Pasta Salad with Peas
A fresh twist on a pasta salad. Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated and served later.
Homemade Caesar Dressing
This homemade Caesar dressing is easy to make and better tasting than anything I have found in a store. It has kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container, but I normally finish it off way before then. In a matter of minutes you will have freshly made dressing with a great flavor and only one thing to wash—definitely a crowd pleaser at my house.
Classic Minestrone Soup
Minestrone is a hearty Italian soup traditionally made with beans, pasta, and lots of vegetables. Enjoy the slow-cooked flavor in just about 30 minutes.
