Rumbi Island Aloha Mango Chicken Salad

White chicken breast meat cut into chunks (about a cup)
3 cups chopped Romaine Lettuce 
1/3 cup red pepper diced into pieces
1/4 cup red onion, sliced very finely and then diced tiny
feta cheese crumble a tablespoon over each salad when serving
1 mango diced into half inch squares
slivered almonds
tortilla strips over the top

Citrus Salad Dressing
1/4 cup frozen orange juice from concentrate (I just did 1/2 C of orange juice)
1 Tablespoon fresh lime
1/3 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar (I did rice vinegar)
1/4 cup sugar 
1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's or Johnny's Seasoning Salt
A few shakes of pepperI prefer to set all the ingredients out in their own bowl and everyone can dish up the quantities they like.  And it also keeps longer in the fridge when it's not combined.

Notes:

I love this recipe. It's my guessing on the way my mom makes her biscuits. It's so sweet almost like scones! I make this when I'm too lazy to make bread, or when I'm in a pinch for time. Goes great with dinner, jam and butter, and as breakfast the next morning :) not very healthy... But I'm still a fan!

Skillet Meat Loaf

Ingredients:

• Ground Beef (about the size of six decks of cards)-- sorry I have a hard time measuring meat
• 3 eggs (whisked)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 onion (minced)
• 1/2 bell pepper (diced)
• 3 large mushrooms (chopped)
• salt and pepper
• two cloves garlic (minced)
• tsp cayenne
• tsp chili powder
• tsp thyme
• tsp parsley
• 2 pieces of whole wheat bread
• 1/2 lemon
• ketchup

Directions

1. Saute the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic in a large skillet. Add all the seasons and spices and let it cook until wilted.
2. Meanwhile, get the thawed but raw ground beef and add it to the whisked eggs and flour.  Mush it around with a fork or your hands until mixed.  
3. Once the veggies are cooked add them into the bowl with the beef and mix.  Squeeze the lemon into the mixture too and tear up the bread into small pieces and  mix.
4. Poor the mixture back into the large skillet you used to cook the veggies, and smoosh it flat on the pan and evenly.  Cook on each side on a medium high heat.  Kind of like a hamburger.  Before you flip the first time squirt ketchup all over the top, once you flip it after five or so minutes squirt it on the new side that's up.  
5. Continue flipping Until the meat and egg is cooked.  Wait as long as you like to flip.  The longer you wait the more of a crust it will form and look more like a meat loaf.  

Notes

I made this recipe up today, and it is one of my favorite ground beef recipes.  It will feed about three adults.  It tasted pretty fresh for a ground beef dish.  I don't like ground beef much, but I've been making chicken every night for two weeks straight so we needed to change. But  I'm so sick of cream of mushrooms/chickens, and spaghetti, and lasagnas.  So it was a nice change.  LOVED the zest.  Enjoy.

Notes

So we've been into sandwiches lately, and I've been making a lot that have been good, but this one was Jeff's favorite.  He asks for it all the time, so I thought I'd post it.  I made it up, and I'm bad with measurements plus our families are all different sizes, so you'll have to adjust for your needs.  But this is a good one, hope you like it :)
