looking for an old recipe, I found these 3 I had and used/saved from "QVC Discussion Forums"in 2002 & 2004. Thought I'd share in their original format when I printed them.

Greek Shrimp Pasta (Tucker on 01/26/02)

1/2 linguine or favorite string pasta
1/4 cup (1/2 stick butter)
2garlic cloves, minced (or to taste)
2 T. dry white wine or dry sherry
20 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
1 tomato, diced or 1 (15-1/2 oz.)can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Cilantro or more to taste
2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
Fresh Parmesan-reggiano cheese, shredded

Cook pasta and drain. In large skillet, heat butter, garlic and wine until butter is melted. Add shrimp, tomato, cilantro and sauté over moderately high heat about 3 min. Or until shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and stir in feta cheese. Pour over linguini and sprinkle with Parmesan. If desired, serve with crusty bread.

Marinated Rice (unknown posted on 6/29/2002)

14oz can marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup bottled Italian dressing
7oz. Box chicken flavored rice mix
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Curry powder
1/3 cup mayonnaise
16oz can pitted black olives, drained
4 green onions, sliced

Marinate artichoke hearts in dressing for 1hour. Add curry powder to rice and cook according to package directions. Stir in mayonnaise, olives, onions and drained artichokes hearts. Cover and chill overnight. Serve with meat, poultry or fish.

Here is a response posted to a thread 6/15/2004. I still use this tip to make chicken salad. Wish I saved poster 's name to thank him/her.  It is delicious.

"I buy a big tray of chicken breasts with skin and bones on at sam' club. place on a large cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour, until golden and done."

Cool till you can handle them without burning your hands. Remove and discard skin and bones. Break up the breast meat into bite size chunks, and place in a large bowl.

Open a large can of pineapple tidbits in juice, and sprinkle chicken with some of the juice. Just enough for a subtle flavor. Cover chicken and refrigerate. Drain, save and refrigerate rest of pineapple chunks. You can prepare to this point the day before ."

3-4 hours before serving, add well drained pineapple Tidbits to the chicken. Add a cup of walnuts, fresh chives to taste, and Hellmans mayo to taste, toss and chill well. People really like this chicken salad."

Note: I  use this method to make my own salad but forgot where I got the recipe originally .  I usually add celery too.

You reminded me of all of the great recipes that I've gotten from the Recipe forum over the years and this is one of my faves posted by 'BritBrit' in 2013:

"So moist, and one thing use a whisk on the topping the whole time!! don't stop it will get like a light caramel color....well first its a white color then as you whisk it it darkens..WOW!!its so good..I might just double it the topping the next time.. also make sure you put the topping on it while its hot."
