Our Favorite Chicken Salad

Dressing:
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 cup canola or sesame oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup white vinegar
2 Tbsp Sugar
*I like to use just a little bit extra of each ingredient just to coat the salad a little more.

3-4 Chicken Breasts-boiled or oven baked. Shred the chicken into bite sized pieces.
12 oz spiral cork screw pasta (the multi colored pasta looks great) cooked according to package directions.
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 pkg spinach
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3-4 green onions, chopped

Mix all together!
Tastes lots better when it sits all together in the fridge for a few hrs.
*Don't add cashews until you are ready to serve. They will get a little soft.
*The best way I have found to do it is to mix the dressing in a large plastic zip lock. Add the shredded chicken and cooked pasta in the zip lock and let it marinate with the dressing. Put it in the fridge for a couple hrs.

1 Banana
1 Peeled orange

Spinach Bacon Pasta

• 1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta, and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

1. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place bacon in the skillet, and cook until browned and crisp. Add garlic, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook until heated through.
2. Place the spinach into a colander, and drain the hot pasta over it so it is wilted. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and toss with the remaining olive oil, and the bacon and tomato mixture.
