Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
"I tried this dish at a Pampered Chef Party and loved it. I love Caesar Salads and combined with the chicken and pasta it makes for a great dish to take to a potluck or just whenever you want something light. *You could substitute 1 (8 ounce) package of imitation crabmeat for the chicken to make it a Seafood version of the salad. Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce if desired."

I live about an hour west from St. Louis out in the country. I love it here it's so peaceful and serene. I tend to spend most of my free time reading, watching movies or tv. I like to watch Food Network shows too, mostly Pioneer Woman, Trisha Yearwood, Ina Garten, and many others. I love cooking for family and friends. I'm always asked to bring a dish to a potluck or dinner. My specialty is baking and making desserts. Recently, I've been looking for recipes for homemade remedies and soaps, and also homemade gifts in a jar to give as presents. I've never tried doing anything like that and I think it would be fun and interesting to do.?
