Inspired Recipes from the Q Kitchen: Barbecue Chicken Layered Pasta Salad

It’s officially the first weekend of summer! To us, that means taking out our favorite summery melamine collections and hosting a dinner party outdoors.

We’re inspired by Sandy from Reluctant Entertainer, who set up this charming tablescape on the patio of her new central Oregon home with our Royal Lapis dinnerware.

“Creating extra spaces for inviting people over in the summer is exactly how we envisioned using our home. Hospitality is important to us, and we feel blessed that we get to share it with others,” Sandy says.

We love everything about the Royal Lapis collection. The dreamy collage of elegant blue and white patterns of Royal Lapis reminds us of ocean waves and clear skies — the perfect summer day.

Recreate Sandy’s tablesetting and whip up this delicious Barbecue Chicken Layered Pasta Salad — an easy recipe to add to any summer menu. Check out Reluctant Entertainer’s full post here.
