July 4th Quickie

Happy Fourth of July!

This weekend has been very busy, busy, busy! The BF is leaving for Belgium tomorrow, and we leave for vacation the day after he returns… sooooo we’ve been doing a whole lot of packing, planning, and organizing.

We’re hoping to get in some R&R tonight, so this will be a quick post. But, I did want to share the super easy healthified pasta salad recipe I made for the family picnic:

1 box dreamfields low carb spiral pasta
1 bottle fat free giant eagle dressing
1 carton grape tomatoes, halved
1 green peppers, cubed
2 celery stalks chopped
half bag baby carrots chopped
1 bag cheese cubes

Voila!

Amazing giant jalapeno cheddar bread and cheesy jalapeno dip my sister made!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
