Saturday Recap & Simple Pasta Recipe

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday was a busy day for us despite the ridiculous heat.  My in laws left in the late morning to head back to Ohio, and then Nathan, Samuel, and I spent a few hours running errands: Home Depot, Target, Zesto’s for ice cream, and finally Samuel and I took a long nap.  Nathan also finished designing Samuel’s birth announcements!  I can’t wait to send them to the printer.  It is awesome being married to an artist.

We’ve been waiting for Samuel to fit into his cloth diapers.  His legs were so skinny that even set on the tightest fit, they were all too big.  Yesterday we tried again, and the Bum Genius 3.0s FINALLY fit him!  They are ADORABLE.

{Seriously cloth diapers are the cutest things ever.}

This morning I tried his GroBaby diapers on as well, and they fit too!  I’m just waiting for the FuzziBunz, Flip, and Econobum to fit a little better.  So we’re still {very reluctantly} using disposable at night.

Since I haven’t been to the grocery store in what seems like forever, last night’s dinner was a “use what we have” kind of night.  I made Nathan pasta with tomato sauce, but I’ve been trying to avoid anything with garlic in it {like onions it seems to bother Samuel}.

Instead, I went through the fridge and came up with this:

Summer Pasta {my recipe}

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked linguine
• 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup fresh diced tomatoes
• 1 hard boiled egg, chopped
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 tbs Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to box.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, egg, tomato, spinach, and cheese.
3. When pasta is done cooking, add to bowl and toss.

Grade: A

Comments: Delicious!  It was so light but incredibly filling.  The veggies tasted wonderful with the pasta.  I wasn’t sure I’d like the egg, but it was actually really good.  It gave the dish some texture and added protein which this dish was severely lacking otherwise.
