2 yummy side dishes.

I usually don't seem to get around to the side dish but I made both these yesterday and they were easy and really good.

Parmesan Herbed Noodles
3 c. uncooked wide egg noodles
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
2 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt

In saucepan, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
(This was especially good with parmesan chicken)

Marinated Veggie Salad
1 1/3 c. frozen french-style green beans, thawed
1 c. frozen peas, thawed
2/3 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 c. chopped green onions
2 jars (2 ounces each) diced pimientos, drained

Dressing:
1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbs. canola oil
2 Tbs. cider vinegar
2 tsp. water

In a salad bowl, combine the beans, peas, celery, green pepper, onions and pimientos. In a smalll bowl, combine the dressing ingredients. Pour over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with slotted spoon.

(I didn't have pimientos and I didn't chill it for 2 hours. But it still tasted really good)
