BIZZY BAKES

I found this recipe at Allrecipes . com.  It appealed to me because it included a number of vegetables.  I had planned to make a stir fry but this persuaded me to make a salad.  I added additional honey since the consensus of opinion was that it needed toning down.  I had too much liquid for the amount, I made, and drained some out. Spicy Bok Choy Slaw (adapted) Ingredients: 1 head bok choy, finely shredded 1 cucumber, finely shredded 3 carrots, peeled and finely shredded 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup coarse-grain brown mustard 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey 1/8 teaspoon shredded ginger black pepper to taste Method:  Place the shredded bok choy, cucumber, carrots, and cherry peppers into a large salad bowl.  (I shredded the vegetables in my food processor.) Pour  the apple cider vinegar, brown mustard, soy sauce, and honey into a small bowl and mix well. Pour the dressing over the vegetables...

I had extra rice left from another dish which means, I make a rice salad. I also had two zucchini at loose ends and I found a yummy looking zucchini salad in the book, "Dining In" and decided to combine my rice and this zucchini recipe and see what I get. It turned out to be a good combination but I think, it needed more heat or more flavor and that is easily remedied. Zucchini Rice Salad 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced 4 radishes, thin sliced 1 purple onion, thin sliced 1/2 cup yellow and orange yellow pepper 3 garlic pickles, chopped 1 cup cooked brown rice Dressing:  1/2 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Method: Combine the rice and the vegetables in bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour over the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for an hour before serving. (Mine was refrigerated for a few hours.) Linked to Summer Salad Sundays

Pat's Pink Apron and Marelie from Cookie Droplets, both, so kindly shared this award with me.  Both of these lovely ladies, who received these awards, first, deserve that recognition.  Check out their blogs and I am pretty sure, you will see the warmth in their personalities and the caring that comes when giving an award. I have given awards on several occasions and this time, I would like to give these to  some of the foodies who have come into my life (blog), more recently. (Debbie and Libby are not newbies.  In fact Libby is one of the first bloggers, I met.) Each one is special and each one has a blog to be proud of. These are worthy bloggers whom I admire, greatly and I think, you will too.  Each one has a unique blog which tells you who they are.  As far as great recipes go, each one is different, in what they stress but all have delicious dishes, for us to eat.  I hope that each of you will share this award with 7 choices of your own...
