The Stampin' Up! Party Recipes

So my Stampin' Up! Party isn't closed yet and I get asked for the recipes for all the treats that were there. Including the one that I didn't plan for, but hubby brought for his mini-LAN party upstairs with the boys.

Spiced Apple Cider

1 gallon fresh pressed apple cider (preferably from New Harmony, UT Apple Festival) (The closest tasting to that fresh cider is Simply Apple brand)

1 orange, sliced

10 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 6, 1-inch long pieces

Put all the cider in a 5 qt crock pot. Push cloves into orange slices and float on top. Drop in cinnamon stick and ginger pieces. Heat until warm, on high if you want it warm faster.

Orange Cranberry Bread

That recipe came from here: Sally's Baking Addiction--Orange Glazed Cranberry Bread

Strawberry Bread

That recipe also came from here: Sally's Baking Addiction--Strawberry Bread

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Bread

Same website for this recipe too: Sally's Baking Addiction--Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Bread

If you can't tell yet, Sally seems to have lots of good quick bread recipes that turn out yummy!

Now for the one that my hubby made...

Bowtie Pasta Salad

1 lb. box of bow tie pasta cooked and drained (save some of the pasta water)

1 large can of cooked chicken, shredded (or 2 small cans)

1 cup frozen peas

about 1 small jar of Kalamata Olive pieces, no pits, drained

about 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded, to your liking

about 1/2 cup Romano Cheese, shredded, to your liking

1 bottle Olive Garden Italian salad dressing

pepper to taste

This is really a mix until to your liking recipe, but here's the basic instructions. Mix the chicken, peas, olives and cheeses together in a large bowl. Dump in the warm pasta and mix to melt the cheese. Then start mixing in the salad dressing until everything is coated to your liking. You might not use the entire bottle. Add pepper to your liking. If the salad dressing is too thick, you can stir in some of the reserved pasta water to thin it out.

If you don't like something or want more of it, feel free to change it up. But apparently this was the last variation that everyone liked the most.
