When I spent the night at my parent’s house, I found my Mom’s gratitude journal.

This was 1998.  I am so grateful my mother was a thoughtful person. I am still getting lessons from her from beyond.

Favorite Pasta Recipes

Favorite Pasta Recipes from Shutterbean.com!

I’m currently brainstorming new recipes. Anything you’re looking for that I can help you with?

Right now I wanna make a pasta dish with a ton of vegetables.  One that I can give my family but when I serve myself a portion, it’s light on the pasta and dense in the vegetable department.  Leftovers that reheat well are a huge plus! If you’ve got one that you’re loving right now, shoot it over my way. I’m all ears.

I figured it’s best to look back and see what I’ve done/LOVED so I may have a template for another game changer.  Here are some of my Favorite Pasta recipes!

Happy Monday, friends!

Are we ready to get our heads in the game?! It’s FEBRUARY. Let’s do this.

This weekend I had a sleepover at my Dad’s house and went out to dinner with him and my bro + sis. We had a good time!  Cooper ended up with a cold and a high temperature, so we’ve been taking care of him while he’s resting.  Send good healing thoughts!

I had some time yesterday so I did a meal prep. This is what I am starting the week with:
