I wanted to share a pasta salad recipe with you that has gone over pretty well whenever I've brought it somewhere. You can make it all yourself or cheat and buy one of the Simply Salads from Betty Crocker and they are virtually the same!
PASTA SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
1 Box (6-12 oz.) Pasta Shells
1 Pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Seasoning Mix
1 C. Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Milk
2 Pints Cherry Tomatoes; halved
1 Small Pkg. Frozen Peas
Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse well with cold water. Mix the Ranch, Mayo, Milk, Tomatoes and Peas together. Add the Pasta and stir to mix. You could also add cubed ham to this recipe to add a little more color and flavor.
I hope that you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as we do!

A Burger You Won't Want To Miss
I received this recipe from a wonderful friend of mine, and we had them this week...I think they are the absolute BEST burgers I have ever had!!!! Seriously, they are THAT good! Originally this recipe was used for Meatloaf, but B. decided to try them as burgers and what a wonderful idea that was!
THE BEST BURGERS
INGREDIENTS:
4 Lb. Extra Lean Ground Beef
2 Boxes Stove-Top Stuffing (I used the Savory Herb)
1 Bottle Heinz 57 with Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 C. Spicy Brown Mustard
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/3 C. Fresh; chopped Onion or 5 Tbsp. Minced Onion
3 Tbsp. Montreal Steak Seasoning
Mix the Meat with the Heinz 57, and Mustard. Mix all the dry goods together and then add the Meat Mixture to that. Blend well. Place in bowl in Refrigerator for 30 minutes and let rest while heating the grill. From into patties of your desired size and grill!
I really hope that you will give these a try the next time you are going to grill some burgers!!!!
I also wanted to tell you about my friend Natasha's Blog...she does A LOT of wonderful things with coupons....and this girl is and EXTREME Couponer if I've ever seen one! She does a lot of good things with the items that she gets, such as donating them so that others who are less fortunate receive items they need! She has started a blog to help others be as good as she is with coupons. I've learned a lot from her so far and have GREATLY benefited. Like today I went to my local Meijer and had $120.97 worth of grocery items and I walked out of there after only having to pay $26.47!!!! That was after all of my coupons and the Meijer in-store 2 day sale where if I bought certain items in a certain quantity they would give me $5 off INSTANTLY!!!! So, I encourage you to check out her blog if you are coupon user and learn a few tricks from her....like how she went to Target today and had over $100 in product and paid $2...that's right, ONLY $2!!!! She's good!!!! Here is her blog: www.commoncentssaver.blogspot.com Go and check her out!

I Think It's Time For A Give-Away!!!!
UPDATE: So, being the nice person that I am...(I can hear the laughter...you all need to stop) I've decided that I will pick 5 winners and Give-Away all of the these items!!!! Just remember some of you could win more than one if you follow the rules!!!! I will be picking winners tomorrow (Monday June 13th) afternoon!!!!
So, I've been thinking that since I've been gone for so long from blogging that I should do a Give-Away! And with this Give-Away I will let the winners (yes I said winners. As in more than 1 winner!) pick one item of their choice!
Here's what I have to Give-Away:
These are Pampered Chef HELP WHIP CANCER pink zebra items. The first picture is of the 5 choices you have if you win. The second is a picture taken from the Pampered Chef website to better show the selection, and the third is of the High Heel Pink Zebra Striped Cake Server...that I think is absolutely adorable!!! :-) The heel is magnetic and can be removed from the 'shoe'! Too cute! The Pampered Chef comes out with exclusive Pink products in May every year to help with the fight against Cancer. They donate a portion of the sales of each item to the American Cancer Society! I know that it's now June, but I still thought that these would be neat to Give-Away.
The choices are:
1. Pink High Heel Cake Server
2. Pink Paring Knife
3. Pink Zebra Coupon Holder
4. Pink Zebra Micro-Fiber Towel
5. Pink Zebra Ceramic Spreader

Oh How I've Missed Blogging!!!!
My how I've missed typing to all of you and sharing my life and recipes with you all. A lot has happened in the week or so since I've last posted. I've come to realize how truly blessed I am, and that God is a compassionate and gracious God! I've known this all of my life, but sometimes there are circumstances that make you know this more than others.
I've learned a lot about myself in the past 2 weeks, and I'm happy to report that it's all good! I can't go into detail of all that's happened in the past few weeks...those close to me know the situation. All that I ask is that you lift us up in your prayers and ask for the Lord's guidance, leading and ever abiding love during this part of our Christian journey. I will say that it's AMAZING to see God work in my life and use my talents for His purposes!
I haven't shared any recipes with you lately so I thought that I should share one with you. This is one that my Gramma gave to my Mom recently. I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound yummy!
RHUBARB CAKE
INGREDIENTS:
6 C. Rhubarb; chopped
1 C. Sugar
3 oz. Strawberry Jello
1 White or Yellow Cake Mix
1 C. Water
Preheat oven to 350. Mix the Rhubarb, Sugar and Dry Jello together. Place in bottom of 9x13 pan. Mix cake mix with Water and spread over Rhubarb mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Let cool. Keep refrigerated.
I can't wait to try this one out!
