Caprese Tortellini Pasta Salad I was sick yesterday, so instead of meatless Monday, we’re having meatless Tuesday today for dinner with this light and refreshing Caprese Tortellini Pasta Salad.

All tied together with a balsamic… Continue reading Caprese Tortellini Pasta Salad
Claim Jumper’s BBQ Chicken Salad I love, love, love two things at Claim Jumper. Their chicken tortilla soup, which I have yet to try to duplicate, and this salad.
