I realize many--okay MOST--of my blog entries are about food :) I'm a bona fide, shameless foodie-girl. I cheerfully blame my Italian father for that ~~oh the hereditary things we must put up with *sigh*~~ Such a hardship LOL--as IF!!
This weekend I made the traditional big breakfast for my family--biscuits n gravy, sausage n eggs, went all out and made cinnamon rolls as well. I catered to ALL the taste buds in my house and let me tell you, they were dancin' lol.
Besides breakfast cookin', other good things were goin' on here. I discovered a pasta salad recipe whilst shopping at Sam's Club--ya know how they have alllll kindsa samples n such on Saturdays? Well, the girlie tried a pasta salad that she insisted she LOVED and wanted to make it RIGHT NOW. I glanced at the recipe card and assured her it was a breeze to make n we'd have all the ingredients. And sure enough, we made it later that afternoon. Both she and her Daddy loved it. It's a refreshing, summery pasta salad that I thought was well worth sharing.
Tuscan Pasta Salad:
Rotini or Penne Pasta
