Be the change you want to see in the world...

Synopsis of Us

Lisa is au natural. She likes to have babies at home and drink slimy green liquids with large amounts of earth in them. She loves the quacks and we love her. If you are ailing, just call Lisa. She will doctor you up!

Melanie is a little bundle of energy. She's very peppy and always bouncing around. Do not drive with her. She tends to talk and visit and not watch the road. Cuts a mean hair-do!

Sarah is crazy! She loves Diet Pepsi (too much). The group photographer with many free photo shoots for her friends. Many questionable eating habits that we all ignore, hopefully they don't kill her.

Emily is an overachiever. She never sleeps and wakes up way too early so she can pratice music with her kids. She loves the earthy green drink too. Be careful, she will try to poison you with sugar-free goodies.

Jen is a dental hygienist. If you want to know which kind of gum to chew (to xylitol or not to xylitol, this is the question) she'll know.

Lana is full of crap! Literally, her house is full of crap! Yes, just stuff. If you ever need any random thing, pretty sure it's in her house... somewhere. Very competitive, don't coach children's athletics with her.

Adria is straightforward. She pretty much says it like it is. She is our community sex-ed advisor. Any questions, just ask her, she knows it all.

Marianne (one of the tall, leggy blonds) is amazing! She graduated from college while taking care of her four children and working to save the entire Chinese orphan population.

Marilyn is a perfectionist. She has to have everything at a ninety degree angle, if not, she's nervous. Hopefully this doesn't kill her. Likes to scrapbook, spends a large sum of money on this activity.

Stephanie (another tall, leggy blond) really likes to work out. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Nursing is her profession (not wet nursing).

Recipe for "Winger's Salad"

Labels:

OK here it is. I am not a real freak about measuring but here are the proportions and you can make as much or as little as you want.

1-2 pounds of chicken breast cut into tenders-brown lightly then sautee them in the following sauce until cooked all the way through and the sauce is cooked down and the chicken is caramelized.

THE SAUCE

two parts brown sugar to one part Hot Sauce (I like the Western Family "louisiana Hot Sauce") You can get it at Stokes near the catsup and pickles. A big bottle is only 1.29!! Last time I made it I put about 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and about 1 cup of hot sauce, but I like it spicy. If you like it sweeter put more sugar. Pop it in the microwave for 5 minutes and stir. The sugar will be dissolved. Pour 3/4th of this mixture over the chicken in a fry pan and simmer until the chicken is nice and gooey! Take the rest of the sauce and make your dressing.

Dressing
Remaining sauce mix (hot out of the microwave)
about a half a bottle of light Ranch to taste
Stir well

Salad
half romain and half spinach-as much as you want
grated cheddar/jack cheese to taste
a cup of craisins
diced cilantro (I like about 1/2 a bunch)
chicken on top

Just assemble as such-
salad
cheese
craisins
chicken
cilantro sprinkled on top
Serve dressing on the side so it doesn't get soggy
EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!

Thank you, thank you! I already bought the ingredients and can't wait to eat it up! I found the hot sauce on the Mexican isle at Stokes. One isle over from the salad dressing isle.

Mar, it takes forever to carmelize? Is that right or did I do something wrong? After an hour I finally added cornstarch and water and it worked out.
