Ahhh the Weekend...

So I have about a bajillion things on my to-do list this weekend, including cleaning the apartment which took up the entire morning. (Yea it was that messy... OK fine, dirty). Ugh. I hate cleaning. My goal in life is to find a life partner that will clean up after me. Unfortunately my life partner really hates doing that. Pshh. Anyway, so in spite of all the crap that I need to get done I am determined to keep trying out new recipes. For lunch I'm going to try to make pasta salad:

I made up my own recipe, but used this site for a template.

Cook 1 lb of bow-tie pasta. Drain and let it cool by spreading it out in a large baking sheet.

Chop up 2 lbs of veggies. I used cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives and onions. ( I also tried to use cucumbers, but my cucumber had frozen in my stupid fridge.)

Add in 2 tbs. of Italian (flat-leafed) parsley.

Add in 1/2 c of blue cheese, 1/2 c of walnuts, salt and pepper

Finally stir everything together with 1 c of balsamic vinaigrette (I used Ken's Steakhouse Balsamic Basil Vinaigrette).

Enjoy!
