Pizza Pasta Salad
Adding pepperoni to your pasta salad means your kids will definitely eat their salad! Pizza Pasta Salad is a hearty and delicious recipe for any night of the week. S works BOTH days this weekend. Which sucks. He took Thursday and Friday off so he didn't accrue overtime. So, I worked while he was home and he'll work while I'm home.

Greek Pasta Salad
Ugh. It has been one of THE WORST days at work. I was almost in tears with the amount of stress I have been up against today. I had planned on performing this task monthly. For some reason with the current budget the way it's been going; I just knew we'd have to report...AGAIN! I just wish the parent department would figure out how they want us to report it. It was, "DO X and subtract Y." "No that's not right. Those numbers are wrong. But there's no explanation on WHY the … [Read more...]
Pizza Pasta Salad
Click here for recipe All You, May 2010 Okay, so there's going to be A LOT of pasta recipes. My father gave me three grocery bags full of different types of pasta. This should be interesting.

I used campari or calipari or something like that. I think it could use some tomato sauce or something. The … [Read more...]
Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Salad
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, July 2010 This sounded really interesting, and being as it was hot as hell this week, I went with mostly salads. I am a firm believer of tasting the chipotles before you use them. I didn't this time. It needed more chipotle. They apparently weren't very spicy in this can. Being as I wanted t make this a dinner salad, so I also added some avocado to the mix. Don't. It turned out to be a shrimp guacamole. Yeah, sounds interesting, but it really wasn't. … [Read more...]
Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, April 2008 So, goat cheese was WAY too expensive. We used RF feta instead. It was light. It was easy. It was filling. It was pretty good for lunch the next day, too. We didn't serve it with pita bread, but maybe some pita with hummus would be a good compliment to the salad. Definitely a summer favorite. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Mixing bowl Saucepan … [Read more...]
