This meal looked so good that when I first read it I went out and bought the stuff I needed to make it that night. I forgot about the penne pasta (actually didn’t but thought I had it at home) so we substituted it with egg noodles. The kids really enjoyed it, older three argued over who would get seconds. I actually got ALL to eat the salad. Woo hoo! Thanks for sharing this one with us.
I’m so glad you guys liked it! It’s one our favorites during the summer.
