OKRA WALNUT SALAD

Okra Walnut Salad is one of my favorites for the holidays.

So here's what ya gotta have to get this started:

1(24-ounce) frozen breaded cut okra
3 (5-ounce) packages salad greens
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted I use 1 cup
1 (15-ounce) bottle spinach salad dressing
Bake:
Breaded okra at 425 in single layer on a lightly greased
baking sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown , or fry okra according to
package directions. I use Oven

TOSS together okra, salad grrens, sliced onions, and walnuts in
a large seving bowl

HEAT dressing according to package directions. Serve warm with salad

THIS HAS REALLY BEEN A HIT FOR ME WHEN I HAVE SERVED IT

Pink Sweater

This is one of my favorite sweaters. As I have told

everyone that Pink is my favorite color. I wore

this sweater today. I looked like I had been playing with

a kitty cat. But I still love it.Believe it or not it is so

warm it is lined with 100% polyester.

Won The Door Prize Today

This was the door prize that I won today. We had our

EMBDC Luncheon today, for those of you that may

not know what EMBDC is, it is like the old

Chamber of Commerce. I represent the Radio

Station that I work for we have about 1100 members.

This beautiful Bountiful Harvest Baking Dish from

Cracker Barrel..I have taken pictures of some

of my cook books to find that special something

to put in it for Thanksgiving. Just had to share!!

I am not normally that lucky.

Christmas Angels

These white and gold angels epitomize their image of purity and innocence. Angel Ornaments on display at a Christmas Market in Germany. No I have not been to the market, but I have been to Germany. Actually I lived in Germany for three years when my dad was serving in the Army in Heilbronn Germany. I love to visit this web page. I hope you will visit.
