Something Helpful

My sister just told me about this website that lets you schedule your dinners, also has some great recipes that you can try out, and then will create a shopping list for you. I haven't used it yet, since I still have another 1 1/2 weeks of meals planned out, but I can only imagine how much time and effort this will save me! I can't wait to try it and thought I'd pass the tip along!

Chicken Club Pasta Salad

I had a lot of fun with this recipe. It's a very simple, yet tasty recipe that only takes about 15 mins to make.

Ingredients

1 pkg Kraft Classic Ranch with Bacon Pasta Salad
Chicken Strips - use what you feel is needed for your family
1-2 small tomatoes, chopped
2 cups of shredded romaine lettuce
1 small can of sliced olives
1 cup of croutons
bacon bits (if you use "real" bacon bits, it tastes a little better)

Prepare the pasta salad as directed on the package.

Stir in remaining ingredients.

Serve.

Pretty simple, huh?







The nice thing about this recipe is that you can add or remove ingredients depending on what your family eats. For instance, the original recipe did not include olives, croutons, or bacon bits.

Both Ryan and Alex (and myself) really enjoyed this recipe. I even had a few friends taste it who also liked it.

Let me know if you try it and if your family enjoyed it!

Let me say...

I want to say before I start this blog, that this is not an attempt to prove I'm a better cook/baker than anyone else out there (because I'm not). I'm creating this blog because I want to remember recipes I've attempted in the past and whether or not they were good. If I can provide someone with an easy dinner recipe or help them attempt something they might not have otherwise, that would be great!

Anyway, I hope it's enjoyable to someone out there!
