Oh I am dreaming of warmer months.... it is about 17 F here and while that is better than the -20 F of last week I still miss the boat and summer activites. We have an outdoor concert hall, Ravinia, here in the suburbs that my family and I love to attend at least once or twice a summer. We bring a picnic and spread out blankets and chairs to enjoy the good music, food, wine and company. You can count on the fact that my mom will bring her Pasta and Grape Salad and it is one of my favorites!
In an effort to spice up my lunch this week I thought I would throw this pasta salad into the mix. It just brings a little summer to my cold midwest winter.

1 c. mayo
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

I'm a sucker for anything with blue cheese and the addition of it in this recipe sounds delicious!
This sounds delicious! I love the combination of flavors - sweet and savory!
That looks yummy!!!
I would love to send you some of our "California Winter" to warm things up over there. We need some rain, or anything.
