The Recipes:

Navajo Tacos
Make up some fry bread. Top with chili (or seasoned taco meat), lettuce, sour cream, cheese, tomato and green onion. Very very good and very filling!

Bonus: If there is extra fry bread, spread it with butter and honey for a fantastic, ready-made desert!


Festive Tossed Salad
Shred some Romaine lettuce. Peel and chop a large apple into small cubes. Add 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins or Cherries. Add 1 tsp poppy seeds. Toss with raspberry vinaigrette. Chill and serve.

Cherry Jello Salad
Mix a box of dry Cherry Jell-o into a small container of cottage cheese. Add 1 Cup Sour cream, a can of crushed pineapple and 1/2 cup powdered sugar to taste. Chill and serve.

Pasta Primavera

The pasta primavera was a big hit at our house. I've never made this before but it was SO easy! I boiled some multi colored spiral noodles. (about 1/2 of the small bag) I set those aside and melted 1/4 cup butter in a frying pan. I added thin sliced carrots, broccoli and green onions. Stir fry until tender-crisp. Then I added some sliced mushroom, a shake of garlic powder, and a shake of Italian seasoning. Stir in the noodles, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. Yummy! Even the kids liked it.
