How is your summer going? I’m loving it! Actually we are on vacation right now. I’m laid back and enjoying the ride, while my hubby is driving us to pick up four of our grandchildren. This is going to be a great week, I’m so ready! We’re going 4-wheeling at the sand dunes, camping, and playing with grandchildren. What can be better than that! The camper is packed with lots of yummy treats and food, we will be eating like kings! That’s one of the things I love about camping is the food! We DO eat good when we’re out playing. My favorite things are the salad’s and today I’m sharing a favorite. This Italian Pasta Salad is great with just about anything, a hamburger, a sandwich, or a steak, it the perfect side dish.
