Garlicky Pasta Salad

I was given this recipe to make for a friend's baby shower tonight. I made it, and it is very tasty! (Don't know how many of you would love it, but thought I'd share!)


Garlicky Pasta Salad

1 package Tri-Colored Twisted pasta (16 oz.)

1 ½ cups cubed pepper jack cheese

1 ½ cups sliced salami

Mix the following ingredients in separate bowl:

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

4 tbsp. olive oil

4 tbsp. minced garlic (can use less if desired)

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Combine all salad ingredients, then salt and pepper to taste.

Corn Salsa

Here's a recipe I got from a lady in our ward. It is seriously so yummy (to me).


Corn Salsa
1 can white corn (drained)
1 can black eyed peas (not drained)
4-5 medium tomatoes chopped
2-3 large avacadoes chopped
3-4 green onions chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
good season italian dressing mix
vinegar for dressing mix
oil for dressing
chips for dipping

Prepare dressing as indicated on packet. Mix all other ingredients together and pour over mixture.

Manicotti

I was trying to find a video clip of Brian Regan imitating his Italian friend talking about manicotti, but no luck...anyone know what I'm talking about?

I made THIS for dinner last night. It's SO GOOD and I will definitely be making it again. I recommend it!!

Homemade Pizza Rolls

I made THESE tonight for dinner and served with a salad. Yummy! I used pre-made whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's. I filled Ryan's with mozarella cheese and pepperoni, mine with pesto and mozarella, and just mozarella for the girls. Yummy! And super easy and fast. Bonus!


P.S. I made THIS for our Valentine's Day dessert and it was delish! Although, I think I prefer regular pazookie better...
