BLT Salad

BLT Salad


Hey there! Guys, I'm not gonna lie. I've been in a blogging slump. And not for lack of desire, either. I just can't settle on a project I love lately. But, there's light at the end of the tunnel for me. I just did something crazy in our house, and I can't wait to show you, but it's not finished yet. You'll be the first to know, so stay tuned! Until then, here's a yummy salad I whipped up the other day. I'm calling it a BLT salad. It was so filling because of the pasta, and delicious because, well, it has bacon (and everything is more delicious with bacon). Our kids even loved having this for dinner. Enjoy!

BLT Salad
2 c. uncooked rigatoni
10 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
2 hearts of Romaine lettuce, chopped
2 T. chopped red onion
2 c. grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 c. Parmesan cheese

Dressing:
1/4 c. olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar
pinch salt
1/4 tsp. Dijon mustard

Cook rigatoni according to package directions. Rinse and cool.
Meanwhile, combine salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss. When pasta is cool, add it to the bowl.
Whisk dressing ingredients together, pour over salad and toss to combine.

Enjoy!

quick and easy dinner idea

Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up!

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Did you know Halloween is the third most popular holiday in America, topped only by Thanksgiving and Christmas? If you have kids, this probably comes as no surprise. Children anticipate Halloween almost as wildly as Christmas morning, mostly because of the candy, but also because of the fun class parties and costume parades that happen each year at school. I often volunteer for our kids' class parties because it's so fun to see all of the cuties in their costumes. Here's a Halloween class treat idea for you: Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups Steps Tear the foil lids off of the pudding cups and line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet or tray to make them easier to carry. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use finely-crushed Oreos if you can't find the boxed kind) on top of the pudding. Put four waffle-style pretzels around the perimeter of each pudding cup to look like a fence. Put a candy-corn pumpkin in the center of each "pumpkin patch." Remember to brin...

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
