After the hecticness of the last few weeks, I'm hoping this one will be our first normal one. It's starting out semi-normal...Nick is at work, the kids are leaving for school here in a bit and I'm going to the grocery store. It about drives me nuts when my schedule is all thrown off!
The more hectic it gets, the less I stick to my meal plan and often turn to recipes that are quick fixes, but hearty at the same time. This is one of those go-to recipes. I'm beginning to love pastas without sauces. This one has a splash of balsamic vinegar in the end and that's really all it needs. I used to not like balsamic vinegar, but after a few tries, it's really growing on me :)
