Veggie Pasta Salad


I can only say how many times that my husband and I are trying to watch what we eat!  For fear of really boring you, I will steer away from that line of thought today. :)

Instead, I will say that we have been focusing on quick meals.  This meal is definitely that... especially if you have another "chopper" in the kitchen. :)  My husband and I agreed that it is a really nice, light tasting pasta, but it needs a "little something". Because we were both really hungry, we didn't bother trying to figure it out.  Let me know what you would do to give it a little "mmmff".  

So for a quick (and healthy ;) meal, give it a try.  Don't forget to comment on how to make it better.  I love suggestions!!! :)
