These first two recipes are tried and true classics that are a regular part of my cooking repertoire- the rest are some great recipes that I’m anxious to try. I love stockpiling salad dressing, especially Russian and Italian! And with Wishbone dressing only $0.09 each at Albertsons, how can you go wrong?

GLAZED CHICKEN

1 bottle Russian salad dressing
1 10-12 oz jar Apricot preserves
2 pkgs dry onion soup mix

Place chicken, cut up, on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour 15 min.

Sauce will keep one month stored in fridge.
