Mimi told me I should be posting my recipes as I usually make them up.

Pesto Pasta Salad\
1 bag of farfalle
1/2 c prepared pesto
1/4 c feta cheese w/sun dried tomato
1 can petite diced tomatos

Cook the pasta to tender and mix in the remaining ingredients. This one is SO easy and I usually have all of the ingretients on hand.


Apple Butt Chicken

1 large apple (I like to use fuji)
1 med onion
2 garlic cloves
1 whole chicken
1/2 stick of butter
1/3 to 1/2 c of honey
potatos optional
salt and pepper
a drizzle of olive oil

Dice the apple and onion into small pieces. Pound the garlic into a paste and reserve 1/2. In a bowl toss together the apple onion and 1/2 of the garlic. I like to ad a little olive oil and salt and pepper at this part it seems to bring out the flavor. Stuff the bird with the apple mixture. Mix together the butter honey and remaining garlic. Melt this together. Seperate the skin from the bird and pour the butter inside. Use any leftovers to pour in and on top of the bird. bake at a low 250 degrees for about two hours or until the juice runs clear.
