Today is Thursday. "Mama said there'll be days like this, there'll be days like this, my mama said...mama said...mama said." I think that's how it goes. Having a day over here - got in a car accident (oopsie whoopsie), my kid had swimming lessons in -17 degree weather, Diet Coke can (that I only keep on hand for my mother-in-law) exploded in the garage fridge, and I didn't have time to go to Home Goods like I wanted to! WAHHH! I haven't washed my hair in like 332 days, which is the norm, but I just realized I have book club tonight so now I have to shower when I didn't even work out! What a waste! Anyways, obviously what I am getting at is that we ate carbs tonight. Yup. I'm not even sorry because I felt happier after I ate them. But I won't eat or drink any treats at book club tonight...ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that is a lie. Hope all you little Blogadears had a better day than I did!  And I just realized this meal is gluten and diary-free if y...

Today is Sunday. Blah blah cold, gray Sunday. My highlight of the day was going to our favorite bakery after church because the kids were only mildly horrendous. And then they were out of my favorite donuts! Argh! So, dinner had to become the highlight. I decided to make my husband’s favorite pasta dish. Not that he deserves it for any adorable deed he performed for me, but because I have some heavy whipping cream leftover that probably hasn’t expired yet. Whipping cream = tomato CREAM sauce = happiness. And of course, his favorite pasta dish isn’t even my recipe at all. My neighbor brought this over when we had just moved into our house and had no appliances. Why someone with a 5 year-old, two 3 year-olds, a 2 year-old, and a 1 year-old is making anything for anyone else is beyond me, but if I could cook this well, I would be dragging baked zitis all over town. I better see an adorable deed happen for this.  Reprinted with permission from Jenn Segal's Onceuponachef.com ....
