Recipe Review

I tried this recipe for Blueberry Crumb Muffins tonight and I have to be honest, they are just okay. I did make one minor (?) mistake and put the cinnamonn in the batter instead of the crumb topping. I prefer blueberry muffin mixes I buy at the store so this recipe isn't worth the time and effort in my kitchen. This is the first time I've made blueberry muffins from scratch though and the fresh blueberries were delish and bursting with flavor. I'll keep looking for a better recipe for my family, or just keep buying them in a box!

Pizza Pasta Salad

I made this pasta salad for dinner last night. That's right, I'm off my weekly menu...get over it! Shelly told me about a pasta salad she makes with these ingredients but I've never actually seen it or tasted it so this recipe was sort of an experiment. And it was a hit in my house! Zach decided we should call it Pizza Pasta Salad because it has everything you put on a pizza. Shelly, you'll have to tell me what you do differently.

Pizza Pasta Salad

1 lb cooked pasta, drained and cooled
1 cucumber, seeded and diced
1 can diced tomatoes (I don't have fresh tomatoes from my garden yet)
pepperoni slices cut in fourths
1 can olives, cut in half lengthwise
shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian salad dressing (use as much or as little as you like)

Combine ingredients and chill in fridge.
