August 8th - August 12th

Hot August nights are upon us. I'm featuring two salads and a soup for next week. I've featured each of these items previously and they have been popular, so hopefully you will enjoy them also!

Monday, August 8th

Chicken Pasta Spinach Salad -- This is a great, light meal. It features corkscrew pasta, spinach, Parmesan cheese, chicken and cashews. This is one of my most requested recipes over the years. If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend it :o) Quart $7, Gallon $25

Crescent Rolls -- In my mind, you have to have rolls with Chicken Pasta Spinach Salad. These are freshly made and buttered as they come out of the oven. 6 for $4 or $7 per dozen

Tuesday, August 9th

Tortellini Soup -- This is a beef based soup. It has summer vegetables along with spinach and tender tortellini. This is a soup that always gets rave reviews when I serve it. $7 Quart, $25 Gallon

Italian Herb Bread -- This bread is very similar to the bread served at Macaroni Grill. It is great to eat with butter or dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. $4 per large round loaf

Thursday, August 11th

Chicken Oriental Salad -- This recipe is based on the wonderful Carmella's restaurant in Alpine years ago. Pasta noodles, green onions, Mandarin oranges, and tender chicken chunks with a creamy oriental dressing. The salad is crowned with toasted sesame seeds. When my grand daughter was blessed a couple months go I served five soups and five salads and various desserts. This was by far the most commented and complimented item, yes, even more than my beloved red velvet cake. 1 Quart $7, 1 Gallon $25

Parmesan Knots -- Tender, flaky rolls tied in a knot and topped with Parmesan cheese. You will love them. $4for 6 or $7 a dozen
