I love salads that are simple to make, and something that the kids love! This Acini Di Pepe Salad is a family tradition to make around the holidays. We actually call it “Frog-Eye Salad” because of the round pasta. I was going to post this recipe sooner, but I had so many great recipes I’ve wanted to share with you over the past month. I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe!

Hi, Lisa!
My name is Courtney, and I’m stopping in by way of the Bloggy Moms Facebook hop. I just “liked” your FB page, too, Since money doesn’t grow on trees (but, man, I sure wish it would!), your blog name immediately caught my attention. I blog at The Brown Girl with Long Hair (http://www.thebrowngirlwithlonghair.com/), which is a lifestyle blog — I dabble in everything from kids, motherhood, organization, shopping, fashion, and being an NFL football wife. Would love for you to stop by when you can! Have an awesome weekend.
Thanks for visiting my site! I’m looking forward to reading more on your blog. I’m following you back now!
