Garden Fresh Pasta

Lunch Recipe from my garden…..lets call it Garden Fresh Pasta


So I made this recipe one day for lunch when I having an ick kind of day. I headed out to the garden to see what I had ready to go. Tomatoes, basil, onions……

So I boiled up a single serving of whole wheat pasta, just al dente, and after draining, plopped into a bowl and drizzled with some EVOO and sprinkled with S&P.

I then chopped up some fresh Roma tomatoes, gave some basil a quick Chiffonade*, and finely diced up some red onion. Dumping all the beautiful fresh veggies on top of the pasta I have it a quick toss. Then, because everything is better with a bit of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, I grated a bit on top, the end result…….mmmmmmm Delish!




*Chiffonade (French pronunciation: [ʃi.fɔ.nad]) is a cooking technique in which herbs or leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and basil) are cut into long, thin strips. This is generally accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then cutting across the rolled leaves with a sharp knife, producing fine ribbons.

The Wild Women of my life

What happens when 16 women from different states, backgrounds, and generations come together in an amazing house for one long weekend? One Wild Weekend! I think any woman would be excited to have a weekend away. From schedules, requirements, stress, and laundry:) I look forward to this week almost as much as I look forward to date night with my Superman. This annual trip for me came about when my friend Cindy told me I was going with her. This is Cindy and her loving husband Tim: Isn't she just beautiful? Since, this is my blog, and Cindy isn't here to dispute it, here is how I remember the story's beginning. Cindy is my friend and was my girl scout co-leader. We met at an info meeting for scouts and I asked her to help me out with the troop. Because I am a bit of a control freak, I wanted a co-leader to be a fun lady who would have a blast with the girls, and do what I needed done. Which was basically show up and go on fun trips with us. Cindy is...

Baby laughing!! Short teaser

I have been wanting to blog about becoming an empty nester for almost a year. I want to not only create a place for me to look back on to see what we did in the early years of our newly found freedom, but also to encourage other women who are in the same nest I am(or soon will be) "I'll have so much more time"    "How will I ever fill my days without my girls here?"    "Will my superman and I get bored with one another?" I truly thought I would have more time!!  2016 was a heck of a year for our family from beginning to end! I hope to share so much with you in my posts from fun adventures we took, crafts we did, restaurants we tried, heartache we endured, and how to make to most of life on a daily basis.  One thing I have found to be true...I don't miss all the laundry
