Ranch Chicken Casserole

Well its that time of year..... time for parents to get back on schedule...time for early bed times....and most importantly time for a lil bit of quiet (all my kids are in school this year, my baby is on preschool :( so I am lonely) This recipe is great for busy nights of homework. Its quick & simple :) 1 (about 29 oz) can chicken 1 pkg (16 oz) rotini noodles (or whatever you have on hand) 1 pkg. (16 oz) frozen peas & carrots 2 pkgs dry ranch mix 1 cube butter Cook noodles until there halfway done. In a big pan add butter, noodles, veggies, ranch, & chicken. Cook until veggies & noodles are done. Serve warm. Easy huh. This is one of my kids' favorites. Yields: about 5 servings

Cucumbers & Onions

Yes I am doing another garden recipe :) This is a old family favorite, if you haven't tried this and your not sure you'll like it then go buy a bag of salt & vinegar chips and try them. That's the closest thing I could tell you it compares too!!

2 cucumbers peeled & sliced
1 onion sliced
1 c. vinegar
1 c. water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Mix all together except veggies. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add veggies. Let sit overnight. You can use as many cukes & onions you want.
