This Pasta salad is a nutritious and light summer meal or side dish. My 4 yr old loves the veggies in this. I regularly use up grilled leftovers (chicken and veggies) in this salad.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add broccoli florets and asparagus to the boiling water during the last 5 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to cool.

In a large serving bowl, stir together the diced chicken, kidney beans, black olives, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and Italian dressing. Stir in the pasta, broccoli and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like it pretty heavy on the pepper. This salad is best if chilled for a couple of hours before serving.

Cherry Smash
This cherry smash recipe is a variation of a whiskey cocktail. It's a sipping drink and so good. Super swanky and very retro with a modern take. It's my new favorite cocktail.
Spinach Lasagna
A spinach lasagna recipe made with fresh spinach and plenty of cheese — ricotta, Romano, and mozzarella. This cheesy, hearty lasagna can also be made without the spinach.
Turkish Doner Kebab
This doner kebab is so tasty — I'm sure once you try it, you'll want to make it again and again! Serve with lightly toasted pita or flatbread, chili sauce, and a salad of shredded cabbage, carrot, onion, and sliced cucumber. It's easy to make in advance, slice and freeze for whenever you get that craving!
