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...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
