Time for Tortellini

Cooking isn't one of my current favorite things to do. I've been in a rut with it for a while now. I often find recipes online and give them a try...hoping for a winner. It's time I gave back...so here is a yummy recipe to share. I think I've featured it a long time ago, and it's worth repeating.

Joan's Chicken Tortellini

4 chicken breasts, cooked, spiced to your liking and cubed

1 bunch broccoli

1 can artichoke hearts, quartered

2-3 carrots, sliced

1 can black olives

6-7 oz. tri-colored tortellini, cooked and cooled

Toss above ingredients together and mix with:

1 C. mayonnaise

1/4 C chili sauce

2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tsp. dill

Refrigerate a couple hours before serving. Add a loaf of french bread. Fun to mix in if you like: sunflower seeds, walnuts or sliced almonds.

This is a recipe my Mother in Law served at a family dinner she had before we were even married. I still love it today. So does my family. This colorful dish is so great for Spring and Summer!

Jamie's Food Revolution by Jamie Oliver. Completely inspiring (and I am not one who loves to cook, either). I highly recommend it! Joan's recipe looks good, too.

Oh my gosh, I'm in a recipe rut too and this looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing! I'll be making it within the week!

Also, I finally started my sampler! I'm not very far along, but I like it so far. Baby steps...

We made a huge batch and have been eating it since your post, just put the bowl in the dish washer a minute ago. So good, thank-you so much. It will be a staple around here. L

Yummmm...Could you make a big bowl of it and deliver toward Sioux City? I am in a rut too...but not wanting to cook whatsoever!
