Regretfully, Mr. Firefighter forgot to ask Mrs. Firefighter for her legendary peanut butter cake. When I asked Mrs. Firefighter for the recipe at the fish fry last evening, she said she’ll try to remember but she’s not too good at remembering things like that.

Getting desperate enough to try Martha’s elaborate recipe.
Om nom nom.
MJ’s Pasta Salad
It’s colorful, delicious and keeps well.
This makes a lot, and it’s even better the next day. By the 3rd day, the tomatoes get a little mushy, so what I do is divide the salad into 2-3 different containers, then just add the grape or diced tomatoes to each container when we are ready to eat it. It’s good for up to a week in the refrigerator IF you don’t drown it in dressing.
2 boxes of multi color pasta
2 Green peppers diced
2 red peppers diced
2 yellow peppers diced
2 batches of green onions diced
5 or more stalks of celery hearts diced
1/4 C diced onion(Vidalia preferably)
2 small jars of Pimentos
2 jars of marinated Artichoke hearts
1 large can of Hearts of Palm
1 small jar of pitted green olives
1 can of whole pitted black olives
2-3 tomatoes diced or 1-2 packages of grape tomatoes
Sea Salt
Olive Oil
Veg. Oil
Make your dressing:
Mix up 2 packages of Good Seasons brand Italian Dressing( I use half olive oil and half Crisco oil and balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar.)You can Use regular, mild or zesty Italian, your choice. I prefer the regular.
Boil water for pasta, add 2tsp. of sea salt to the water. Boil the pasta about 2 minutes less than it says on the package. It needs to be al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water in colander. Let is sit and drain well for 15 minutes or so.
Put WELL drained pasta in large bowl. Dump all of the above ingredients into bowl filled with pasta. Pour on dressing. Don’t go overboard, you can always add more. Keep tasting for a couple of hours. Then add sea Salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
Thank you for all you do. I appreciate all of your hard work organizing these recipes. Just WOW!
This has been in our family for many many years. OMG I can remember it from over 30 years ago ~!!!!!!!!

This tastes *just* like steak and gravy. OMG my mouth is watering for it again. LOL.
I double or triple the mushroom soup and evaporated milk because I like a LOT of gravy.
There isnt a lot if you use what the recipe calls for.
Make sure to fix some baked , mashed or fried taters with it.
