This sounds like something I make in the summer, but I don't care for cucumbers, so I use black olives. Sometimes I use Havarti cheese also. Your right it is good

Mmmm, chocolate cake- yum! My daughter loves to bake and I see a cake in my future.

I just tried this recipe last night and it is fabulous! I thought the dressing might be too sweet but the flavors all work together perfectly. It is definitely my new favorite salad and only has 60 calories for a 1 1/3 cup serving so you can pig out!

Yummy Spinach Salad

2 T fresh orange juice
2 T fresh lime juice
2 t dijon mustard
2 t honey
salt and pepper

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onoin (I left this out)
8 cups baby spinach (about 8 oz)
1 apple very thinly sliced (I used granny smith)
1/4 blue cheese

Wisk OJ through salt and pepper. Combine salad and toss with the dressing.

Here's a variation of the buttermilk pie - for those of you in Texas or near a Luby's cafeteria, you can try this pie there. It is very very good. The recipe is from the Luby's cookbook

Buttermilk Pecan Pie
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter, melted
1 1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup coconut
unbaked pie shell

In a large bowl combine sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla. In a small bowl, toss together pecan pieces, raisins, and coconut. Spread pecan mix into bottom of pie shell, then pour in buttermild mix. Bake at 350 for one hour and 20 min, or until pie is set in center and golden borwn. Refridgerate.

[BLowry]

1 block cream cheese
1 cup mayo
1 container sour cream
1 pkg of golden onion soup
2 small (or 1 big) can (drained) artichokes
garlic, salt, pepper to taste
1/2 (or if you want more you can add more) frozen spinach thawed...squeeze as much of the water out as you can
1 pkg of montery jack or swiss cheese (I like to mix the cheeses)

bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned,...


Serve with assorted crackers.


DEEEEEELICIOUS!!

[backagain39]

Here is one that is fast and easy.......and it tastes good too!!!

BBQ Chicken Burritos

6 Chicken Breasts with or without bone (or a whole cut up chicken depends on what type of meat that you like)...the boneless chicken breast or strips are the easiest to work with.
Bull's-Eye BBQ Sauce (I use the honey or original flavor)
A bag of shredded mild cheddar cheese
10 pack of flat burritos
Sour cream

Boil the chicken in water for about 30 minutes or until done. Flake the meat into a pot and add BBQ sauce (add enough to make the mixture moist). Heat for about 10 minutes or until the mixture is hot. Spoon the mixture (about two to three tablespoons each and you can adjust as you go) into the middle of the burritos and then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Roll these up and place in a pan seam side down. Put these into the over for about 5-8 minutes at 325 degrees in order to melt the cheese.

Serve with sour cream........my kids hate the sour cream so they eat theirs plain.........

[backagain39]

Sorry forgot to add to drain the water off the chicken before flaking and adding the bbq sauce........

You know - I just started seeing it for the first time too, a few weeks ago. BUT, it is in their new book, "Luby's Recipes and Memories." It is described as a collection of our favorite dishes and heartwarming stories. The pie has to have been around for some time to be included in the book - it's a 60-year celebration for Luby's 1947-2007 - not that the pie has been around for 60 years, but you know what I mean.......

Anyway, it tastes GREAT!!!
