WOW! It has been way to long since I have been able to add to this.I hope everyone had a great summer. I have been in Michigan the last few weeks and did not have a computer. So many things have happened since I last wrote. My BIG news is that I am going to be a 3rd grade teacher this year which I am extremely excited about! Orientation starts tomorrow and I can not wait! Anyway while in Michigan I made a few recipes I may eventually add to this but for now I am going to share the first thing I made once I got back to Colorado. This is inspired by my bestest Colynn. She made Jimmy and I something very similar but much more simple when we were visiting her in Ohio for the 4th of July. I was so hungry yesterday and this most definitely filled me up. It is light yet very filling and filled with different flavors and textures. It is perfect for a hot summer day. I hope you enjoy!

***if you would rather use Italian dressing instead of good seasonings you will not need olive oil of the balsamic vinaigrette***
