We frequently host picnics and outdoor parties at our house in the summer, and I've found it's difficult to keep the salads cold. Then I came upon the idea of filling a child's plastic swimming pool with ice. I set it on a sturdy table and nestled my cold dishes in it. It works great. —Kathern L., Negley, Ohio

Herbed Chicken in Pastry

This was my first time using puff pastry and it was a great success. It was so easy to put this recipe together, so you don't have to save this one just for company. It has so many possibilities, too. I thought it was delicious as is, but I would like to try artichoke chicken with it also. —jilliebean_az, Recipes Forum
