If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Chicken Bowtie Salad

We once had this yummy salad dinner delivered by a neighbor for dinner (thanks Fife family). It is wonderful as a stand alone summer meal or as a great addition to any potluck.

1 cup red grapes, sliced
3-4 cooked chicken breast, cubed
12 oz box bowtie pasta, cooked al dente
1 can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 can water chestnuts, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2/3 cups Craisins
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
8 oz Coleslaw dressing
1/2 cup mayo
1 small can of cashews

Mix together all the ingredients, except for the dressing, mayo, and cashews in a large bowl. Combine dressing and mayo until well blended then pour over the ingredients in large bowl. Stir until well combined let rest in fridge overnight. Right before serving add cashews.

*if it seems to dry you can add more coleslaw dressing
