Spicy Peanut Noodle Salad

Image
By Amy
This one comes from my Aunt MaryKate. I made it this weekend for a family dinner and Mike requested it again today to take to work for someone's retirement party. I'm thinking it would work great to take to a summer BBQ because it isn't served warm and it wouldn't spoil quickly out of the fridge. Plus you can pretty much make the whole thing a day ahead and just throw it all together just before serving. I'm seeing it served with a great burger or steak!
8 oz. spaghetti noodles - cooked
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 cup corn oil
3 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

In saucepan, stir pepper and oils over medium heat for 2 minutes.  Add honey, soy sauce, and salt.  Stir to combine and set aside.  Cook spaghetti noodles until tender, drain and combine with sauce mixture.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.  When ready to serve, add chopped cilantro, green onions, and peanuts to noodles.  Toss, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro.

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside. Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp peanut b

Amy's Southwestern Chicken Lasagna

By Amy
I went to Houston, TX to visit my sister last week and ate some very yummy Southwestern Chicken Lasagna in a little cafe there. I knew my hubby would love it so I tried recreating it for his birthday dinner last Sunday. It wasn't exactly the same, but everyone loved it and Mike immediately put it on his top ten list. So here's my version: 3 or 4 marinated, grilled chicken breasts, chunked (I used a fajitas marinate from a bottle) 12 lasagna noodles 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 green bell pepper, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 or 2 Tbsp. canned Jalapeno peppers, diced 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels 1 (15oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 (15oz.) can diced tomatoes 1/2 cup salsa 1/2 cup chopped green onion 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. cumin 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/4 cup sour cream 8 oz. monterey jack cheese, shredded 6 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided 1.
