Easy Recipe: {Pesto Pasta Salad}

Here is a yummy and super easy for a Pesto Pasta Salad. I make this when I have a pop-up party, making dinner for others, or even catering an event. The longest part of this salad is really just waiting for the pasta to cool. I wish I could tell you that I made the pasta by hand and made homemade pesto sauce...but I normally take the easy way out and use boxed pasta and delicious pre-made pesto.

{Pesto Pasta Salad}

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Rotini {Corkscrew} or Farfalle {Bowtie} pasta
• 1 package of cherry tomatoes {cut in half lengthwise}
• 1 small can of sliced black olives
• 1 small purple onion {small diced}
• 3/4 cup of pesto sauce...I felt bad leaving you hanging with out a "real" pesto sauce recipe.

 Directions:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and put in a large bowl to cool. 
• Once the pasta is cooled, add tomatoes, black olives, onion, and pesto. Add s & p to taste. Toss all together and enjoy!

SEE, I told you it was easy! Look at how yummy it is!

Planning and Selling

Wow...is all I have to say! This moving process has really picked up speed. M and I have taken care of a lot, but it seems like the list is getting longer and we can't keep up. I'm not complaining...this is an awesome experience, but it truly makes you wonder how and why people move. *Just be thankful about the opportunity*- We can do it!

 We took a break from packing and selling to have a complimentary lunch a McAlister's Deli. We did a little planning too.

Selling some furniture...

...and loving new pieces! We didn't buy this, but I really like the rustic look of the piece.

The countdown for us is now at: 13 days! Oh man...my stomach is getting nervous.
