Taco Dip

Version 1:

Refried beans

Equal amounts sour cream mixed with mayo

Salsa

Shredded cheddar cheese

Version 2:

Refried beans

Equal amounts sour cream mixed with mayo

A sprinkle of taco seasoning

Shredded cheddar cheese

Chopped fresh tomatoes, green peppers & red peppers

Make these in layers in a baking dish. You really can add whatever you want but these are our favourites. You can leave out the refried beans and just do layers of sour cream/mayo, salsa and cheese. Serve with taco chips or - our favourite - rippled potato chips or Mexican Chili chips.

Honey Ginger Soy Stir-fry

1 chicken breast
1 carrot
2 sticks celery
broccoli florets
red pepper
onion
green pepper

Sauce:

1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 T honey (can also substitute sugar)
2 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp ginger

Brown the chicken in oil. Add the veggies and stir-fry. Mix the sauce (I double the recipe for 7 people) and pour over the stir-fry when the veggies are done to your liking. Cook a few minutes until the sauce is thick. Serve over long, skinny noodles (like vermicelli).
