Citrus Cole Slaw


Looking for something light to add to your Sunday dinner...I found this while digging in my recipe box this morning...haven't made it in years...it will be revived today!

2 cups shredded cabbage
8 - 10 cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup orange juice
juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper

I like the purple cabbage if I can find it already shredded...the color is really pretty.  Use what is handy.  Combine the cabbage and tomatoes (just chop a small one and drain some of the juices on a paper towel if you don't have any cherry tomatoes on hand).  Mix oj and lime juice and toss the juice mixture over your slaw.  Season with salt and pepper to taste...cover and chill for a couple of hours before serving.  Light, fresh and no mayo to spoil your picnic!

Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert



Another no bake wonderful dessert option.  Super simple but really delicious!  Just remember to make a day in advance so that you can freeze it overnight or at least 6 hours before serving.

24 ice cream sandwiches
16 ounces of Cool Whip
1 jar caramel sundae topping
1 bag of your favorite candy crushed or chopped

Lay half of the ice cream sandwiches (whole) in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan, trimming the last couple to get complete coverage. Top with half of the cool whip, half of the caramel sundae topping and half of the candy. Lay down another layer of ice cream sandwiches. Top with remaining cool whip and spread out evenly with a knife, making a lip around the edge so the sundae topping won't run out and over the edges. Top with remaining candy, cover and freeze for several hours (or overnight) before serving.

I used English Toffee bits from the baking section...you could chop up Reeses cups, candy bars or even cruch Oreo's...your favorite will make this unique!
