Italian Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

Rotini pasta noodles
Grape tomatoes
Black olives
Green pepper, sliced
Pepperoni cut in 4ths
Mozzarella cheese cubes
shredded parmesan cheese
Italian Dressing - I use a full bottle of Olive Garden Italian Dressing

Instructions:

Boil noodles according to package
While noodles are boilings, slice up green pepper, pepperoni, cheese
You can slice the tomatoes in half if you wish, I've made this multiple times and sometimes I cut them, sometimes I don't
Let the noodles cool down a bit and use half the dressing on the noodles and mix it up
Then add the other ingredients and use the rest of the bottle of the dressing and mix it up
You can either serve right away or put it in the fridge for a bit. I've made this the day before a picnic and it is pretty good cold

Corn, Chicken, and Rice

Instant Pot Cheesy Ground Beef and Rice There actually is no chicken in this recipe!

Mommy Waffles

Mommy Waffles One day my oldest wanted breakfast and I asked him what he'd like. He said, "Mommy waffles". I just about died it was the sweetest thing. I had made homemade waffles just a few times for us and they were so good!! I used my waffle iron so much I had to buy a new one. Ingredient List: 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: Heat up your waffle iron Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl Mix all the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl Whisk all the ingredients together until nice and smooth Use a 1/4 or a 1/2 cup of batter for your waffles when the iron is nice and hot. I have a Cuisinart Waffle Maker and use 1/2 cup of batter for it. It makes 8 waffles. There are a lot of times we don't have all 8 and I freeze them. Another thing I started doing was using a mini waffle maker and making this whole...
