My pal sunshine is back in San Diego and the weather has been restored to its usual summer-like glory.  Living here you do really appreciate the few rainy days we have, but if I really liked rain all that much I wouldn’t have moved to sunshine paradise!

Besides, I need to keep this tan up at least until my super 30th birthday vacation to Mexico in a week!!!!!!!

Chicken Tortellini Salad

I made a summery dish today to kick off this perfect weekend. One of our all time favorites, tortellini salad. It is so lemony and is packed with tons of my favorite flavors. 

What I love most about this recipe is that I can make a big batch and it saves so well. In fact, it gets better the longer the flavors have to meld together in the fridge. 

Make a bowlful in the morning and enjoy it for dinner that night. There’s plenty leftover for lunch the next day. Packs and travels well! Definitely keep this chicken tortellini salad in mind the next time you’re headed to a potluck.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I’ve seen all kinds of great posts about perfect fall weather by my friends all around the country on facebook and twitter, so its looking like it mother nature is cooperating for all! Cheers!
