Quick & Easy Pasta & Salad...

Most of the meals I prepare are very quick and easy (as I've mentioned many times before, a good cook I am not!)....

This pesto pasta dish is so easy and sooooo good! It's just whole wheat thin spaghetti tossed with pesto and then topped with sauteed garlic, yellow squash, zucchini, black olives, and diced tomatoes....


And the salad is my version of John Harvard's Mediterranean Hummus salad... It's just mixed greens, grape tomatoes, and feta cheese with capers (rinsed really good) arranged around the edge of the salad (I usually add artichoke hearts as well, but didn't have a can in the cupboard the night I fixed this salad). I use Kraft Greek Vinaigrette (with feta cheese & oregano) for the salad dressing... And there's a surprise ingredient hidden beneath the salad that really makes it out-of-the-ordinary (and good!)...


A layer of hommus is the base of the salad. I just buy ready made hummus at the store (there are so many good flavors to choose from).

So there you have it - a quick and easy supper, and that's my favorite kind (especially for Thanksgiving week!)

Tonight's supper...

Pizza is not good. Oh, it's good, but it's not so good for you. Maybe if we also have a nice healthy salad on the side it won't seem so bad :) By the way, I marvel at those of you who post fantastic recipes on your blogs. I would LOVE to eat at your houses every night... This is my recipe contribution (it's about as creative as I get)... I mash up a very ripe avocado and 'whisk' it into the Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing (the packet variety)... VERY good :)
