This is another great recipe that I got from Ricki. It is a hearty salad that can easily be served as the main course! The recipe originally was double this in quantity, but I have divided it in half below. Doubled, it fed probably 15-20 people!
1 rotisserie chicken (or 3 whole breasts cooked) cut up in bite size pieces
12 oz bag of fresh ravioli or tortellini
1 C red grapes
1/2 C fresh snow peas, uncooked
2-2 1/2 stalks celery (cut up fairly small)
1/2 cucumber peeled, seeded and sliced or cut up in bite size pieces
1/2 bunch green onion cut up
1/2 C Craisins
6 oz. marinated artichoke hearts (optional) (Ricki did add this)
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1/2 can mandarin oranges
1/2 bag of spinach
toasted pecans
Dressing:
1/2-3/4 C mayonnaise
1/3 C lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients except kiwi, orange, spinach and pecans. Mix dressing well and add to salad. Just before serving, stir in spinach and garnish with kiwi, oranges and pecans.

Ricki's Spinach Pie
This is a delicious breakfast pie recipe that my sweet cousin Ricki made at a family reunion. Everyone was talking about how great it was!
16 oz. container of 2% low fat cottage cheese
10 oz. pkg. of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1 C shredded low-moisture part skim mozzarella cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 jar (7oz) roasted red peppers, well drained, chopped
1/3 C grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour into greased 9 inch pie plate. Bake 40 minutes or until center is set. (Usually takes about an hour)
Tips:
You can substitute 1/2 chopped red bell peppers for the roasted peppers

Janie's Ham Rolls
I got this little recipe from my cousin Janie. She made these for a family reunion, and everyone loved them. Simple but delicious! :)
package of frozen parker house style rolls
butter
brown sugar
deli sliced ham
Thaw rolls and then separate tops from bottoms. Melt some butter and brown sugar together in the microwave just enough to create a golden brown color. Spoon some of the butter and brown sugar into the bottom part of each roll. Top with a small piece of deli ham. Put tops of rolls back on, and bake as instructed on package.
