I’m not a fan of mayo so I’ve always been one to miss out on summer side dishes like pasta salad and potato salad. It’s just one of those things I’ve come to accept and don’t worry too much about anymore. But, the other day my husband and I were out to lunch and he ordered a caprese pasta salad. Y’all have to understand that anything with mozzarella and tomatoes is my default choice at a restaurant. So I knew I had to try it. Luckily this particular blend was made without mayo and after only one bite I knew I had to recreate it and see if I could make a pasta salad dish I’d actually enjoy!

Snacking is my favorite meal of the day. I tend to eat a lot of smaller meals throughout the day, so I like to think of myself as a bit of a pro when it comes to snack recipes. I love the typical fruit or even a handful of chips, but preparing a quick snack is even better. The best part about most snacks that take a few minutes of prep work is that they’re usually the best recipes to keep on hand for party appetizers too. These goat cheese stuffed peppers are a versatile little recipe that can serve as a great snack or appetizer.
