Crispy Cauliflower and Kale Penne
I have a handful for vegetarians in my life and this recipe for Crispy Cauliflower and Kale Penne from my friend Allison’s book The Pasta Friday Cookbook 
If you’re looking for an amazing pasta cookbook to inspire get-togethers, feeding masses and EATING pasta and amazing salads, you should totally check out The Pasta Friday Cookbook !
This recipe provides all of the things I love in a pasta dish:
- GREENS (kale!)
- VEGETABLES (crispy cauliflower bits!)
- fun things like walnuts & lemon zest
- cheese
It’s a treat for your tastebuds!
Also really good if you’re in a family like mine where YOU are the one who hogs all of the vegetables in the pasta dish.
That would be me. I like more vegetables than pasta. What can I say?
If I didn’t have to share, I’d probably half the penne in the recipe and go for allllllllll the vegetables.
That’s just me. That’s my adventure! You’re welcome to choose your own.
Also, please watch this video of Oprah discussing how awesome cauliflower is the new thing.

So good, right?
This recipe provides BOTH. I bet Oprah would approve.
Intentions for the Week
Happy Monday, friends!
We are now on week 41 of 2019.
Here’s what My Everyday Life Week 41 looked like last year.
This weekend we had baseball tournament. It was nice to spend time away from home with friends! Cooper had a chance to go swimming with his teammates and play football at our hotel. I filled up 4 pages of my sketchbook with coloring club drawings on the bleachers.
We lost two games and won one. I enjoyed spending time with my boys.
Now the LAUNDRY PILE UP BEGINS as we start unpacking. We have another family trip coming up again so we’ll have to pack again! Lots to do before then. It’s time for me to spend some time jotting down my Intentions for the Week.
My Everyday LIfe: Week 40
Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 40
Cooper turned 11 this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???
He’s lucky he gets to celebrate his birthday at school! I make treats for him to bring.
I always use my grandma’s muffin tin when I’m making cupcakes and that makes me so happy.
I bet she would be stoked I still have it!
His favorite are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting.
I add sprinkles to cover up my tired frosting skills.
He is worth the effort. His birthday is a grief trigger for me because I wish my Mom was around to see him grow up. She only got to be with him until 9. I am thankful it was that long though. He knows her and remembers her and says things she used to say and I am so grateful for that. It still hurts.

Currently September 2019
Currently September 2019
September threw us back into our school routine! I was looking forward to it after the summer, but I always forget how many school events make September so jammed packed for us when we get back. Baseball started again too so we are staying busy around here. This month was filled with friends, art, back to school shopping and adventure. That’s my favorite kind of month!
It’s fun to go back into the past and see what was going on. Here’s Currently September 2018, 2017, and 2016! This is my 4th year doing this journaling practice. I am grateful for the opportunity to look back and see the person I’ve become.
Inside my Currently Workbook! My creative project for the year.
Let’s reflect on the month.
