Cole Slaw aka Sumi Salad

Very light and refreshing. Good with leftover grilled chicken too as a meal.

• 1 pkg angel hair cut cabbage (angel hair is better than chunky cut)


• 3 green onions, sliced -use both green and white part


• 1/4 - 1/2 cup of sliced almonds


• 1 tbl. toasted sesame seeds (can buy already toasted in the jarred spices)


• 1 pkg. top ramen soup (chicken flavor) -use dry uncooked noodles only -broken up into small bits

Dressing:

• 1/4 -1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil


• 1/4 - 1/3 cup rice vinegar


• black pepper to taste

**some people add the chicken flavor packet that comes with the the top ramen soup in the dressing, but I don't.

Put cabbage, green onion, and top ramen noodles in a bowl. Mix dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour dressing over just before serving and toss together. Sprinkle with almonds and sesame seeds.

Hawaiian Wedding Cake

This is always a big hit and very easy to make. Great for pot lucks! Obviously you would frost the whole cake, but I thought showing you the cake in progress rather than just with the white top it would help you visualize what the steps look like. Brought it to the last pot luck and around 2 o'clock people came around asking if there was any more cake...sorry, there wasn't. 

• 1 box yellow cake mix (eggs, oil, water - as box directs)
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 large pkg (5.1oz) instant vanilla pudding
• 2 cups milk
• 1 large (1 LB, 4oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 8oz tub cool whip
• coconut, optional

Mix cake according to directions on the box. Bake in a 9x13 inch pan for the amount of time according to box. Let cool.

Mix until creamy the cream cheese, pudding and milk. Spread this on top of the cooled cake. On top of this, spread can of crushed pineapple. Frost cake with cool whip. Can sprinkle on coconut, or also toasting the coconut first is good too. Keep refrigerated.
