NEW Recipe: Bowtie Pasta Salad

Another aspect of throwing a baby shower is the food.

Aside from the invitations and decorations, I wanted to bring something I had been craving:

Pasta Salad!

I knew my friend loved it and I decided to put a twist on it:

normally, I use vegetable rotini but since we were throwing a Mustache Bash, I used bowtie pasta.

{I love it when my brain makes me feel smart!}

 

The "secret" to my pasta salad is the dressing.

I've made pasta salad for years and one I discovered

Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian dressing, I ALWAYS use it.

It truly is an absolute must for this recipe!

 

Here's how I do it:

It's simple but delicious. Perfect for a summer get-together.

Recipe: Strawberry Nectarine Shortcake

 I love nectarines!

I look forward to them every year!

I LOVE this juicy combination of peach & plum!

 

Several years ago, I discovered that they are

a great companion to strawberries.

The flavors really compliment each other!

 

So today I'm sharing my recipe for

Strawberry Nectarine Shortcake!

Here's the recipe:

Chop up 2 nectarines (each one yields 1 cup).

Chop up 1 pint of strawberries.

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and mix them together.

Put in the fridge while you make the shortcake

in the recipe below.

 

{Print the recipe HERE}

 

Let the shortcake cool completely before serving.

PLEASE NOTE: This makes an 8x8 cake.

For a 9x13 cake, DOUBLE the recipe.

 

I like to slice my cake in half and layer

the fruit and whipped topping.
