I have a few simple recipes I am going to share with you today – my favorite is my Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad.  My entire family just loves it!  I am able to get all of the ingredients for this recipe at my local Sam’s Club.  Sam’s Club is one of my favorite places to shop.  There is so much I get out of my Sam’s Club membership – In fact I find that I go to Sam’s almost weekly for all of their great services.  I always use their photo department and my husband goes there for his tires but my favorite part (and the kids favorite) is the food.  Weekly I am buying fresh food like their  bread, chicken, fruits and veges.  Every other week I am grabbing items for the kids lunch boxes. #TrySamsClub

One of our favorite things to buy at Sam’s is their rotisserie chickens.  The day I buy the chicken we have Chicken Sandwiches and fresh fruit.  I am able to get the chicken, croissants and apple slices all at Sam’s Club

With the left over chicken I make my pasta salad.  Let me show you how easy it is to make!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad

Ingredients needed: (I grabbed all of this at Sam’s Club)

• 2 cups cooked chicken (I just use the rest of my rotisserrie chicken)
• 2 1/2 cups dry Pasta cooked, drained and cooled
• 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
• Bacon pieces – you can cook up so 5 to 6  bacon slices and cut into pieces or use Bacon bits (a cup or two should do)!
• 1 cup Shredded Cheese
• 1 1/2 cups Frozen Veges (cooked) – I use whatever frozen vege I have on hand (pees are a favorite)

To assemble add your cooked/shredded chicken, cooked (drained/cooled) pasta, cooked/drained vege and gently mix with the ranch dressing.  Top with your cheese and bacon and mix that it.  Place it a pretty dish and add a little more bacon and cheese to the top and you have a delicious dinner ready to go!

On this last trip to Sam’s Club I took my mom with me so I could show her how great everything is.  I would like to share with you some of the things I pointed out to her that I love!  When first entering Sams we went straight to the first and grabbed fresh bread, tortillas and a box of croissants – my favorite!  Sometimes the kids can talk me into grabbing some muffins as well – they are oh so good!  Next I stop and grab a rotisserie chicken – or sometimes more than 1 depending on my menu.  I find them to be perfect for my meal planning and are usually cheaper then a whole uncooked chicken – Bonus points for me!

I love to hit up the veges and fruit area as well as look at the cheeses, fresh pastas and pizza – yum!  After that there are several items I grab in the frozen food section (like frozen veges, chicken nuggets and icecream).  We finish up our shopping by buying a few items in the grocery aisle (like canned fruit & veges, pasta, pasta sauce and cereal).

One of my other places I never miss is the beverages and disposables area.  We drink a ton of bottled water in our home (our city has nasty water) and I always stock up on paper plates and plastic utinsels.  I am a busy mom and the less dishes I have to do the better – some nights pulling out the paper plates is what saves my sanity!

I also love using the Fresh Pasta at Sam’s Club.  They have several different kinds/flavors.  The one I bought for our menu this week has Sausage and Cheese in it – so good!  I make up  a quick batch of my Spaghetti Sauce and cook up the fresh pasta and have another quick meal ready.

These are only a few of my favorite meals I make using Sam’s Club food.  What is your favorite thing to grab from Sam’s Club and make?
