depending on how many you are serving





chop up some tomatoes and lettuce


*way more lettuce then tomatoes


then boil enough pasta so there is just a little more pasta then lettuce





drain, rinse with cold water and put it all in one big bowl





mix with italian dressing, careful to not put in to much





but if this happens just pour the lettuce, tomato, pasta combination back into the strainer shake, let drain just a little

put the combination back into the bowl and serve :)

macaroni and cheese-homemade


if you find the box disgustful as i do, make your own.


get the mexican import pasta at h-e-b (i'm from texas too) it is cheapest. after boiling, shread cheese over it and you have tasty macaroni and cheese. and heat on a skillet to melt cheese. the children may not like garlic (good if they do!!) but adding crushed garlic is good!
i love pasta, try chicken parmigiana over ziti pasta
