Pizza Dip

I just learned of this week from a co-worker and already had to make it for a family party! Another VERY easy and tasty concoction. 


2 jars of chunky pizza sauce
1 pepperoni stick; thinly sliced and chopped OR 1 package of pepperoni; choppped
1 block of cream cheese
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese
Frito Scoops


In a saucepan or crockpot add the pizza sauce and pepperoni.  Cook on low for a half hour - hour to mix flavors.  Add cubes of cream cheese and mix into pizza sauce.  Add mozzarella.  Pour into serving bowl or keep in crockpot.  Serve with more mozzarella on top and eat up with Frito Scoops!

Corn and Frito Salad

This is an extremely easy salad you can whip up in a flash and be the hit of a party! Why you ask...it's a Paula Dean recipe, of course it's delicious with the perfect amount of crunch! 

Pictured BEFORE adding the Fritios

3 cans of sweet corn (you can use frozen or fresh as well!)
1/2 large green pepper; chopped
1/2 large red pepper; chopped
1/3 red onion; chopped
1 cup mayo
salt and pepper
1 bag chili cheese Fritos; barely crushed 


Mix first six ingredients.  Add Fritos right before serving.  It's a bit crazy, but surely a great combination!  Enjoy!

Homemade Pasta with Lemon Garlic Chicken and Veggies

In the pasta mood?  

Pasta:
1 cup white flour
1 cup semolina flour
2 eggs
olive oil
salt and pepper


Knead all together, roll out or use pasta machine.  I cut into long thick strips to make pappardelle pasta.  Pasta will only take 1-2 minutes to cook :)


Chicken:
2 breasts
Wegmans lemon garlic marinade


Let chicken marinate for at least 1-2 hours.  YES, I cheated again...why bother when Wegmans can do half the work for you and your chicken comes out moist and delicious every time :)  Grill chicken to perfection.  Remember, the chicken will take the longest to cook, so plan accordingly!


Lemon Garlic Olive Oil Sauce:
Wegmans basting oil
fresh garlic - 2-3 cloves, minced
about 1/4 cup white wine
squeeze of 1 lemon
1 head of broccoli; bite sized pieces
1 small zucchini; sliced thin
fresh basil; cut into thin strips
parmesan cheese


In a saute pan heat a TB of oilve oil.  Add zucchini and broccoli.  Once cooked through, add garlic, 2-3 TB of Wegmans basting oil and 1/4 cup dry white  wine.  As pasta is cooked to al dente, I will add to the basting pan with veggies.  Once all pasta in in pan, squeeze 1 fresh lemon on top and toss with olive oil and veggies. Slice grilled chicken and place on top of pasta. Top with fresh basil and parmesan cheese.  Eat up and Enjoy!
