This is one I've made several times and I love. I got this recipe from a church thing.
Bow Tie Pasta, cooked and drained
Roman Lettuce, washed and chopped
Grilled chicken, cut up
Croutons
Caesar Salad dressing
Mix together the proportions you like, I do about an equal amount of noodles and lettuce.

Orange Slush
This is one my mom used to make and I love it. It's so yummy and great treat when it's hot outside.
Juice from 3 lemons
1 1/2 quart apricot nectar
46 oz. crushed pineapple
30 oz. orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 bananas, mashed
6 c. water
4 c. sugar
Mix water and sugar together until most of the sugar is dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Freeze.
To serve, thaw enough so you can scoop some out, put in a cup and pour cold ginger ale over top.
I hope you enjoy it!

Summer Favorites
I'm sure with all of you summer has been a little more crazy and hectic. Cori and I have had a wedding and family trips and other things going on which is why you haven't heard from us. I figured I'd put out an assignment and see if anyone is still around and will post.
Since we are in the full swing of summer, I want to know what your favorite foods to make during the summer, it can be desserts, salads, bbq, whatever you can think of.
I hope your summer is going well.

Dutch Oven Potatoes to Die For
In my house these potatoes are a must at a BBQ!! The go great with steak or chicken. I'm sure they would work with anything. I am a huge fan of dutch ovens. You can put the stuff in it and forget about it. I just flip over one of my cookie sheets cover with aluminum foil and put your coals and dutch oven on top of it!!
Use different kinds of potatoes sliced ¼ inch thick (I like to combine red and golden and regular potatoes together).
2 medium onions chopped.
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 lb. bacon cooked and crumbled
¼ cup butter
1 Tbs. fresh or dried chives
1-2 tsp. seasoning salt
½ tsp. pepper
Line Dutch Oven with foil ( i hardly do this, i just spray with pam)– toss the potatoes with ¾ of the cheddar and ¾ of the mozzarella, and the parmesan cheese and seasoning salt.
Top with bacon, butter and chives. Also salt and pepper.
No liquid
Bake covered 1 hour then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
enjoy!!!!!

Grilled Zucchini
This is one of our favorites and it's super simple, and if you have a garden and plant zucchini you always have tons.
Zucchini
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
Olive Oil
Freshly Grated Parmesan (none of that stuff that you buy on the shelf that doesn't need refrigeration before you open it)
Slice zucchini length wise in long 1/4 inch pieces. Drizzle olive on both sides of the zucchini, then salt and pepper each side. Put on the grill 5-10 minutes each side, depending on how much of a bite you want to it. Grate cheese over zucchini and enjoy.

This weeks theme
Well after a weeks break I thought we better get back to it. The idea I had for this week was Recipes you would take to a BBQ or picnic. Anything from main dishes to sweet treats. I have been loving the weather and have been wanting some good recipes to make so I have lots of excuses to BBQ!!! Even some good dutch oven recipes would be great!!!

Penne Pasta
Ok so there isn't much of a recipe for this one just more like a list, but I hope you feel brave enough to try it.
Penne Pasta
Chicken
Olive Oil
Red Pepper Flakes
Garlic
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Black Olives
Carrots
Onions
Spinach
Get a pot boiling with water to cook the pasta, when it is boiling cook the noodle according to the directions.
Heat a skillet to medium heat, coat lightly with olive oil. Put a pinch of two of red pepper flakes into the oil along with a few cloves of garlic minced. When it's hot add chicken that has been cut into bite size pieces. When the chicken is cooked remove from pan. In the same pan add veggies that have been chopped (wait to add the tomatoes until the end). Saute until they are done according to your liking, don't forget to salt and pepper the veggies while they are cooking. When the veggies are done add the chicken and cooked pasta. Stir in a 1/3 to a half of a block of feta cheese (the 4 oz kind or whatever size it is, not the Costco size) that has been crumbled, so maybe 1/2 c. or so and some parmesan cheese. Taste it and if it needs more flavor add more cheese or salt.
