That works!!!!
I have a Pasta Salad recipe that my mom said she got from my 100% Italian grandma. Its fattening as hell but it is SOOOOOO good! The only thing I've changed is the dressing. My wife holds a gun to my head once a month for me to make a batch to munch on for a few days!
Q's Pasta Salad:
1 box of Rotini spiral noodles
1 large can and 1 small can of sliced mushrooms
1 large can and 1 small can of sliced black olives
2 large jars of marinated artichoke hearts
1 bag of pepperoni slices
1 bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 bottle Newman's Own "Family Recipe Italian" dressing. (Has to be this brand!!)
Drain all cans of veg and jars of artichoke hearts. Dump in BIG container. (I have a large Rubbermaid rectangular container with lid that I use just for this). Cook pasta al dente and run under cold water until cooled. Dump pasta in the big container.
Stir together with the veggies. Throw in sliced pepperoni and stir again. Dump bag of mozzarella cheese in and stir again. Shake bottle of dressing and dump in. Stir and let sit in fridge for a few hours.
Try not to eat whole thing at once!

That does look good...I am going to have Linda make that so she can munch on it. I of course, would not hide it from her.
It is outrageously good! Wear stretchy pants though! You'll thank me later!
I seriously wrote out that recipe and hobbled over to Linda and asked her if we had all these ingredients? She read it and said, "that sounds really good!"
You'll love it! Its addicting! Hell me and the wife just sit on the couch with the container in between us with a couple of forks!
This recipe is for an appetizer that never lasts with any crowd.

Me, too! But I'll give it a go ...
Tuscan White Bean Soup
EVOO
3-4 chicken sausages
1/2 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, smashed (mince for stronger flavor)
2-3 sprigs of rosemary - remove from stems and mince (maybe 3 tsp)
4 sage leaves, chopped
1 can fire roasted chopped tomatoes - preferably organic
1 can cannellini beans (or 2 cups of cooked beans)
2 quarts chicken stock
Parmesan cheese rind (optional - but good!)
salt & pepper, to taste
A couple of handful of fresh spinach (optional)
In a 5+ quart Dutch oven, pour 1-2 turns of EVOO. Remove sausage from casings and brown a bit.
Add onions and sauté until slightly golden.
Add garlic and stir about for a minute. Be careful that the garlic doesn't burn
Add in the rosemary and sage. Stir about for another minute or two.
Add tomatoes, beans, Parmesan rind and stock.
Simmer for at least 1/2 hour, and as long as 1 hour.
Season to taste, about 15 minutes in. I use a lot of pepper and not much salt ...
Sometimes I make some sort of little pasta - shells, rotini, whatever - and add it to the soup in the bowl. I don't put the pasta in the soup because it eats the stock. I also may add a glug of a light bodied wine to the soup as it is simmering, if there's a little left in last night's bottle. A glug is probably a 2-count pour - maybe 2-3 ounces. A bit of spinach at the end adds color and vitamins. We think the soup is good on day one, but better on day two. Except, usually there isn't much left on day two
Hot, crusty bread is a must, along with more wine!

Bacon Wrapped Dates
Pit good quality dates. I use a chopstick to pop out the pits.
Slice good quality bacon length-wise
Wrap bacon around dates. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Bake 425, 20 minutes.
Sweet, salty, bacon-y.

Ingredients:
spaghetti
butter
egg(s)
cooked bacon
Handful of grated parmesan
Cook pasta, drain and reserve some water.
Melt butter in a 12" skillet over medium heat and cook about 10 minutes until golden brown. Crack egg(s)into butter and cook, spooning butter over yolks, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Butter should turn brown. Transfer eggs to a plate and keep warm. Add pasta and and crumbled cooked bacon to skillet and toss until hot. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water to create a sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in the parmesan.
Plate pasta and place fried egg(s) on top. The yolk will result in a nice sauce.
If you want to add herbs, throw a few sage leaves in the cooking butter and they get crispy as crumbs. Nice flavor. Also, perhaps a handful of fresh diced tomato when you add back the pasta.

Man, this looks good! This thread is making me hungry and I just finished my lunch!
My cooking is limited to two appliances, the microwave and my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker.
Trim ribs, apply your favorite rub, cook for 2 1/4 hours at exactly 225 degrees, remove ribs, lay on a sheet of foil, and slather them with honey, more rub (this time with brown sugar), and a nice squirt of squeeze Parkay or butter. Seal them back up tightly and cook for another 90 minutes, then check to see if they're done. Dope them up with a glaze of barbecue sauce and cook for a little while to firm up the sauce. Finger lickin' good.
Oh, I like apple wood chunks for a sweet smoke flavor.
