Sweet Potato French Fries!
Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy
Veretarian Spinach Pasta
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Pine nuts
Canned artichoke hearts
Frozen Spinach
Basil
Salt and pepper
and your favorite Pasta
I tried to combine the healthy stuff with something they really liked but it didn't go over so well. Oh well. I liked it.
I started my water to boil my noddles and then I got to work on the rest of my creation. I started by digging through my cupboards to see what we had and found these yummy ingredients!I started with a little extra virgin olive oil and then added my minced garlic, after a few I added the pine nuts! After they we nice and toasty I added the artichoke hearts and the spinach. After it was warmed through I decided it needed a little basil and some salt and pepper, and a little more olive oil for good measure. Then I let it sit on warm until my pasta was just right. Then I mixed it together and I got this!
It took more time to boil the pasta then it did to dig through my cupboards and come up with what I was going to put with it! Perfect a meal in under 15 min!

Mandarin Orange Salad With Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup oil
touch of honey
1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon poppy seeds
chopped onion to taste ( you don't need very much)
Put all ingredients in a blender and mix.
Salad
1 head red leaf lettuce
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 or 2 cans Mandarin oranges
2 or 3 avocados
1 package of bacon, cooked and crumbled
So as far as a salad goes I just put in what we have, or what ever I am in the mood for that day. My family loves mandarin oranges and avocados so I put in a lot. I say cook the whole package of bacon because once they smell it I have grabby little fingers snitching at it until I put it on the salad. Use as much as you want.
The poppy seed dressing also goes fabulous on this little salad, a creation on my own.
2 bags fresh spinach
1 green apple diced
a few handfuls of Craisens
1/4 red onion thinly sliced
and some more bacon bits
