Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Mix together chicken, pineapple, rice, carrots, pepper, onion, and garlic in the dish. Heat small saucepan over high heat, then add chicken broth, pineapple juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then pour over chicken. Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, oil, water, salt,
pepper and pepper flakes if desired. Cook and stir over medium heat
until mixture comes to a boil. Cook 2 minutes longer or until sugar
is dissolved. Cool to room temperature, stirring several times.

In a large salad bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, tomatoes, onion,
peppers and pickle relish. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Cover
and refrigerate overnight. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 10-12
servings.

Core the tomatoes and cut into wedges. Remove the top of the fennel (save some fronds for garnish) and slice the bulb very thinly crosswise with a knife or on a mandoline.

Toss the tomatoes and fennel in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, season to taste, and serve.

Cook chopped onion in bacon grease until translucent. Stir in remaining ingredients until well combined. Cook until thick.

Butter the pan you will be using. Combine nuts, syrup, sugar and salt in microwave dish (I use Corning Ware). Stir together well with a wooden spoon. Cook 4 minutes on high. Remove and stir well – cook 4 more minutes. Remove and stir in margarine and vanilla. Cook 2 minutes. Remove and stir (quickly) in baking soda and vinegar. Pour quickly onto a buttered cookie sheet (I use a round pizza pan). Cool, break and serve!

(HINT: I enjoy making peanut brittle when it’s really cold outside. When I pour the candy onto the buttered pan, I set it outside where it will cool quickly.)

(ANOTHER HINT: Have all your ingredients measured ahead of time. You’ll be moving really quickly at the end!)
