Fresh and Tasty

I made Redneck Caviar the other night and it was a hit. Here's a link to the recipe.

I recommend not adding the avocados to the actual bowl of the stuff if it's going to sit for a while just in case they start to brown. The acid in this dish will help it not to but I don't like to look at brown avocados so I just put the diced avocados in individual bowls and spooned the dip over it.

Italian Chicken and Pasta Salad



Italian Chicken:

Ingredients:

1 bottle of Italian dressing
2 chicken breasts

Directions:

Marinate chicken breasts in the dressing (you only need to just cover the breasts) for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place the chicken and marinate into a bake safe dish and pour the rest of the dressing on top of the chicken.
Bake chicken for about 45 minutes turning the chicken at least half way.


Pasta Salad:
1 pkg of tri colored spiral pasta
Italian dressing
small can of sliced olives
1 cucumber
2 tomatoes
Feta cheese


Boil the pasta according to the package
Drain and rinse with cold water
Cut up the cucumber and tomatoes
Put olives in
Mix together
Add Italian dressing so everything is coated
add in the Feta cheese

When we served it we added a tad bit more Italian dressing to our liking and some Feta on the top.
