Four Foods on Friday

Fun, Crafts and Recipes is hosting Four Foods on Friday and here are the questions she gave us this week.

#1. Name one cookbook, cooking website or food blog that you frequently use.
I love my Taste of Home magazines, my Taste of Home cookbooks and using the Taste of Home website.

#2. Do you watch any cooking shows on tv? Which ones?
I don’t watch much TV at all, so I don’t watch any cooking shows.

#3. Are you in a cooking rut? Name a food or dish that you’d like to find a recipe for.
I’m definitely in a cooking rut.  We’ve been eating the same things over and over again.  I need to find something new and exciting and different.  We have a lot of chicken because my toddler will usually eat it so I am looking for new ways for making chicken.

#4. Share a recipe created by somebody else that you haven’t tried but would like to.
My bloggy friend Pam shared a recipe for a Pasta Salad that sounds delicious and I want to try it.  Here it is:

Pasta Salad
Need:
2 bottles of Italian Zesty dressing
1/4 lb hard salami
1/4 lb ham
1/4 lb provolone cheese
1/8 lb pepperoni
1 large box rigatoni pasta (or your favorite kind)
2 stalks celery
1/2 jar olives (go on last)
2 large tomato
1 pack dry Italian mix

Directions:
Cook noodles (let cool before mixing with other ingredients). Dice ingredients. Mix 1 large Italian zesty dressing and pack of dry mix. (I pour dry mix into dressing bottle and shake it up to mix it together) In large container, combine noodles, diced ingredients, and mixed dressing. Be sure to mix/toss ingredients well so everything is coated with the dressing. Let sit overnight. About 2 to 3 hours before serving, add olives and the other bottle of dressing.
