    Happy 4th of July to my American peeps! I hope y'all are enjoying a ton of delicious food with your family and friends.

    We are heading over to the in-law's house for a BBQ with all of the grandparents and kiddos. This will be the first year that the G-baby will really get to see the fireworks, and I am excited to see how she reacts.

    She is a bit of a daredevil so I think she will be OK with them.

    Of course, when the whole family gets together, we all bring dishes to share.

    I usually bring my Deviled Egg Potato Salad, Farmer's Market Potato Salad, Loaded Baked Potato Salad, Classic Macaroni Salad, Kitchen Sink Macaroni Salad, or Elote (Mexican Street Corn) Pasta Salad.

     
    But this year I wanted to try something different. 
     I tried to think of something that we would all like. Something that I could mash up with potato salad and make it uber yummy.

    That was when I thought about roasted jalapenos.

    During the summer, when we are grilling nearly every day, we are always roasting jalapenos. We love them on our burgers, with our steak, with....well, we love them with just about everything.

    So I thought why not incorporate them into a potato or pasta salad? Right? It seemed only logical.

    Kevin called while I was making the first batch. I told him what I was making and he said to make sure to save some for him.

    Did he think I was going to eat the whole batch by myself?

    Sheesh!

    I should have hidden it and when he got home and when he asked me where it just said "Oops".

    But I was nice and got him a bowlful as soon as he got home. 

    He downed it in record time!

    And went in for more.

    I guess that means he liked it eh?

    That and the fact that he has requested it several times in just the last month.

    I hope the rest of the family feels the same but I know that, if they don't, there won't be anything wasted because Kevin will eat it all by himself!

      Yes they do 🙂 I made it with 8 jalapenos yesterday, and roasted the jalapenos whole before I removed the ribs and seeds. Woohoooo it really had a kick!!

      Yum! Yes, please! I'll take two bowls. 🙂 Jalapeno poppers and pasta are two of my favorites so combining them is genius.
