Delicious Main Course Salad



Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Salad:
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
3 tomatoes, diced
2 mangos, or 2 cans mandarin oranges{We use the mandarin oranges and love them!}
1/2 C feta cheese
1 T sesame seeds
1 bag tortilla chips {We use chow mein noodles.  I didn't like the flavor and texture of the chips}
5 chicken breasts (cooked and seasoned with lemon pepper and salt)
Brown Rice, cooked and kept warm


Dressing: {This is so good.  Derek eats it on everything.}
1/4 C Dijon Mustard
2 T lime juice
1 t chili powder
3/4 C Mayo (I always use Best Foods LIGHT)
1/2 C white sugar
1/4 C soy sauce
1/2 C white vinegar
2 T minced garlic
2 T ginger powder


1. To make the dressing place all ingredients in a jar and shake. Or, if you have a small food processor, put all ingredients in and mix well. You could also use a blender.
2. When serving, set out all of the ingredients and let each person layer his or her own. Top with chips and dressing and serve immediately. 

This is healthy, delicious, and filling-thanks to the brown rice.  Best part is that Derek loves it too!  I could eat this all the time.  Try it and out and let me know what you think.  

Enjoy!

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

Tot School: Week 1

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to some of my friends about starting some kind of regular class where we can get our kids together once a week to learn and play. As an added bonus, we all get to chat as well. That night I started researching different activities that are good for kids ages 18 months-3 years. I put together an 8 week schedule that will include different themes each week so that our children can be exposed to many different things. I couldn't wait to get started. I e-mailed my friends my ideas/schedule and once I knew who could participate I went shopping to pick up supplies. Everything I have needed so far I found at the Dollar Tree and Micheal's. Today was our first class and it was a lot of fun. Our theme this week was animals. As everyone arrived I let them pick out a folder and decorate it. I also took a picture with the kids and their moms. We started by reading a couple of animal books I had on hand. The kids loved them because they were flap books a...
