Living here continues to amaze me. I was working at a little elementary school outside of Nashville yesterday. While listening to a great little 2nd grade reader, the announcements came on to inform the children that all after school activities would be cancelled due to inclement weather. I quickly looked outside expecting to see blinding snow and high winds.
The fresh vegetables in this pasta are to die for. Baby spinach, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and TONS of little grape tomatoes. I love that this dish is bursting with so much flavor, yet it takes such a short time to make it!
My parents love to cook. They are constantly refining and perfecting their recipes until they are perfect. One of those recipes that my mother has researched, tested, and continuously refined is her meatball recipe.
This is the last week before my crazy life as a grad student starts up again. So I’ve been going on a baking and cooking frenzy. I made this banana bread earlier this week. So glad I did. I’ve been enjoying a slice at breakfast… or as a mid afternoon snack… or both!
I love having fresh bread to go with meals or in sandwiches. Being on your own means it takes a LOT longer to finish a whole loaf. So I often find myself faced with the agonizing decision of what to do with the whole loaf before it changes into a multicolored piece of art.
