This is my most favorite summer salad. My kids just gobble this one up! It's also done in under 10 minutes!! It is SO good with Greek marinated steaks & lemon potatoes (we are not Greek, but sure eat like it, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, olives, Feta, mmm, Fetaaa.......). A perfect summer meal!!
2 medium cucumbers
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP olive oil
1/8 - 1/4 tsp pepper
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove seeds. Cut cukes into 1/2" cubes; place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Stir in onions. Whisk together cheese, lemon juice, oil & pepper; add to cucumber mixture & stir gently.

Minestrone Soup
I found this on the Kraft website, & tweaked it (adding garlic, of course, & more veggies). It was really good!! The cheese is the best part, hehe. Add lots! My 7 year old hated the kidney beans (but so did my friend who is 33!), yet my 5 year old loved them. If you have haters, add less. I plan to next time. It's a quick recipe (minus the slow cooker part), but taste awesome!!
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced carrots
1 TBSP minced garlic
19 oz diced tomatoes & juice
1 can of kidney beans, drained & rinsed
20 oz beef or vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups small pasta
Grated Parmesan
Cook onions, celery, carrots, & garlic in Italian dressing for 2 minutes. Put into slow cooker. Add tomatoes, beans, broth, water & seasoning. Cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours. Stir in pasta 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle Parmesan on before serving.

Chicken Pot Pie
I made this on Monday for supper. G doesn't like so much pastry, so next time, I will just put the filling in a glass pie plate, & use 1 pie pastry on top. Other than that, it was really good! We had this with a Ceasar salad.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 large carrots, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 large potato, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 can of mushroom soup
1 can of milk
pepper to taste
2 pie shells
Dice up chicken & cook until no longer pink. Add veggies & cook about 5 minutes. Stir in soup, milk, & pepper, & heat through. Pour into a pie shell, then place the 2nd shell on top, fluting the edges. Put steam holes in the top. Bake at 350F for 40 - 50 minutes, until golden brown, & the inside is bubbly.

Teriyaki
I made this for supper last night & it was a HUGE hit. I may have to triple the recipe next time!! It's so quick & easy, so it is perfect after sitting in the rink until 5pm!! We had it with rice, & then I bought egg rolls, mmmmm. I want more just typing this out!!
1 lb beef, chicken or pork (I used stirfry beef, it came pre-sliced from the meat department)
1 tsp ginger powder
1 TBSP minced garlic
2 stalks of celery, sliced
3 large carrots, sliced
1 onion cut into chunks
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 TBSP soy sauce
Cook beef until done. Add ginger & garlic & mix together. Add veggies & stirfry until tender crisp. Whisk sugar & soy sauce together in a bowl, & pour over mixture in pan. Stir together. If too runny, I added a tiny bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. Serve over rice. Seriously, the YUMMIEST thing ever!!
