Creamy Herb Pasta Salad

I always make too much pasta when we have italian night, so this time I decided to turn my extra pasta into Pasta Salad for the next day.  I can't wait to taste it tomorrow after "marrying" time, but today it tastes phenomenal.

Ingredients:
Leftover pasta (we had about 3/4 of a box of rainbow rotini)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. (Capful) Spinach & Herb Dip Mix
3 turns of pepper grinder or pepper to taste
Quartered grape tomatoes

Mix the sour cream, mayo and Spinach & Herb Dip Mix.  Add tomatoes.  Let chill for 30 minutes.  Add cooled pasta and mix well.  If the dressing seems dry, add more sour cream and/or mayo.  Serve as a side or add chopped cooked chicken to make it a meal.

Fantastic Fried Taters

Made this to have with our dinner tonight.  Fabulous!

Ingredients:
4-5 medium potatoes, peeled, halved, sliced
1 small red onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. Canola oil
1 Tbsp. Seasoned Salt
1 tsp. Garlic Pepper Seasoning

Preheat skillet and add oil.  Place potatoes in skillet, gently.  Add seasonings and stir to coat.  Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn potatoes, cover and cook 5 minutes more.  Add onion on top, do not stir.  Cover and cook 5 more minutes.  Stir and cook until potatoes and onions are fork tender.  Serve as a side or add your favorite pre-cooked protein for a complete meal. 

Serving suggestion: tossed salad with Strawberry Champagne Vinaigrette.
