30 minutes before dinner, prepare instant tea by stirring 1 packet sugar-free instant tea (to make 2-quarts) with 8 cups cold water in a 2-quart pitcher until dissolved. It is very important that you do this recipe first because the tea needs to marinate.
Peal and cut each kiwi into 8 slices.*
Set out 8 drinking glasses (for best results use tall glasses.) In each glass alternate putting ice cubes and slices of kiwi, put 3-6 ice cubes and 2 slices of kiwi per glass.
Fill each glass with prepared tea and let the beverages marinate. The kiwi will flavor the tea as it sets. Pieces of ice and kiwi should be floating in the glasses. It is very pretty.
25 minutes before dinner, remove seeds and rind from melons. Cut melons into bite size chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
Alternate pieces of honeydew and cantaloupe chunks on the kabob skewers. Cut kabob skewers in half. Place kabobs on platter. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator.
10 minutes before dinner, in a medium bowl shred the 2 (13-ounce) cans of drained chicken breast by pressing the chicken against the inside of the mixing bowl with the back of a large mixing spoon.
Drain and discard the juice from 1 (8-ounce) can sliced pineapple (in pineapple juice). With a sharp knife, cut the pineapple slices while they are still in the can into small pieces. Stir the pineapple and 2/3-cups Teriyaki Baste & Glaze (Kikkoman) in with the chicken until well mixed.
Cut 1 (16-ounce) round loaf King’s Hawaiian Sweet Bread in half horizontally.
With a spatula spread the chicken salad on the bottom layer of the bread and press it firmly with your hands to help secure it to the bread.
Separate 2 thin slices red onion into rings and arrange on top of chicken salad. Place lettuce on top of onion and place top layer of bread on sandwich.
1 minute before dinner, cut sandwich into 8 large, pie shaped pieces. Secure each wedge with a long toothpick. Get melon kebobs from refrigerator and place on table.
* A super easy way to peel kiwi is with a steak knife.

22 minutes before dinner, in a 12-inch, non-stick saucepan over high heat bring 1 1/2-cups chunky salsa, 1 1/4-cups chicken broth, 1-teaspoon taco seasoning mix and 1 (10.75-ounce) can 98% fat-free cream of celery soup to a full boil.
17 minutes before dinner, once liquid is to a full boil stir in 4-cups No Yolk noodles. Bring to a low boil again then reduce heat to medium-low (just enough heat to keep liquid at a low boil). Cover and cook for 10-minutes or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
15 minutes before dinner, make Tex-Mex Garden Salad. In a large bowl stir together until well mixed: 1/4-cup fat- free shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4-cup chilled chunky salsa, 1/4-cup fat-free sour cream and 1-teaspoon Splenda granular. Cover and keep refrigerated to keep chilled.

Put the cut up iceberg lettuce and 18-grape tomatoes in the large bowl on top of the salad dressing ingredients but DO NOT TOSS THE SALAD WITH THE DRESSING YET, because the salad could become soggy or wilted.

6 minutes before dinner, stir together 1/2-teaspoon taco seasoning mix with 1-cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top of casserole. Spray cheese with non-fat cooking spray. Cover and let sit for 3 to 4-minutes or until cheese is melted.
