Here are a few of my many new and yummy recipes I have made lately.
Strawberry Dump Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1 can strawberry pie filling
Chocolate chips
Make cake according to directions. Pour into a crock pot. Add filling and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. Turn off 30 minutes before serving.
This was so yummy! The kids loved it!
Oriental Chicken Salad

3/4 c milk
3/4 c flour
1/2 c cornflake crumbs
1/2 c panko bread crumbs
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 chicken breasts

Salad mix
1/2 c sliced almonds
1 c chow mein rice noodles
Oriental Dressing:
2/3 c honey
1/3 c rice vinegar
1 c. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp dijon mustard

Thoroughly mix dressing ingredients then move to fridge to cool while preparing salad.
Preheat oil in deep fryer or deep pan over medium heat. Beat together egg and milk in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine flour with corn flakes and panko crumbs, salt and pepper. Cut each chicken breast into 4 or 5 long strips and dip in egg mix and then into flour mixture. Fry for 6-7 minutes or until browned then remove to plate covered with a paper towel.
Prepare salad by tossing the salad and sprinkle with almonds, then the chow mein noodles, chicken and dressing.
