Earlier this week some of us participated in a recipe exchange. Technically it was chain mail, but what the hey? Anyway, here are the recipes I received if you want to copy them.
Samba Chicken
6 chicken breasts
1 ½ tsp garlic salt
1 lb pkg Barilla angel hair pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 (10 oz) can Mild Rotel
1 cup of Hellman’s mayonnaise
1 cup of Kraft Parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
Season chicken breasts with garlic salt and grill or sauté in a frying pan until completely cooked, approximately six minutes per side. Prepare angel hair pasta according to package instructions, drain, and toss with olive oil. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients in a medium sized microwave safe bowl. Microwave Samba mixture for three minutes, stirring halfway through. On a serving platter, place grilled chicken breasts over angel hair pasta and top with Samba mixture. Serves 6.

Oreo Truffles
1 bag oreos
1 brick cream cheese, softened
semi-sweet or white chocolate morsels
Crush the bag of oreos or use a food chopper. Mix in the softened cream cheese. Scoop out balls of the mixture and refrigerate for about half an hour. When they’re firm, melt the chocolate and dip the balls into the chocolate (you can also use chocolate bark but add shortening to get it to the right consistency). Let the chocolate harden. For the holidays, add food coloring to the white chocolate. You can also drizzle dark chocolate over white chocolate to make patterns or designs.
It’s a super easy recipe, and people go nuts over the result. They never guess that there are only three ingredients.
