Iced Tea
We’ve been having wonderful weather, so I’ve been making our favorite summer drink. I make iced tea like this, except I use only 1/2 cup sugar. Lately I’ve been using Earl Grey tea, but any kind of tea will work—black, green or herbal. And I slice a lemon into each pitcher before I chill. My son sometimes mixed his half and half with whatever juice we have on hand.
Pasta Salads
We love them. Today I made Darlene’s Tuna Salad, and a few days ago, I threw together a grilled chicken pasta salad with honey mustard dressing. Sorry, no recipe for that because I made it up as I went along with whatever we had on hand. I used tri-colored spirals, grilled chicken cubes, diced celery, shredded carrots, onions and frozen peas, all tossed together with a bottle of honey mustard dressing.
What is your favorite pasta salad? Do you have a recipe? A link?

I'm going to try to make iced tea that way. In the summer I make sun tea with bags but I do like ice tea every once in a while in the winter, so I'll try this methodology!
Here's a link to one of my favorite pasta salads. (There's also a link to another of my favorite pasta salads in the post!)
Now I'm off to check out Darlene's Tuna Pasta Salad!
I love sweet tea, but I haven't made it recently. I had a cup of tangerine zinger tea recently and I think it would make a fabulous iced tea. I usually throw pasta salads together w/o a recipe. Your grilled chicken pasta sounds great; will have to try it.
