I'm Going to Squash You!

Who loves spaghetti??? I made the best meatballs the other day. They were made with home grown basil, too! They were so easy and quick to make. Those things are great when I have a 7 month old baby wanting to "run" around the house. 

On top of the noodles and meatballs, I used Dave's gourmet pasta sauce. You may not believe me, but I've never had butternut squash before (in any form). I tried the butternut squash sauce. It was so good and sweet! Lars even tried some, and he said "mmmmmmmm". His exact words (even though he says that to most things). 

This meal lasted us 3 days! Another plus! Jason loves spaghetti, so he doesn't mind when it lasts a while or I make it often.

How often do you have spaghetti? What's your favorite meal to make?

Fantastic Friday!!

I was pretty good today. I had my normal breakfast, snacks and lunch today!! Yay for me. Work went by like a breeze. It was kind of scary, because I was expecting something really bad to happen right before I left. I'm so happy it didn't. Everything went as planned, which is pretty strange for being a Friday. Fridays are our busiest day of the week. I'm glad it went smoothly.

Because of this, when I got home, I was in a GREAT mood!! I was jumping around, singing and acting all crazy (my normal self). Jason was hungry, so I made dinner. I made ravioli with cooked chicken and pasta sauce. For the ravioli, I used Rising Moons Organics spinach Florentine. The pasta sauce was Dave's Gourmet Red Heirloom.

The ravioli was pretty slippery. I always have something under my plate when I eat dinner (on the couch), and one ravioli slipped off my plate and landed on the ground leaving a trail of sauce everywhere. It's ok, I'm use to being messy! The sauce was a little watery, but the taste was great. It had a little kick to it. I don't like ultra spicy foods, but this was really good. The pasta, sauce and chicken made a really good combination.

the final product...

Jason and I had some errands to make this evening. Afterwards, I was in the mood for ice cream. I happened to have coupon for a free scoop. So, I enjoyed 2 scoops of ice cream (in a sundae) and Jason enjoyed his pint (not the whole thing) of peanut butter, chocolate ice cream. It is really good ice cream. I think mine was better, though. The scoops I got were: snickers and fudge brownie. What a treat. I still did pretty good today.

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday (it's actually Sunday, but we're celebrating tomorrow). I'm making him dinner and dessert. I can't wait for him to try it! I'll post tomorrow what I'm making him. I may have a surprise tomorrow to post about?? Can anyone guess what it is?
