Recently, I took a little mini-vacation from blogging……….er, ok, who am I kidding? I was just lazy and wanted to catch up on a few episodes of Parenthood that had stacked up on the DVR! I can’t help myself, I love this dysfunctional family. Do you watch Parenthood? They are the modern-day Walton’s.

I’ll have to admit, I love to watch TV. Before I started blogging, if I was home the TV would be on even if I wasn’t watching anything. I guess it was just the noise; it kept me company. Nowadays, I don’t even turn the TV on most days. I do record a couple of shows and watch them when it rains and I run on the treadmill.

So, my mini vacation consisted of eating ~~the peanuts out of~~ snack mix and Vegetable Pasta Salad, drinking diet Mt Dew, and watching the three generations of the imperfect Braverman’s fails and triumphs!

It was good; a much-needed break. But let’s get back to that

Vegetable Pasta Salad!

I love this salad because

It’s quick and easy to make

It’s tasty, and

I can make it beforehand and refrigerate.

You will love this salad for all the same reasons!
