Kid Friendly Pasta Salad

I am very exited to be able to participate in The Secret Recipe Club every month, and this is my 12th post for the SRC.  This month my secret blog assignment is Sids Sea Palm Cooking, a great blog that originates in Florida. This is one busy lady, she likes to cook entertain, and take pictures.  She does volunteer work a couple days a week at her local Senior Center.  The recipe I choose to feature from her blog was a recipe that she recently prepared at the Senior Center.  She says she " got the inpiration from the Pioneer Woman's show, her Kid Friendly Pasta Salad". Be sure to stop by Sids blog and say HI from Miz Helen!
