I’ve just discovered your blog and can’t wait to try out your recipes!
This one in particular looks delicious. However, I don’t have Truvia so will be using sugar – surely 2/3 CUP of sugar isn’t right?? Was that a typo? Did you mean 2/3 Tablespoon?
Hi everyone,
I cooked this recipe yesterday night using Spanish cheese as it was the only one I had at home and I didn´t have time to go on shopping, it was delicious though, I think it improved the whole thing, why don´t you try it too, I´m sure it´ll be worthy, just have a look at this website and let me know what do you think,
Kind regards
Ana

This is fantastic! I adore pasta salad so I love a recipe that is healthier. I refuse to let summer go, it’s still decently warm here so I can pretend! 🙂

Love the recipe….what’s in a Skinny Firefly? I followed the link to the Firefly website but didn’t see any information on the ‘skinny’. Thanks.

I love it. This recipe was printed and put into a file sleeve for the kitchen. You are too cute!
I loooove macaroni salad, no matter what time of year. I like the vinegar in this one…must lighten it up a lot.
And, I just took a quick peek at that corn dip. Hello! Perfect for pre-game partying!
