Tremendous thanks to Walmart+ for sponsoring this post.
Summer is almost here, and I’m ready for some outdoor grilling. Who can resist the tempting aromas of traditional favorites such as hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, and corn on the cob?
If you’re looking to add something new to your menu, this recipe was one of my mom’s, and it is delicious and perfect as a side dish, but the stars and stripes make it especially fun to serve for Memorial Day weekend or the 4th of July.
As always, I ordered all my groceries using my Walmart+ membership and had them delivered right to my door for free. It’s so convenient, and with my membership, I get free grocery delivery (with a $35 minimum, restrictions apply).
Also, we’ll stay in our RV for a few days next weekend, and we’re taking Colt and Claire, so I ordered a few things I know they’ll love to eat. S’mores are a must!
Stars & Stripes Pasta Salad
6 oz. cheddar cheese
6 oz. Monterey Jack cheese
4 oz. ham
8 oz. rotini or other pasta cooked according to the package directions
3/4 green pepper chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup light olive oil
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
Tomato wedges
1 small aluminum star-shaped cookie cutter
Cut cheese into star shapes with a cookie cutter. Cut ham in 1/2 inch strips for stripes. Set aside 6 to 8 pieces for garnish. Chop the remaining cheese and meat into 1/4-inch dice. Mix with pasta, green pepper, tomato, and onion. In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, and seasonings. Add to pasta mixture and mix. Top with reserved stars and stripes cutouts from the cheese and ham. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Beauty For the Heart
– Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Colossians 4:6
Truth: Lysa Terkeurst says, A depleted girl can quickly become a defeated girl when she lets emotions dictate her reactions.
Boy, have I learned this the hard way! It’s so easy to snap back when someone says something mean or someone hurts your feelings. I’ve learned it’s best to take a deep breath, rest on it for 24 hours. Let our words be gracious even when someone else’s words are not.
Let your beauty shine from the inside out today!
