recipe... otherwise you have 1/2 of a cake mix left over... what do you do with 1/2 of a cake mix??
The kids are at school, I have peace and quiet... so I will peruse my cookbook and decide what is for dinner!
