I am looking for some new good recipes for summer cookouts, camping, and get togethers. Good, quick and easy. And as less expensive as possible. I have two small children ages 2 and 6. they are good eaters but I am always looking for new good recipes that there is at least one item my children would eat.

A great recipe for a get together is tortellini salad. I have the recipe posted on my blog at (http://theessenceofwomanhood.blogspot.com/) It's just like a common pasta salad except using cheese tortellini instead of pasta. You can add any vegetables, beans, or meats that you like. I usually add small salad shrimp. The kind that are precooked and come in a 8 ounce package.
To prepare, cook the tortellini according to package directions. Allow to cool while you chop the vegetables. Combine the vegetables and shrimp with the tortellini, dress with your favorite Italian dressing(I make my own) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Done!
This is quite a versatile recipe as you can buy different varieties of tortellini, like spinach or tomato. I have used both, added chunks of salami or cheese, and even cubed leftover chicken. Try using Caesar dressing with the chicken, it's yummy!
