My sister arrives today from Houston. I am so excited to have her for a whole week! Can you tell???? I have shared with friends that we will be having visitors over the next few weeks before the baby arrives and people are just surprised, but I think it is a perfect time. You know why? It will keep me less occupied and thinking of the baby's arrival. I am looking forward to entertaining, sitting and laughing with my younger sister. Her husband then arrives a few days later.
Yesterday i took advantage of getting a hair trim. My hair has been getting tangled and Ryan has even noticed knots in my hair. Well, that is what happens when it is time for a haircut! I am looking forward to a different style, perhaps some highlights after the baby is born though.
I was home alone yesterday and usually I do not feel like cooking for myself, sometimes, but last night I knew I had to follow through with a quick recipe I have been wanting to make. It was a combination of Angela's Detox Salad:
or Vanilla Sugar's salad:
I had a 12-ounce bag of Rainbow Slaw that I had picked and wanted to use, which consisted of shredded broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red cabbage. I made it my dinner folks. It was SO filling and delicious. I added ginger-agave cashews, garlic sesame sticks, raisins, and the dressing and BOOM! An explosion of flavors.
I hope you get to try this as a lunch or dinner salad. I believe your whole family will love it and it will be ready in minutes!
serves 1 large dinner portion or 2 lunch portions
1 1/2 cups rainbow slaw, prepackaged or make your own
(broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red cabbage)
1/4 cup garlic sesame sticks
1/4 cup candied ginger-agave cashews, or other nuts
1/4 cup raisins, golden or regular
All ingredients to a medium bowl and toss well.
3 Tablespoons Earth Balance Mindful Mayo (vegan)
2 Tablespoons red cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix dressing well until combined and add to the salad. May be refrigerated before serving. Leave nuts and sesame sticks to the end if you add the dressing to the salad and then toss in the nuts and sesame sticks when ready to serve to keep salad crunchy.
