Buffalo Chicken Salad




this was my instagram picture, Just goes to show how lighting changes a picture!
This is a "cold dish" however, I had leftovers, and totally forgot that, warmed it up in the microwave with a little cheese on top, and it was almost better than it was fresh!! so, you can totally stick this in the oven instead of the fridge for a change of taste! either way, its excellent!!



Buffalo Chicken Salad
1 box Farfalle noodles- prepared
2 Chicken breasts, diced (or shredded)
1/2 cup of Frank's Sauce
1/2 Cup of Ranch dressing
3 celery stocks, diced
3 green onions, diced.  
salt and pepper to taste

mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
(or put into a baking dish, and top with cheese and stick it in the oven until warm and gooey!!) 

Chicken Noodle Hot Dish



So I am finally post-baby enough, that I was up for cooking again! I cannot believe its been a WHOLE MONTH since Bennett was born, and I am beyond thankful that I had a fridge full of frozen meals, however, I was beyond excited to eat something fresh from the oven!

What I was really craving was some tuna noodle hot dish (casserole for you who call it that!), however while I was pregnant the smell of Tuna made me want to puke! So I was too scared to open a can, so I switched it up!  I must say, this is to DIE FOR.  I loved the red bell pepper in there, mm mmm mm!

I must admit though, I did not measure ANYTHING I put into this, I just kind of winged it! although I'm guessing about how much I put in so you can copy it!

Chicken Noodle Hot Dish (casserole) 
2 chicken breasts- Chopped or shredded
1 can cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup
1 cup sour cream (I used the light) 
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 red bell pepper- chopped
1 cup frozen peas
salt and pepper to taste
half package of egg noodles (cooked)

preheat the oven to 350
in a large baking dish, mix all the ingredients together. cover and bake for 30 minutes. 

would totally work as a freezer meal as well! 


let me know what you think of it!
