Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400
• 2. Mix crushed pretzels, butter & 4 T sugar in large bowl. Pat into 9 by 13 inch pan and bake for 8 minutes. Cool.
• 3. Beat cream cheese & 1 cup sugar in large bowl until smooth. Fold cool whip into mixture. Spread into cooled pretzel crust.
• 4. Prepare jello using 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir frozen strawberries into jello and immediately pour onto cream layer.
• 5. Refridgerate 4 hours until set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the pretzels, sugar and butter to a food processor and process until crumbled and well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Bake until the pretzels are set and slightly more golden than before, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, clean the food processor, add the cream cheese and pulse 5 to 6 times to soften, scraping the bowl as needed. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled pretzels, making sure that it goes all the way to the edges so that no pretzels can be seen, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin. Continue to stir constantly until the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the strawberries. Use a ladle to carefully spoon the gelatin mixture on top of the chilled cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until the gelatin is set, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Slice into squares and serve cold.

Steps:

• Mix together the first three ingredients and spread into a 9x13 inch dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and cool.
• Beat together cream cheese and one cup of sugar.
• Stir in cool whip and spread on cooled pretzel crust.
• Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water.
• Stir in strawberries and let set for ten minutes.
• Pour on top of cheese mixture and chill to the Jell-o is set (about four hours).

Steps:

• Roast the chicken (if you're using a cooked, store-bought chicken, skip this step): Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan. Rub 1 tablespoon salt around the inside of the cavity, then stuff it with the thyme, lemon and garlic. Tie the legs closed with cooking twine. Rub olive oil over the entire bird, and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon salt and the black pepper. Place on the rack and roast for 72 to 80 minutes. After 72 minutes, begin testing for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the leg, close to the bone. The chicken is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the chicken. Use your hands to remove all the meat (remember, it will be hotter internally) and shred into 2-inch strips. If you're not going to make the salad for a few hours, place the meat in the refrigerator, but be sure to remove it and let come to room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes before serving, to bring out the best flavor.
• Make the dressing: Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, until everything is combined. With the machine on low, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing is emulsified.
• Assemble the salad: Drizzle pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. In a large mixing bowl, combine pears, greens, beans, tomatoes, onion, avocado and half the chicken meat. Add some of the dressing and toss to make sure everything is lightly coated, adding more dressing if needed. Divide the mixture equally among 4 or 6 plates. Lay the rest of the chicken on top and serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing in case people want to add more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix crushed pretzels, margarine, and 3 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl. Press into a 9x9-inch baking dish in a flat layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool thoroughly, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Cream 1 cup sugar with cream cheese in a bowl; fold in whipped topping. Spread on top of cooled crust.
• Mix strawberry and raspberry gelatin mixes with boiling water until thoroughly dissolved. Stir in frozen berries until distributed. Pour over whipped topping mixture. Chill until set, about 2 hours.
