Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Melts
Ingredients:
- 7-ounce jar of roasted red peppers, drained and patted dry (about 3/4 C)
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 cups cooked shredded or (or a few chicken breasts grilled and sliced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or several slices
- a handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 large french baguette (about 24″ long) or 4 large hoagie buns
Directions:
Place roasted red peppers, garlic, mayo, and lemon juice (if you don’t have a lemon, sub red or white wine vinegar, or just leave it out!) in a food processor. Add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of fresh ground pepper. Process until smooth and then store in the fridge until ready to use. You can make the sauce ahead of time.
Slice bread in half to open it up. Lightly brush with olive oil or butter and place under a broiler until golden brown and toasted. Remove from oven and spread red pepper sauce on the bottom half of the bread. Layer chicken on top of it and top with cheese. Place back in the broiler just until cheese is melted. Top with basil leaves. Spread red pepper sauce on other side of bread and put sandwich together. Slice in to 4 large hoagies, or 8 smaller sandwiches.
Notes:
I like to make these open faced. We have made them about once/week since discovering them last month. Jordan especially LOVES them. I sometimes use rotisserie chicken so I barely have to turn the oven on (it heats up our apartment so badly!). I place the basil under the cheese before I toast it. We have it with fresh fruit and it's a perfect summer meal!

Chocolate Mint Cookies
1 box devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
I am guessing you would bake them for about 8 to 10 or so minutes at 375. I don't even know how many it makes. My guess is only about 1 dozen.
After you bring them out of the oven place an andes mint on the top and allow it to melt.
We had these at a Zone Conference yesterday and they were yummy.

Heather's Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
- Box of colorful twisty pasta
- 1/2 block motzerella cheese
- jar or can of artichokes
- jar of hearts of palm
- can of olives
- cucumber
- bell pepper of your choice
- grape tomatoes
- can baby corn
- lemon
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
- balsamic vinigear
- Italian dressing
Directions:
Boil water with salt and cook the noodels. While cooking, cube cheese, slice artichoces, hearts of palm, olives, cucumber, bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and baby corn. Drain the noodels, and run under cool water. Combine the cut ingredients to the noodels in a large bowl. Topping should double the size of the amount in the bowl when added to noodels- you man not need full cans or need to cut the entire veggie. Drizzle olive oil, and italian dressing over the pasta. Add a dash of balsamic, but not too much or it will over power. Add some of the juice of the artichokes from the can, and squeeze the lemon in too. Salt and peper.
Fills a medium large bowl, and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes:
You can buy heart of palm at Walmart, or any grocery store really. I like to add black beans too, or anything else I have that seems like it would go well.
