So, so, good! Simple too! Penne Arribiata

This was so easy to make and it tasted so good! We had it for dinner tonight and it was so good. Thanks to MOF Les for sharing it!

Penne Arribiata

1 T. olive oil
3 cloves crushed garlic
1 onion chopped
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes- increase or decrease to change spiciness
1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes
Salt if needed
1 pkg penne (12-16 oz)

Sautee onion and garlic and crushed red pepper in olive oil. When onions are clear/soft add tomatoes- Simmer for 20 minutes. In the meantime cool penne. Drain. Mix with sauce. Top with mozz and parm cheese.

Will winter never end?

It seems like it has been winter for 100 years now. Being stuck home with a new baby to avoid germs isn't helping either. Add to that a three year old who desperately wants to play outside all day every day.

I might go insane!

T's Third Birthday

I realize it looks I posted every picture that I took, but I didn't. Honest.

Pictures from T's 3rd birthday party. Since baby A was only a week old we kept the party small. Really small.

If you think it looks like T had been bawling, you would be right. We had a trauma, a tantrum, and a melt down before our little party. That's what happens when you peek at your presents while Mom is wrapping them! You still have to wait!
The box from Nana and A that T had been dying to open for 2 days.



Baby A, the little party animal.

The most beloved Trash Can Truck and reason for the trauma, tantrum, and melt down.
He loved the candles that kept lighting themselves!

Our baby girl...

I know most of you probably read my other baby blog but I think once I post her birth story I am going to retire the other blog. I'm pretty sure now that we have Miss A we won't be adding anymore to our family. But.... never say never.
