2 cups (dry measurement) macaroni (or any smaller pasta). Cooked a little shy of al dente and cooled. 1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped onion (about 1/4 inch square). 1/2 cup mayonnaise (more or less). 1 small can sliced black olives, drained. 1/2 cup sliced pimento stuffed green olives, drained. Pepper and salt (watch it, the olives add salt to the salad).
Combine ingredients, chill 2 or more hours then check for moistness. If more mayo is needed add and serve or keep refrigerated until served. 5 - approx. 1/2 cup servings, or 10 approx . . . you do the math.
Trader Joe's usually has small bags (2# or 3#?) of red white and blue potatoes available around Late June and early July but you can sometimes find all three colors in a well stocked produce department.
1 bag red, white and blue potatoes, cooked firm but done through - if small they can be cooked whole - and cooled. 1/2 sweet onion chopped small. 1 rib celery, 1/4 inch slice. 1 T sweet relish drained. 1 t dill relish or fine chopped dill pickle drained. 3/4 - 1 cup mayonnaise.
If potatoes are cooked whole, do not peel. If large enough to make cutting necessary do not peel first. If cut some of the peels will slip off. Once the potatoes are cooled combine all ingredients and chill at least two hours then check for moistness. If more mayonnaise is needed at and serve or continue to chill. Serves 6.

That is interesting you've noticed that. You are NOT the only one. I quit using Carnation evap. milk when making my Christmas carmels. I now will only use PET brand. I also thought the Carnation milk seemed watered down.

*Bev’s note: I baked this in a 9x13 class dish and it worked great.
1 can cannellini beans or white kidney beans and 1 can garbonza beans rinsed and drained
2 40z pkg. of garlic and herb flavored crumbled feta cheese
1/2 8oz. jar sun dried tomatoes chopped
1/2 can black olives sliced
1/2 c fresh basil
3 lg cloves of garlic smashed and chopped
1/2 lg sweet onion small dice
1 pkg grape tomatoes sliced
1/2 c olive oil 1/2 c malt vinegar
black pepper and salt to taste
Cook pasta according to box directions Drain and cool Add everything but the grape tomatoes and 1/3 of 1 carton of feta cheese. Keep in refrigerator over night. Before serving place bag of greens on dish. I used Fresh Express Sweet butter blend. Mix in tomatoes and put reserved cheese on top. Makes enough for a large crowd.
Medium onion diced Salt & Pepper 8 oz lean ground beef (at least 90%) 3 cloves garlic minced 3 bell peppers chopped (I used 1 each of red, green and yellow) 1 can stewed tomatoes (14.5 oz) 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz) 3 cups beef or chicken broth ½ (100g) uncooked brown rice
Spray a large pot with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt & pepper and allow them to sweat for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and brown. While the beef is browning, chop the peppers, and puree the stewed tomatoes in the blender. Once the beef is brown, stir in the chopped peppers and the diced tomatoes. Let the flavors mix a bit. Add the pureed stewed tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the rice and crank the heat up to high. Bring everything to a boil then cover and reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about ½ hour. Serve! 190 calories/3 fat/4 fiber

1 pkg wacky mac (screw type pasta the colorful kind) 1/2 pkg of pepperoni 1 sm can black olives 1 sm can green olives 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup or less italian dressing 2 chicken breasts cooked however you want
So we're spending a week in a condo ("full kitchen" but no BBQ) with another couple. Grocery shopping is about half an hour away, so I want to shop once for the five dinners I'll need to make. Any suggestions for quick, "minimal ingredients required" suppers? Thanks very much for any ideas!!
STUFFED SHELLS WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE Buy frozen pre-stuffed shells (or manicotti) Sweet Italian sausage links Jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce 2 C shredded mozzerella
Put shells and meat in 9X12 pan, cover with sauce, then cheese Bake in 375 oven for about an hour until shells are hot and meat is cooked.
Buy a bag of salad greens, bottle of dressing, and Italian bread if you like it.
GRILLED CHICKEN WITHOUT THE GRILL 1 bag pre-cooked grilled chicken 1 bottle favorite marinade
Heat in crock pot during the day, or in oven at dinner time. Get fresh corn on the cob, and a cantelope, and bake potatoes
SHRIMP STIR FRY Gortons Fish Tempations Shrimp scampi (2 boxes) 1 bag frozen stir fry veggies (tri-color peppers and onions) 1 pound pasta bowties
Cook pasta. Meanwhile in large skillet cook shrimp and veggies. Drain pasta, and add to shrimp. The shrimp creates its own sauce as it cooks.
CROCK POT MEATBALLS 1 bag frozen meatballs 1 jar BBQ sauce 1 small jar grape jelly
Cooks in about 4 hours, high
Don't know if you will have crock pots, but could be worth taking along. I love the macaroni and meatballs together. Throw together a quick veggie tray of carrots, cucumbers, peppers
FOIL PACKET KIELBASA AND POTATOES Red potatoes, cut up Kielbasa (polish sausage, precooked) cut up 1 red onion, cut up Spice mix Olive oil
Put out large sheet of foil, spray with non-stick spray Put down potatoes, meat and onions. Sprinkle LOTS of spice (I use the dipping oil spice mixes, but any dry marinade mix would work, or a mix of rosemary and garlic is nice.) and sprinkle with oil. Put another sheet of foil on top and seal around edges. I do this on the grill, but have done in the oven (put packet in baking pan just in case) Bake about 45 minutes at 375 until potatoes are done.
We tend to eat this with cantelope as a side. You could probably add sliced celery into the packet too.
Sorry, I don't really have measurements for this one. Make a paste of a large spoon of mayo (1/2 C?), large sprinkling of parmesian (1/4C?) and spices (that same oil dipping spice mix from before)
Spread the paste over the chicken breasts, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake 30 minutes in 400 degree oven.
Good with egg noodles and green beans. Or cut red potatoes baked with parmesian and spices spinkled on and broccoli in the microwave.
PULLED PORK 'PIZZA' or 'CUPCAKES' Package of refrigerator biscuits Tub of pre-made pork BBQ (or chicken or beef) Cheddar cheese, shredded
Layer biscuits and spread into bottom of pan (Or put each one in a cupcake pan) Top with BBQ, then cheese. Bake until biscuits are done. (Use biscuit directions for temp and approximate time - will take longer.)
Variation: use a corn bread mix as the bottom layer, carefully spread the meat and cheese, bake according to the cornbread recipes.
Good with veggie tray.
