If there is one side dish I love to make free 1 hour play casino during grilling season, it’s pasta salad.  And this Easy Creamy Pasta Salad is my new favorite.

I know – I think each time I post a recipe I say it’s my “new favorite.”  Hazard (benefit?) of the job, I guess.  I’m always looking for bonus in online casinos and trying out new recipes, so it seems like there are very few things that we eat multiple times.

We’ve had this pasta salad three times in the last three weeks.  ?

This Easy Creamy Pasta Salad is so easy to make real cash with the bonus money, and totally customizable.  I listed the vegetables I included in my version, but you can switch things up and include whatever ingredients your family enjoys.

A disclaimer here: I absolutely hate cottage cheese.  I’ve tried everything I can think of to like it (you know, like mixing in fruit), but I just can’t bring myself to eat it.  And I want to like it – boy, do I want to like it – since it’s a fairly healthy food.  So, when my mom brought this pasta salad to my aunt’s house on Easter, I was really hesitant to try it.

I loved this pasta salad, despite the fact that it uses a 24 ounce container of cottage cheese.  It doesn’t taste “cottage cheesy” at all – just cool and creamy and perfect

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
