Artichoke Chicken Casserole
This chicken artichoke casserole is great over orzo pasta with steamed broccoli or asparagus on the side. My husband and 4-year-old son love this recipe. We have it for dinner at least twice a month.
Pasta Salad a la Honeybear
This is my take on several different pasta salads I have tried. It's my daughter's favorite and I have taken it to several picnics and BBQs and it's always a bit hit. At serving time if pasta seems a little dry, drizzle with some olive oil and mix again.
