Summer needs pasta salads!
Summer is just about here! Like most moms, I am both excited about it and dreading it at the same time. Schedules that are filled with pool parties and family vacations are much more enjoyable than the chaos of school projects and lost permission slips.
However, summer vacation also means bickering kids and a work at home mom who doesn’t get much accomplished.The one thing I love about summer is getting together with friends for BBQs, picnics, and dinner at the pool. It’s a great way to reconnect and relax every once in a while. One of my favorite dishes to bring to an outdoor gathering is a simple pasta salad recipe.
