#WhatsCookingChallenge: Pasta Salad

By Hive account@rwedegis

We stay at lots of RV parks. They love to host pot luck dinners, lunches and brunches. This is one of my go to side dishes that’s easy to make and always a big hit. It’s tasty and colorful and stands out from the rest. This is my own original recipe. I’ve added ingredients over the years and subtracted others. This is my final version. There’s very little prep work, so it’s a very no-stress recipe. The Giardiniera and pepper rings provide enough zip that no other dressing or sauce is required.

WHAT'S COOKING CHALLENGE | PASTA! Fresh Pasta!

By: Hive account@kimmiecfields

Thanks to Hive account@jaynie for nominating me for the #whatscookingchallenge! I really do enjoy cooking. Unfortunately I don't do it often enough. I was excited to see the nomination. I love any excuse to get creative in the kitchen. I love to get inspiration from different recipes. I usually use them as "suggestions"...LOL I vary rarely follow them to the T. Ha! Ha!

(Boys and girls, Young and old)

It's as easy as PIE, I promise hehe

INTRODUCING THE

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE CHALLENGE

In addition to being a complete wine glutton hehe, I am also a HUGE foodie as my Hive account@steemitbloggers family know well… I absolutely LOVE to cook (and eat...lol) - always experimenting with different ingredient and flavour combinations. I seldom follow recipes verbatim – most of the time, I will whizz through them, glancing briefly at the ingredients and method – then heading off to the supermarket, forgetting most of what I have read on the recipe and then improvising,
ending up with something totally awesome and unique!

I know how much I love pushing the boundaries and experimenting in the kitchen, no matter how outlandish the ideas may seem to others. I also love to learn from others and then adapt the ideas to my own tailored tastes. So I thought it would be awesome to see how creative other people get in their kitchens... whether it is a "pimp'd" toasted cheese sandwich or a "rebel" gourmet appetiser.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Yes, here comes the boring recipe part
with rules and boundaries... JUUUST KIDDING!
