Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta

Happy Friday folks! It's the middle of my work week and as everyone around me knows, I'm dead tired and want a meal with little to no clean up, that's healthy and nutritious so S and I don't fall off our healthy wagon. Now, pasta is a super easy and relatively healthy option for nights like these, but honestly there's only so many times I can have spaghetti and sauce with garlic bread for dinner. We need something more packed with flavor and more bursting with color (even if it's just a different color than red). Sometimes the easiest solutions are the most fun! Being that I have little to no imagination when it comes to thinking of dinners on the fly, I took to the cabinets and freezer trying to find something to add to our boring pasta routine. What came out of the kitchen took 20 minutes, was super filling, packed with flavors, and pretty darn healthy!

Dinner for two!

An Update To My Hiatus and Red Velvet Cream Cheese Whoopie Pies To Celebrate

Hello again, strangers! I know it's been over 3 months since I've done any blogging, and I'm sorry that it happened without any warning. Some personal issues came up and I started working 45 hours a week and never taking a break, and of course it affected me more than I wanted to admit to. However! This weekend I was encouraged to take a much needed break and spend the weekend with my parents in Chicago. It was an absolutely lovely weekend, and I spent it doing absolutely nothing that I hated and everything that I loved. I wrote, I watched movies with my parents, I ate (finally), and most of all I got back in touch with who I am and who I want to be. It's been an eye opening weekend, and I'm hoping that my plan to take one of these a month is going to seriously help me relax and take a breather sometimes.

This is how I spent my entire weekend (with movies in the background)
