Pasta Swapping!!

by

Hello,

I will start off with the obvious that pasta has been and is a huge part of my life.  I have most likely eaten every kind there is! Except the vegetable kind, but that changed today! The day started out pretty normal when out of the blue I got the email blast that I have a 20% offer from Bed Bath and Beyond awaiting me in my account.  Normally I have enough will power to shy away from these sort of notifications but today wasn’t one of them.  I decided today was the day to buy a vegetable spiralizer and make some VEGGETTI for dinner!! I ordered it online and ran to pick it up in store.  I went with a smaller one and not one that takes up much space.  I couldn’t wait to get home and try it.  I had some sausage so I decided to make one of my pasta dishes but just substitute the regular pasta with my awesomely spiralized Zucchini!  Came out great and learned some lessons for next time as well.

Have a great weekend!!!

Mixing It Up!!

Hello!!!

So tonight I wanted to make a standard meatloaf like I normally do with ground beef that I need to use immediately but my husband challenged me to make something “different”.  Ground beef is not one of those things that can exactly be made into a ton of different stuff…theres meatloaf, hamburgers, tacos….what else right?! So I was looking around and came across beef stroganoff.  This is normally prepared with beef chuck but I found some people DID use ground beef instead so I decided to let it inspire me to create tonight’s meal! Also the best part was it only took me ONE POT! 🙂

Good old Memorial Day! The unofficial kick off to summer.  I like to enjoy this day with family and friends, but to also take a minute to thank our vets and appreciate the untilamte sacrifice that they make so that we may be able to have the freedoms we have.  Being the granddaughter of a WWll vet I can appreciate this even more.  Even if you have no ties to a vet or service member  one should still take a minute to reflect on what today really means.  Thank you and god bless to all our troops out there!!

Thankfully it happens to be a beautiful day weather wise because we decided to have an impromptu BBQ at our house.  My husband scolded me not to go too crazy over it…what meee go crazy over a paaaaarty?!?! So I am letting him take the reigns on this one.  I couldn’t help however NOT contributing something so I went with my pasta salad which isn’t a huge fuss and is delicious 🙂

Enjoy your day!!
