Chicken Shepherd's Pie
This a fabulous one-pan meal. Serve with a salad and French bread. Just use left over fried, baked, or grilled chicken. You may substitute your family's favorite vegetable in place of corn. Potatoes and roasted garlic can be done 1 to 2 days ahead. If preference is to use dried spices, then use 1/2 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary. Use any cheese of your choice.
The Ultimate Pasta Salad
This tri-colored pasta salad with broccoli, cauliflower, pepperoni, cheese, and spices is out of this world. Great to take to a BBQ on those warm summer nights. This salad tastes wonderful right after you make it but is best served the day after.
