Ceasar Pasta Salad

2 green onions, washed, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed
Feta cheese to taste
Grilled chicken, cut into strips or bite size pieces
Brianna's Asiago Ceasar dressing, to coat
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add dressing just before serving. This is a terrific side dish, but also filling enough to be a light meal.

Sweet Pumpkin Seeds with a bit of Spice
Today we carved pumpkins and since Sky has been sooooo wanting to roast seeds I thought we'd try out some new recipes. This one is from Martha and so of course it's yummy.
Ingredients
1 cup roasted seeds (roast on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 250 F oven for 30 minutes to an hour, just until they are dry - stir every once and awhile)
5 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
a pinch of cayenne pepper, one recipe said red pepper, I used paprika because that was all I had
1 1/2 Tbsp. peanut oil
Mix 3 Tbsp. sugar and all the other dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a large saucepan heat oil over high heat, add 2 Tbsp. sugar and seeds, stir until the sugar melts and it all starts to caramelize (45-60 seconds).
Stir seeds into dry mix.
Enjoy

Bread Sticks
1 ½ cups warm water
1 Tbsp. Active dry yeast (or 1 ¼ oz. Pkg.) SAF yeast in the gold pkg.
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 ½ to 4 cups flour
Combine water, yeast and sugar, let sit for 10 min. Add salt and 3 ½ cups flour, beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. (If kneading by hand, knead for about 5 minutes). Cover and allow dough to rest 10 minutes. Coat baking sheet with margarine Place dough in the middle and roll out almost to the edge. Let rise until double. Use pizza cutter to cut into strips and then in half. Spread with topping*. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
Topping: brush with butter and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and garlic salt, or salad supreme, garlic bread topping, kosher salt or whatever sounds good.
*The seasoning Tiffany used is garlic bread seasoning from Russ's work, if anyone is interested in ordering some.

Best Bread Sticks Ever
1 1/2 C warm water
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 pkg. yeast (or 1 Tbsp.)
Combine ingredients and let rest until yeast starts to bubble.
1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/2 C flour
Add salt and 2 1/2 C of the flour. Stir until dough is smooth, then gradually add
the remaining 1 C flour until dough is soft, but not sticky. (you may or may not
need the whole cup.) Knead dough until smooth and let rest for about 10 min.
While dough is resting melt 1 cube butter and put in 9X13 pan. Roll out dough
into a rectangle and cut into 1 in. strips. (I use a pizza cutter) When you pick up
a strip, fold in half and as you twist kinda stretch the dough a little bit. Then roll it
in the butter.
Then sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. (apply liberally for yummy-
ness!)
Sprinkle parsley flakes on top of that.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 min. We like them a little crusty on the bottom so
we usually do 20 min.
