What Shall We Make Today?

As promised, today’s offering is my mom’s Crab Pasta Salad.  She didn’t include a picture of hers, and when I went searching, I couldn’t find one with all the same ingredients.

Crab Pasta Salad

Ingredients

8 ounces cooked and drained pasta (any type: spirals, shells, macaroni)

8 ounces imitation crab meat

1 cup frozen peas thawed

1 cup fresh broccoli

½ cup chopped green pepper

1/3 cup chopped red pepper

¼ cup sliced green onion

2 stalks celery chopped small

¾ cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup Italian salad dressing

3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the pasta, crab meat, peas, broccoli, green and red peppers and onion.  In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, salad dressing, and Parmesan cheese.  Pour over pasta mixture and toss to coat.  Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Enjoy!

        1. we rarely go out (except like fast food when we grocery shop) so when we do go to a nice restaurant we often “make a server’s night” by leaving a huge tip. one Christmas, we gave a great waitress $50. she ran out to our truck as we were leaving to thank us.

              1. I put it in a regular bird feeder

                Something like this so they can lick it

                And so they don’t get stuck.

                In winter I toss it in piles on the floor so they all get some.

                I get the Menards 40 pound bag regular because of the price.

                My neighbor puts out chicken feed corn

              2. awesome…we will have to try that this winter!
                there was a NY farmer who sold bags of field corn (cobs) –$6 a bag and you had to fill the bags. the first year we put out 15 bags–not all at once mind you, but we saw the raccoons and the squirrels dragging off cobs all day long so when the deer showed up there was hardly any left…lol
                now we put out corn/apple blocks–and yeah they have to lick it so even if other animals show up, they can’t cart it off
