Buffalo Chicken Ranch Salad To Go

I love the taste of buffalo chicken ranch and also breaded chicken in salads, so I thought, "Why not combine the two?"

With Hidden Valley Ranch's Buffalo dressing, it was easy to do just that!

I've been wanting to do the "salads to go in a jar thing" for a long time and decided now was as good a time as any. So I pulled out a bunch of jars and lids to do just that!

I had a half head of lettuce in the refrigerator that I tore up into bite sized pieces.

I had baked some breaded chicken the day before to use in the salads and cut them into bite sized pieces. I also pulled out the crumbled blue cheese.

I squirted about a tablespoon of the Buffalo Ranch into the bottom of the jars and added a few pieces of the chicken and blue cheese.

Topped them off with the lettuce and screwed the covers on. Voila!

I did this until I used up all the ingredients. Now I have my lunch ready for several days.

Love, love, love this idea!!

Pizza Sauce Soup!!

Ever have a failed success? Well, that's what I experienced with this recipe.

I was attempting to make pizza sauce with my garden produce of tomatoes, pepper and onion; however, it didn't thicken to my liking.

I blended all the ingredients together, and then I cooked it to try and thicken it, which didn't seem to happen as much as I wanted it to.

After a while I gave up and took a small bowl up to Keisha to ask her opinion on the taste.

She tasted it, tasted it again and refused to give it back! Peter also tried it and had two bowls for his supper.

I also loved it and decided to use it as soup instead of pizza sauce. Hence, the failed success!

Pizza Sauce Soup!!

12 tomatoes

2 onion

2 whole pepper

3-1/2 T. garlic
