Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

I've been the biggest fan of pickle flavored items this year! Trader Joe's got me hooked with their variety of pickle flavored popcorn, mustard, cheese, chips...I could go on and on. :) I found a dill pickle pasta salad recipe online and tweaked it until it was a perfect side dish to go with dinner on the grill! 

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

Prep Time: 15 minutes    Servings: 6

Ingredients: 

1/2 box of medium sized shell pasta

2/3 cup of mayonnaise (I like Hellman's)

1/3 cup of sour cream (reduced fat works great!)

4 tablespoons of pickle juice

3/4 cup of chopped dill pickles (I like the refrigerated kind) 

1/4 cup of diced white onion

1/2 cup of diced cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill 

Couple shakes of paprika

Salt, pepper 

Directions:

  1. Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. 
  2. Dice/Chop your dill pickles, white onion, cheddar cheese, and dill. Then place in the bottom of a bowl. 
  3. In another bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, pickle juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined. 
  4. Cook your pasta shells until they are al dente, then drain in a colander and run under cool water. 
  5. Place cooled pasta in the bowl with dill pickles, onion, cheddar cheese and dill. Then toss with dressing. Keep pasta salad refrigerated until dinner time! 


This is about the size you'll want to chop your cheddar cheese and pickles to: just big enough that you can get some for each bite!


The perfect creamy pasta salad for your next dinner. Enjoy!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
