Pasta Arrabbiata with Carrot Noodles
Remember how I used to blog? Yea me too. I have been terrible about blogging lately. Not because I haven’t created lots of tasty treats but I feel like I really haven’t had much to say. Do you ever have that? Either way, I am super excited to be sharing this post today because it has to do with the amazing spiralizer I told you about with my Zoodles post. I was invited by Tuttorosso Tomatoes to share a recipes for their “Inspiralize the Spring” promotion. You can find all the details here, but I will go ahead and tell you what it is all about anyways.. 😉 During the…

Zesty Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ok, so again this being grown up thing? When did this happen? The getting up and going to work thing is overrated. Yea yea, money is nice…but man, if I could just get an extra hour of sleep everyday that would be saaawweeet! To add the grownupness…Patrick and I stumbled across a house that we like and decided to go look at it. One of those things that we drive by it every day to work and decided “what the heck” why not go and check it out just for fun? Talk about your all time backfires. Guess who the dumb girl is that really likes this house is even…

Chicken Pepper Pasta
Hello everyone! I have been MIA this week. Been feeling slightly under the weather and I missed 2 days of work this week which has made the rest of my week pretty hectic during the day. You know whenever you miss a few days of something you just feel out of sorts? That is how I feel this week. I am sure I will get back up to speed, but it is the catching up that is the brutal part. HOWEVER! In the coming weeks I have some really exciting news to share with all of you. I don’t mean to hold you all in suspense, but I just wanted…

Pesto Shrimp Pasta
Hello there! I trust you had a fabulous weekend. My weekend was pretty good. Definitely went to a Mac and Cheese tasting with some of my friends, haha. Mac and Cheese tasting you say?? Believe me this was the best idea they could have ever had. Each person that came to the tasting brought their own Mac and Cheese dish. They were numbered and then we all tried the dishes and cast our votes. My Mac and Cheese came in 2nd place, woot woot! haha, I have to say it was pretty fun and all the different Mac and Cheeses?! Can we say food coma? We had a blast chatting…

Garden Pasta Salad
Congrats Tino!! He just bought himself a brand new 2011 Hyundai Sonata, fully loaded SE 2.0T, and traded in his Ford Explorer. His exploder as we called it! He is a hard core Ford guy so I have to say I was very shocked when he decided on the Sonata, but the car is really beautiful and certainly is going to get him better gas mileage than the exploder. Although, I know he will miss his big car…but I am SO proud of him for buying his first *new* car (you know how that goes, owning lots of cars in your lifetime but never a *new* car)! In spirit of…

So a big thanks for featuring my recipe and another congrats for making it look so awesome! 😀 To all of you hummus haters out there…I don’t get you. I really don’t. I love hummus! Put it on a pita, put it on veggies, put it on chips, use it as spread for a sandwich….I lik’em all! Since I have been on the detox my snack in the afternoon is some veggies with hummus (which is…

Spicy Pasta
It is Wednesday and today is my work Holiday party…so you know what that means right?! HALF DAY! I feel like I am back in elementary school where I am getting an early dismissal. It is always nice to get a break from the office 🙂 I finally got the cold weather I have been praying for but the snow is still lacking…we got a dusting of snow earlier this week but nothing you can play in haha. Send your positive foodie vibes my way for some snow…I am desperate! I love spicy food. Any kind of spicy food, I will definitely reach for it! Every time I make pasta…

Success! Homemade Ravioli
Yes! I did it! I finally made the leap and made my very own homemade pasta! I have always heard how people say that pasta made from scratch is so much better than store bought. However, I was never brave enough or frankly had enough time to make homemade pasta. Well, this weekend while I was sick and curled up in my blanket reading my book (Blood Men), that I actually finished this weekend – it is amazing how much reading you can get done if you sit still for a while, I decided that I was going to attack my fear and just do it…MAKE THE PASTA! Pasta is…

Broccoli Pasta
I have been in the mood for pasta lately. Do you ever get in moods like that? Sometimes I go through these phases where all I want is pasta. Honestly, there are SO many different meals you can make with pasta! It is so versatile! You can make it vegetarian or with meat, cold or hot, and there are so many different varieties! So, this dish below was just a dish that I came up with from the ingredients I have in my refrigerator. It was simple and easy and always the best part, pretty healthy as well! Ingredients for Broccoli Pasta: Angel Hair pasta 1 Broccoli head 1 Zucchini…
