Pear Salad



Roquefort Pear Salad

"This is the best salad I've ever eaten and I make it all the time. It is tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. The mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together."

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 head leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (or bag or romaine lettuc)
  • 3 pears - peeled, cored and chopped

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, stir 1/4 cup of sugar together with the pecans. Continue stirring gently until sugar has melted and caramelized the pecans. Carefully transfer nuts onto waxed paper. Allow to cool, and break into pieces.
  2. For the dressing, blend oil, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, mustard, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.

Chicken Puffs

Chicken Puffs
Two cans refrigerated cresant rolls (8 count)
2 Shredded Chicken Breasts (I use 2 cans chicken about 14oz. total)
6 oz cream cheese
Garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste
Mix all of the ingredients together until the cheese is somewhat smooth over all chicken. Place a good size spoonful in each roll before rolling it up. (I sometimes wait to roll them up until I know how much mixture I have left to add/subtract from some rolls). Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-10 min. until rolls are golden brown. Yummy stuff!
