Best Ever Macaroni Salad

This is literally the Best Ever Macaroni Salad. Perfect for any barbecue this spring and summer. It’s easy to make and tastes delicious!

Not sure why, but I have been craving macaroni salad. I’ve never really been a huge fan of it but for some reason, it sounded delicious the other day and we had all of the ingredients I needed.

I used the random noodles I had left in the cupboard so really you can use any noodles you have. Also, I won’t lie I put in all the ingredients that I have been craving lately. I guess you truly have to make what sounds good to you at the moment.

I have been feeling nauseous lately again, and I don’t know why?! I thought I was past the morning sickness stage of pregnancy now that I am in my third trimester.

Apparently it can come back whenever it wants to though. Not to mention the heartburn, what do you guys do to get rid of the heartburn? Milk is the only thing that works for me these days!

Anyways, Matt and I thought this turned out really great! Give it a try!
