Italian Pasta Salad with Ham
Pasta salad is a favorite anytime of the year. But our Italian Pasta Salad with Ham is especially good for spring. Leftover Easter ham would be great in this salad. But you don’t need an excuse to buy Oklahoma-made Schwab’s ham, which is always in season. This pasta salad makes four to six generous servings, making it great for lunch or dinner. It’s loaded with Scissortail Farms spinach and thyme, Leonard Mountain olives and sundried tomatoes. Dianne’s Legendary Italian Salad Dressing rounds out the flavor. This pasta salad also starts with the best pasta in Oklahoma, locally made Della Terra fusilli pasta. Della Terra is an artisan small-batch pasta maker with unique shapes and a homemade quality you can taste.
Honey Mustard Chicken Wings
Here’s the perfect March Madness snack food. These tasty wings have great flavor from Oklahoma ingredients. When eating out, chicken wings are a perennial favorite. If you wonder if you can make them at home as good as your favorite restaurant, give our version a try. Make your own honey-mustard sauce with Seikel’s Oklahoma Gold Mustard, a hearty whole-grain style mustard, plus Cheatwood’s Honey. A little all-purpose Head Country Championship Seasoning kicks up the flavor. Preparation and cleanup for these wings couldn’t be easier. Everything is tossed in a sealed plastic bag, placed on a sheet pan and baked in the oven. It’s a true one-dish dinner. These wings would also be perfect for snacking during March Madness. If you’re expecting a crowd, make a double batch because everyone’s going to love them!

Macaroni and Cheese Soup
Cheesy comfort food become creamy soup in this fun recipe that will bring everyone to the table at dinnertime. Who doesn’t love macaroni and cheese? But have you ever tried this comfort food as a soup? Macaroni and Cheese Soup will be as delicious to grownups as it will to kids. This creamy, cheesy soup comes together with a roux made with Shawnee Mills flour and Hiland milk. Rather than simple elbow macaroni, use Oklahoma-made Della Terra pasta, which has a distinct homemade flavor. Adding broccoli to the soup adds both color and nutrition, but if you’re not a broccoli fan, it’s no problem to leave it out. Two types of cheese – Parmesan and cheddar – round out the flavor of this macaroni and cheese you’ll eat with a spoon.
