Bowtie Chicken Ceasar Salad

Another recipe I got from Tessa. Pretty easy to make and delicious to boot!

Ingredients:
* no real measurements... just eye it. :) If you like pasta, add more pasta. If you like more chicken, do it. If you like more dressing..... you get the idea. *

Romaine Lettuce (I used 1, fresh.... could probably get bagged if you wanted)
Bowtie Pasta (cooked whole box but maybe only used a lil over half)
Almonds- slivered or sliced (I like sliced)
Chicken, boneless skinless (I used 2-3)
Green onions (a large handful)
Newman's Own Ceasar dressing (Enough to make it look good)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese (I used a cup maybe...)

Directions:

• Cook chicken. - I cut it into small pieces and cooked on stove top, but I'm sure you could do shredded if you prefer.- Set aside to cool.
• Cook pasta. Set aside to cool.
• Rinse and chop up lettuce. Put into large bowl.
• Chop green onions, add to bowl. Add almonds and Parmesan cheese.
• Add cooled chicken and pasta.
• Mix together. Before serving, stir in ceasar dressing to coat.
• Yum!

"Parfait" - Fruit Salad/Pudding

I'm not sure what the proper name of this is, and technically it's not a Parfait because there are no layers, but it is just like the Parfaits you get at McDonald's (without granola), so therefore I refer to it as a parfait.

This is delicious, easy, and a family favorite!

Sorry, this picture doesn't make it look very appetizing... But trust me, it's delicious!

Ingredients:

• 32 oz  vanilla yogurt (1 large container)
• 1 large pkg of Jell-o vanilla instant pudding
• 8 oz tub cool whip
• 2 bags Berry Medley frozen fruit (or whatever fruit you prefer)

Directions:
   Make this a few hours before you need it so berries have time to thaw.

• Mix dry pudding into yogurt until well dissolved and not lumpy.
• Fold in cool whip.
• Fold in fruit. May be 'streaky' in color.
• Wa-lah! 

** you can use any fruits you like, the Berry Medley is just a good mix of different berries. But if you use something with strawberries, I would recommend cutting them into halves or thirds before putting them in. They seem to take the longest to thaw. Don't put completely thawed fruit in, or it's really mushy and not AS good. You want them to still be a lil frozen by the time you eat it.**

Could also try other pudding and/or yogurt flavors.
