impromptu mac salad success

we were outside playing in the garden or sandbox all morning. i come in and try to figure out what will make a yummy but easy lunch. i start with fresh farm eggs that we bought at “the piggy market” yesterday. i always make a point of telling the kids we are getting “fresh farm eggs” because it does make a difference…a big difference. you never know how fresh they are when you get them at the grocery stores.

while they boil up i also boil water for macaroni. chop some cherry tomatoes in half, and finely dice a red pepper. i add a glob of mayonaise, a dollop of italian dressing, and two big spoons of sweet green relish. the “salad” looks a bit too red so i run out back and grab a handful of basil and a handfull of parsley. mmm. that’s right. after the macaroni and eggs go in there it is DELISH. i’ve gone from a cheap throw it together meal of whatever is kicking around – to a WOW mac salad with protien and yum factor.

YESSSSS!!! (i love it when that happens.)
