A great summer salad.
Greek Pasta and Chicken Salad
Chicken, cooked however you like - I prefer grilled (great use for leftovers!)
1 lb. bow tie pasta
3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
juice of one lemon
1 T. dried oregano
1 T. dried basil
1/2 T. fresh garlic, diced
pepper and salt to taste
6-8 oz. crumbled feta (I use the one that has dried tomatoes added)
1 can artichoke hearts, quartered ( I dice them before added to pasta salad)
Cook pasta, drain and cool. Combine oil, vinegars, lemon juice and spices. Toss pasta, oil/vinegar/spice mixture. Last add feta,artichokes, and chicken and toss again. refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Fudge Pie
You will thank me after you make this. Your mouth will thank you. Your stomach will thank you. If you share, your friends will thank you!
Fudge Pie
1 Unbaked Pie Shell
2 Squares (2 Oz.) semisweet chocolate
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt chocolate squares in microwave in 30 second intervals so that the chocolate does not burn. Melt butter in separate dish in microwave. Combine the melted butter, melted chocolate, and sugar. Once mixture is cooled down, add eggs (if not they will scramble, and that is bad...).
Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 25 minutes or until set.
