THE ROASTED CHICKEN PASTA SALAD - ONE WORD - DELICIOUS

Good evening. I think I have pictures posted from my Iphone! Everyone was so hungry I did not get an opportunity to make a picture of the salad tonight - but it should have fed at least 10 - not so -- between Travis and Michelle - there is enough left for T to take some to work for lunch and for me to give my Mom some! It was really good!! I served it with sliced fresh tomatoes and toasted Jalapeno Cheese Sourdough bread I made on Sunday!

I just have to get my browser problem settled so I can copy great articles and send to you! But until then, we shall have to COOK!!

But first - do you know that water actually fills you up, cleans the kidneys so the liver can do what it is designed to which is to - well it does lots of jobs - but one thing it does is speed up our metabolism. I am trying so hard to drink a gallon a day - not there yet!!

On June 20, the executive committees (past and incoming) will come to the house for our combined meeting. I have been thinking and thinking and thinking what I would like to serve - not a full meal but most of these ladies are widowers, so I am sure they would appreciate not having to go home to eat -- so any ideas???

I am thinking I might do the little Hot Ham Sandwiches and then one more thing. I know I have posted these some place long ago - but they are worth making a debut again.

HOT HAM SANDWICHES

1/2 Cup Margarine (I use butter - remember this was written in 1997 - before we knew how bad margarine is for us!)
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seed
1 Tablespoon Onion Flakes
1/4 Cup Mustard
12 (12 small buns (Potato dinner rolls or Pepperidge Farm Small Rolls for smaller sandwiches)
Ham, thinly sliced, or "shaved"
Swiss cheese, thinly sliced

Melt margarine (butter) in saucepan and add poppy seeds, onion flakes and mustard. Spread split buns (or rolls) with butter mixture and insert one portion of ham and cheese into each bun. Wrap in foil. (Freeze or refrigerate at this point if desired!) Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees or longer for chilled or frozen sandwiches).

These are really good and satisfying for a light meal - they always disappear quickly!!

I wish there was a way to take a poll of my readers! Do you want more recipes for desserts, appetisers, main dishes, or salads??? Email me or post a comment and I will definitely suppy the request.

I have to go to Penzey's in Dallas this weekend. I am almost out of Fresh Ground Black Pepper and if you ever try it -- nothing else is good enough! Penzey's is so easy to get to - take 635 north off US 80 and drive to Preston Road exit. Take a left and after crossing over 635, look to the right and the first drive going into the first shopping center is where it is!!

Well I have been writing (and thinking and playing Word with Friends for over an hour - so I will bid you goodnight. Have a wonderful Wednesday and I will be back soon!! May God bless each of us as we bless someone else.
