Hope everyone had a long, fantastic weekend. Mine was a little bit of a mixed bag — lots of fun, but I broke my freaking YOGA 3. I’ve never before cracked a screen on any electronic device (knock on wood that I don’t break anything else now!!), including when I accidentally threw my old Dell (what I’m currently on) across the room and hit our coat rack treadmill.
How’d I do it? It fell, closed a whopping 5 inches to the floor. And we’re not talking a little baby crack, the screen totally shattered. All because I wanted to watch Pretty Little Liars in the bathtub. Have you seen that show? I know in my heart that I’m a 26 year old woman and I should probably just say “No thanks” to anything that airs on ABC Family, but I just can’t stay away. It’s SO good — no spoilers please! I just barely started season 4 and it’s basically like a PG version of Desperate Housewives aka some of the best trash I’ve ever watched.
After a weekend of many beers, less-than-clean eats, and trashy, trashy TV, I need some greenery in my life. But still some carbs, because I did just break a $1600 laptop and those noodles hold the key to happiness. Also, pesto. Pesto holds the key to happiness — why am I not eating it every day of my life? This recipe was inspired by one I saw on Pinch of Yum. I’ve made it a handful of times now and I just love having crunchy green veggies the same shape/size as the noodles — then it’s impossible to pick out the noodles as you’re eating, basically forcing you to eat tasty veggies.

I could eat this entire bowl — no joke! There’s something about a pesto pasta loaded with veggies and parmesan. This looks amazing!
UGH total bummer about the laptop. I have broken screens of things before and it is never fun. This pasta salad is so gloriously green!! I love it.
Love all of the vegetables in this! Looks so tasty.
Haha, I always want to throw my computer across the room, but I never get up the courage! That sucks that you cracked the screen of the one you do like though 🙁 I’m so sorry! We had a very uneventful 4th of July, but we did light some sparklers and eat pizza!
I LOVE pesto pastas and this one looks so good! I love the little noodles 🙂
