Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Super Pasta Salad

1 pkg Tri-colored Rotini, cooked, drained
2 large carrots, peeled, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 large cucumber, peeled, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1-2 tomatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine above ingredients in a large bowl.  Just prior to serving, pour ranch dressing generously over it, and sprinkle Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Ranch Dip dry mix generously on top of that, then stir to coat evenly.  Add more ranch dressing or Fiesta Ranch Dip dry mix to taste.  (I would use an entire small bottle of ranch dressing, and probably half to three-quarters of a large bottle; and then half to three-quarters of a Fiesta Ranch Dip mix packet.)
