Caesar Pasta Salad

 This is an easy and very delicious pasta salad.  Originally, I got the recipe from my sister, Joan.  Now we all make it.

Caesar Pasta Salad

1 pkg. rigatoni or other pasta, cooked el dente and drained

Caesar Dressing

1/2 cucumber, seeded and diced

2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

Sprinkle the veggies with lemon pepper or Mrs. Dash

1/2 cup canned Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Mix all together and chill.  Serve.

Crockpot Greek Chicken

I got this recipe from Shonna. I think she got it from Michelle. Anyway, I LOVE this recipe for a busy day. I literally can have dinner on and cooking in five minutes. I buy chicken thighs in the cheaper family pack- nine or ten to a pack. I divide them between two quart freezer bags and label them "Greek Chicken". It's perfect for the two of us. Then I just put the bag of frozen chicken in the crockpot with the other ingredients. You can use any chicken pieces, but I recommend ones with the bones still in as it adds a lot of yummy flavor.

I half the recipe for two people. Here's the recipe:

4- 6 potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

2 lbs. chicken pieces

2 large onions, quartered

1 whole bulb garlic, minced (I use the stuff from the jar)

1 T. dried oregano

1 tsp. salt

Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Olive Oil

Place potatoes in the bottom of a well sprayed crock pot. Add chicken, onions and garlic. Season and drizzle generously with olive oil. Cook on high 5- 6 hours, low for 9-10.
