Happy Labor Day friends!
I noticed on my Facebook feed today that not many people knew what Labor Day was for. In fact most mistakenly thought it was a military holiday. Here is some info from Wikipedia:
 Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
So Labor Day is actually a well deserved day off for hardworking Americans. Obviously, not everyone got the day off, but you all do deserve it and I thank each and every one of you who work hard to make our country what it is today.  
Today I am sharing a perfect pasta salad for your Labor Day cookouts.
This Deviled Egg Macaroni Pasta Salad includes boiled eggs, pickled onions, cooked pasta, and all the makings of a creamy chilled salad. I found this recipe in an issue of Better Home and Gardens and just had to share. 

Ingredients:

Makes 8-10 servings
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 8 oz large elbow macaroni pasta
  • 10 hard cooked eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet pickle {relish}
  • salt/pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan combine onion, vinegar, and sugar. 
  2. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, cook macaroni according to package directions.
  5. Drain then rinse with cold water and set aside.
  6. Coarsely chop 2 eggs; set aside.
  7. Halve remaining eggs; separate yolks from whites. 
  8. Coarsely chop egg whites; set aside. 
  9. For dressing: place yolks in a bowl and mash. 
  10. Add mayonnaise, mustard, and onion mixture. Stir in smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper. Set aside. 
  11. In a large bowl combine egg whites, pickles, macaroni, and dressing. Top with reserved eggs.
  12. Optional: top with a sprinkle of paprika. 
  13. Chill until ready to serve.

Everyone keeps asking if we are settled yet. Nope. Still sorting, unpacking,  donating, rearranging, organizing, and eating a cookie every now and then.
