Recipes

Garden Pasta Salad with Chicken(from ILV713)

INGREDIENTS
4 (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
Coarse salt and pepper
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cups whole wheat rotini
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
1.Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and transfer it to the baking sheet. Drizzle on the lemon juice and oil, then bake the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer the meat to a plate to cool, reserving the cooking juices.
2.Cook the rotini according to the package instructions, adding the broccoli to the pot for the last 2 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the water, plus 2 tablespoons if you're using a rotisserie chicken that has no cooking juices. Transfer the rotini and broccoli to a large bowl. Add the reserved cooking juices and pasta water and toss to coat the ingredients.
3.When the chicken has cooled, remove the skin. Pull the meat from the bone, tear it into bite-size pieces, and add it to the pasta.
4.In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard until well blended. Add the mixture, along with the remaining ingredients, to the bowl and toss well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired. Serves 8.








Cool Cake for Mom (from ILV713)
Ingredients:

1 (10 3/4-ounce) pound cake
1 (3 1/8-ounce) box of instant pudding
1 cup whipped topping
Fruit (we used 2 bananas and 4 large strawberries)
Mint sprigs (optional)
Chilled chocolate syrup




Instructions:


1.Slice the pound cake into several horizontal slices about an inch thick.
2.Prepare the pudding according to package directions. Mix the pudding with the whipped topping.
3.Chop up the fresh fruit you've chosen.
4. Layer the cake, fruit, and a little less than half of the pudding mixture in a loaf pan. Then top the cake with the remaining pudding.
5.Put the cake in the fridge for a couple of hours. When it's chilled, decorate it; we topped ours with trimmed strawberries and mint sprigs.
6.Squeeze on a greeting with chilled chocolate syrup. Then serve Mom a sweet treat on her special day.
