Sundays are another busy day in our household. This Sunday especially with getting a few things put together for Labor Day tomorrow. A nice simple pasta salad is a great to go with a BBQ. I find that pasta salad is great for kids because generally all kids love pasta and you can load it up with their favorite veggies
Bow-tie pasta
1 16 oz box bow-tie pasta (we use whole wheat) cooked according to package, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 package of pepperoni cut into 4ths
1 bottle Italian dressing (we like the 365 organic)
1 med red bell pepper chopped
About a cup full of shelled edamame
1 can sliced black olives (I call this optional because I am the only one in the house who wont eat them)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved.
1 cup chopped broccoli
in a large bowl add cooked, drained and rinsed pasta followed by dressing & Parmesan cheese and mix well, then add remaining ingredients and toss well. Chill for about an hour and serve.

Friday Feature (Weelicious)
Fridays I will be Featuring other blogs, websites & recipes that I have tried. If you have a recipe that you would like me to test out and review for you or have a blog related to cooking or parenting and would like to be featured please contact me at Kitchenfullofkids@yahoo.com
Weelicious hands down is one of my favorite sites to browse when I am feeling uninspired by my own recipes. I have tried several different recipes and I have been thrilled with each and every one. Today I tried one that I haven't tried before and I was really shocked at how much I liked them. The kids got awfully excited when they got home from school and they see a container of mini muffins waiting for them on the table. Today we tired out her Banana Wee-eat Germ muffins I had a few spotted bananas that needed to get used today and as much as I love my Great Aunts Banana Bread recipe I wanted something a bit healthier this was Perfect. I used my Rachel Ray mini muffin tins which are likely the most used piece of cook wear in the house. The wheat germ gives the muffins a nice hearty taste and after eating a few where quite filling. These muffins would be great for a breakfast on the go or a lunch treat for the kids. All 4 of my daughters loved them and trust me anything that makes all 4 girls happy makes this mama very very happy!!
