MANGO PINEAPPLE COLESLAW


I found this recipe in an issue of Woman’s World magazine. It is both easy and delicious. If you want a little different taste, you could add ¼ tsp curry powder. Either way is tasty. I recommend that you refrigerate the salad and dressing separately and combine when ready to serve.
Salad
Combine in large serving bowl:
1 32 oz bag of coleslaw mix from the produce section
1 ripe mango peeled and cubed
½ cup chopped dried pineapple
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Dressing
Combine and refrigerate:
½ c mayonnaise
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
Enjoy!

READER RECIPE SUNDAY


CROCKPOT LASAGNE
Thanks to Donna Murphy of Orlando Florida for this delicious recipe. I made it for dinner last night and not only did it taste great, my kitchen stayed cool!

Approx 3 cups favorite spaghetti sauce
8 oz box of oven ready(no boil) lasagna noodles
13 oz container of ricotta cheese
8 oz bag of shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese

Spray inside of crock pot with Pam. Cover bottom of crock pot with 1 cup of sauce. Add a layer of noodles next, breaking up the noodles so that the area is covered. Layer 1/3 cup of sauce, 1/3 cup of ricotta, 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat noodles, sauce, ricotta, shredded cheese until ricotta is gone. Top layer will be noodles, 1 cup of sauce and 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 - 4 hours.

You can add browned hamburger to the spaghetti sauce if you wish. Or for a vegetarian version, add a few layers of spinach.
