The way to my heart? Vegetables and greens.
I know, I’m a rare bird.
The way to my husband’s heart is pasta.
Preferably creamy pasta.
I was thumbing through my copy of Back Pocket Pasta
This pasta comes together so fast with the simplest ingredients. Plus it marries our two loves together. Greens and creamy pasta. Match made in heaven, I say!
Put this one in the TO DO list for a quick weeknight supper. Trust!
Hi Monday Friends!
This weekend was packed! I took a bread making class with my sister. Cooper had travel baseball. We had a family dinner. I didn’t catch up on sleep. In fact, I woke up earlier this weekend than I do on weekdays. My kitchen is a mess and we have a bunch of unpacking to do.
It’s Monday morning and I am sitting here typing this up instead of my Sunday night ritual. It’s cool. I know that mapping out my week with my intentions will help get my head in the game. So, here we are. Me typing them up on the internet to hold myself accountable. Cuz there’s not a chance my brain is going to abandon this ritual right now. The accountability of the internet holds me to my actions. Here are my Intentions for the Week:
Last Week’s Intentions:
Don’t forget to drink water and center yourself this week. Feeling stuck? Write down your own Intentions for the week in your bullet journal.
Have a great week. I’m rooting for you!

Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 38
This week we had guests! Casey’s cousin Josh and my brother-in-law James spent the night with us.
I made baked spaghetti and salad.
James brought me this gigantic box of produce from his garden. I put it to work!
Made fresh tortilla chips. They’re so easy and addictive.
The start of roasted tomato salsa.
Pan roasted shishito peppers!
Travel baseball! Up early watching games.
You wouldn’t believe the sound that came from this hot tub.
Sometimes I take a look at the Recipes section of my website for meal inspiration and to see how far my photography has come since I started my blog in 2007. A lot has changed over the years!
I went back into my archives and saw these Crispy Italian Fries.
HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THEM??!
I was on such a good streak of making them 9 years ago and then something happened. I forgot about them. Maybe it was my crispy potatoes or my incessant love for tater tots that made me forget about them? I’m not letting that happen again.
Also, I am a much better photographer 9 years later so here we are.
DOES THIS ENTICE YOU OR WHAT??!
Big shout out to crispy cheese fans!
These Italian Fries are something I am going to pull out for company because they are definitely a crowd pleaser. That and the fact that my child doesn’t really like melted cheese (WHO IS HE?!!) or baked fries.
Needless to say, my husband and I snarfed down this whole tray and a half. I mean, there were leftovers but I ate those too. Bottom line: between two of us, this recipe lasted less than 24 hours at my house.
Make them. You’ll see why. They’re impressive.
Happy Monday!
We spent the weekend away for travel baseball. It was fun and exhausting. I have some sleep to catch up on! We didn’t get the regular Sunday so we’ll see how this week starts. You know you’re routine is effective when you take it away and things fall apart! Time to get my head back in the game by spelling out my Intentions for the Week:
every day and track steps
Don’t forget to write down your own Intentions for the Week. It helps hold you accountable!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 37
We ended the week with some good clouds! There were some pink sunrises too!
You know how much I love clouds.
Wine + a movie with my friend Heather. We saw McQueen. It was full of eye candy and dark but good!
Cat bowl on my kitchen desk.
Look at this beauty!
Mac n’ cheese for One Potato this week.
