Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

Summer veggie pasta salad

 Many times I really don't have a recipe to make pasta salads and this one is no different. But I'll try and get the measurements close to what I used. Go by your own taster. This really is a good summer pasta salad. Enjoy!

Boil 2/3 cup pasta in salted water until al dente, I used elbow. Cool and stop the cooking by rinsing in cold water. Let drain then put in bowl.
Add veggies of your choice. I used the following:

broccoli pieces
fresh peas (frozen uncooked)
shredded carrots
sliced black olives
chopper celery
chopped seeds removed, cucumber
chopped onion
diced colby jack cheese for some protein.

Dressing
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 Tbls sour cream
2 Tbls mayo
1 to 2 Tbls milk to thin down
sugar to taste if you want it sweet.

Mix well and add to pasta and veggies. Mix well and refrigerate for several hours before serving. If kept overnight, you may need to add some ranch to freshen it up a bit.
