Greek Pasta Salad

The weather has been warming up so I was craving a pasta salad. I looked around the web for some recipes and finally found a few I liked. I took a little of this one, and a little of that one and finally came up with this. So yummy! I just couldn't get enough of this dish. Perfect for a summer night.

Ingredients

• 1 Pkg of pasta (I used whole wheat bow tie)
• a couple green onions (optional, I left them out b/c my kids aren't fond of them, but they would be tasty)
• 8oz raw milk feta cheese, grated or crumbled
• 2-3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1-2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced (best to marinate in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and spices, but I didn't think that far ahead)
• Spices to taste (sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil)

Cook your pasta, drain and rinse in cold water to chill. Then add tomatoes, cucumbers and spinach. Mix your oil & vinegar with spices to taste in a jar or shaker. Shake well then pour over pasta mix. Toss well and chill for 1-2 hours (or even overnight).

A Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Okay - this is just about the greatest thing I have ever seen. I LOVE this and can't wait till the twins are at the age for this. We still have another year to go, but I'm printing my Michael's coupon and snagging one of these doors for this project now so I'll have everything ready to go when the time is right.

Easter Bargins on Amazon!

With three little ones, getting in and out of stores quickly is a chore and forget about browsing or comparing things to find just what you're looking for, so I LOVE shopping online. The other day I was looking around Amazon and found several great deals for Easter baskets. Check out all the deals at my post on Today's Mama.

Now is the time to Stop the Wasps

The kids and I were out playing this morning and I noticed a wasp scouting out our swingset so I quickly jumped up and grabbed a paper bag, blew some air into it and tied it up on our swingset to keep them away. When we were in Canada last summer we noticed people had these bags up everywhere. We finally stopped someone and asked what they were for and he said the wasps. If you set it up BEFORE they move in they will not build a nest in that area. How cool is that! Apparently, wasps are very terratorial and if there's is already a nest in the area, they'll move on. I have one more place on the side of the house I want to put a bag (we had wasps there a few years ago), but hubby will have to tackle that with a ladder this weekend.
