In our house pasta salad does not last long. The last batch we made lasted only a day or two. I never really eat it before when I was younger. Now, for some unknown reason, I like it. We dragged my HUGE stock pot out of the basement for this:
Note the size of the salad dressing bottle next to this mammoth pot! While the water started to boil in this beast, we started to prep our other stuff. We got fresh mozzarella, Colby jack cheese, black olives and celery. You can see my smaller stock pot in this pict.
Finally, we mixed it all together, and this is how it looked (ok, the pict is kind of dark, but you can get the idea): 
One thing that I saw at the store that made me wonder about food choices here was this: 
Would you really give these to your kids as breakfast??? Hubby also showed me that Pop-tarts have 400 calories if you eat one package of them. The serving size is one (they come in packs of 2) and one of them is 200 calories! Hummmm..... Today, however, I am on a mission to find our recipe for beef jerky. We got the meat and stuff to make it now, I have to find the recipe! I also have to dig out the food dehydrator too. I want to make some apple chips in it sometime too! Hubby needs to show me how to use it again. We haven't made jerky in a long long time! YUM!
Seeing as I haven't cooked a meal in months, it's good to know that with all my vacation time I can start cooking again. I have some new recipes that I want to try out this summer! ^_^
