Dish Detergent

1 1/2 cups 20 Mule Team Borax (found in the laundry additive isle)
1 1/2 cups Baking Soda
1 cup Salt

Makes enough for approximately 21 loads of dishes when using 2 Tbs per load. Also instead of jet dry try adding white vinegar it will help give you shiney dishes and vinegar is a GREAT cleaning agent and kills lots of germs too!

I found this recipe on another blog, and saved it awhile ago. Can't remember which blog though.

Macaroni Salad

1 box of Macaroni, or whatever pasta you want, I did the Medium Shells in the picture above.

1 can of Tuna or Chicken (I use Tuna if I have the good Costco Albacore, otherwise Fresh and Easy has a good premium can of chicken)

1 cucumber, peeled and quartered

Olives, sliced, however much you want

2 stalk of Celery, sliced

4-6 Green Onion chopped

1/4-1/2 cup Peas

Optional veggies that my Mom uses but I left out:

Radishes, sliced

Green and Red Bell peppers sliced.

Cherry Tomatoes

You can use pretty much any veggie you want to try in there.

Dressing:

1 cup Miracle Whip

1 heaping tsp. sweet relish

3 Tbs. Milk

1-2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce (you want to just barely tint the dressing)

Boil pasta according to directions. Chop all veggies and place in a bowl, once pasta is cooked and cooled put in bowl. Drain and wash meat and then I pull it out with my hands and smush it in between my fingers to make it small and distribute it in bowl, I don't like big chunks of meat. Combine dressing and gradually start adding until it is to your liking. It is best if you can make this up an hour or so before serving. It is better chilled.
