Cool Down Your Hot Summer Day with Jim’s Famous Pasta Salad!

 | 

pasta saladJim Davidson has dozens of amazing recipes and this one is right up there with the best! It’s definitely Kristen Calhoun’s favorite. She is our Listing and Marketing Coordinator and also one of Jim’s daughters. Jim made a huge batch for a group of us that participated in Relay for Life this year. It was the perfect treat throughout a very hot day. We hope you love it as much as we do! 

JD’s FAMOUS PASTA SALAD

1  Green pepper (Bell) chopped
1  Red pepper chopped
1  Yellow pepper chopped
1  Bunch scallions (green onions) chopped
1  Cup chopped parsley
1  Cup sliced green olives
1  Cup sliced black olives
1  Cup sliced mushrooms (jar)
1  Tablespoon dried oregano
1  Teaspoon dried basil or optional 1 cup fresh chopped basil (which is better)
½  Teaspoon thyme
2  Teaspoon chopped or minced garlic (jar)
½  Cup olive oil
½  Cup Italian dressing
4  1 lb. packages of pasta (I use a mixture of 4 or 5 types of pasta but always include bow tie)

Put all ingredients in a bowl with olive oil and Italian dressing.  Mix well.  Cook pasta until done, but not mushy.  Run cold water over pasta until cool.  Drain pasta and add to mixture then stir.  Use additional Italian dressing to desired consistency.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Serve cold. I like to serve with my tuna salad.

Enjoy!

Jim Davidson Shares his Favorite Holiday Dessert Recipe!

December 22, 2010

Bananas_FosterBananas Foster – Serves 6

• 6 Bananas (cut in half and sliced long ways)
• ¾ lb Light Brown Sugar
• ¾ cup Banana Liquor
• ¾ cup Light Rum
• ¾ stick Light Salted Butter (cut in sections)

In skillet (I use a copper clad oval skillet) add light brown sugar, butter (cut in sections) and banana liquor. Heat it up until bubbling, constantly stirring. Add bananas and gently turn (make sure not to break a part). Only cook about one minute per side. Add white rum and get mixture bubbling again and light the rum on fire. I use a grill lighter. The flame will be blue and burn of all the alcohol. Serve over Bluebell vanilla ice cream.

This dessert is always a big hit and will satisfy even the sweetest tooth!

Merry Christmas
Jim
