Greek-Inspired Pasta Salad

Happy Friday Eve! I've been loving making and eating pasta salads, and I made up a yummy little Greek-Inspired pasta salad this week. I love a greek salad; it's a very typical side dish for us during the summer months. Here's a tasty variation that's perfect to take for lunch or a side dish! 


Greek Pasta Salad

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

1 box of rotini pasta (I used rainbow rotini, but really anything will work just fine)

1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

1 yellow pepper, diced 

1 red pepper, diced

1/2 purple onion, diced

1 English cucumber, diced

Feta Cheese

Greek-Inspired salad dressing

Optional - black olives would be yummy in this, if your family enjoys them. Mine don't so it's omitted. 

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When a rolling boil is reached, cook your pasta until it is al dente. 
  2. Place all of your cut vegetables in a large bowl. 
  3. Dump in your drained, cooked pasta. 
  4. Top with a big squirt of salad dressing and mix until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. 
  5. Top with feta cheese. 
  6. Store in the fridge for a few hours until it's nice and chilled. 
  7. Yum!

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

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...

  HOORAY for Friday. 😊 I couldn't be more excited for the weekend ahead! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some of my favorite "happies" from the week.  We had THE BEST weekend last weekend! Saturday morning we were up and out the door early for a trip to Trader Joe's where we filled out cart with all the pumpkin-goodness we could find.  We were home by 11 and decided it was time to put some more fall decor outside... ...to the delight of the boys. 😉 We have an inflatable dachshund (of course we do) that says "Happy Fall-oween!" It's a favorite of the boys for sure.  A trip to Trader Joe's means that my family is having yummy (easy!) dinners during the week. I made a ridiculously easy  Potsticker Stir Fry  for an easy dinner this week while Dustin worked late. We also made some yummy flat breads using their Carne Asada, chimichurri sauce and arugula. This one was our FAVORITE!  Jack's favorite thing to do these day...
