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.

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤

Happy Mardi Gras! We enjoyed a delicious Cajun inspired meal tonight at home. We started with Shrimp and Grits and ended with Bananas Foster to share. We may not live in Louisiana anymore but we can still celebrate #FatTuesday ! Here's hoping the parades will be back next year. 📿❤ #mardigras2020 #bananasfoster #whatsfordinner #mardigras

It's one of those days...furnance went out (but was fixed), kids took over my bed, husband had to leave early for work, dog barked non stop, and it's a snow day... again. But the sun is shining, the kids are happy, and I'm stocked up on coffee and new books. So it's not so bad after all. #staypositive
