Make aheads

Today I am starting the make-aheads.  Bean, corn, and couscous salad,  that is first on the list. I have to keep this away from Mike, it's his favorite. Check back, I will be adding to this post most of the day.  Pasta salad is next.

I just remembered I added something new to this couscous salad today; from Trader Joe's: savory sun-dried tomato pesto.  It changed the recipe and it is even better now.  If you want the recipe, just email me or leave a comment.  (I don't get many comments by the way.) WaaaaWaaaa.

In between dishes I am watching REIGN on Netflix.  Alyssa and I are obsessed with this series about Mary Queen of Scots and her royal court of rascals.
                                             

Pasta salad with enhancements. I use cellentani pasta; it stands up  and stays perky for days in a cold salad.
