I hope to read this soon.

So, in honor of happiness I have been working on a project that makes me happy! And since, I'm so happy with all of the project, let me know which makes you the happiest!

The Window

Somewhere between snack time and starvation, there is a window. A SMALL window. One night last week, I found the window and my kids ate every bite of this new recipe I dished up. Let me know if your family likes it!

Oh, and if you have a dad that is as great as mine, you can use garden fresh cabbage and butcher fresh sausage.

Fettuccine with Italian Sausage and Vegetables

Adapted from Real Simple

• ¾ lb fettuccine (white OR whole wheat)
• 1 lb Italian sausage (casing removed)
• 2-3 T Olive oil
• 6 cups thinly sliced cabbage
• 3 cups match stick carrots
• 1 bunch green onions (greens only)
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan
• salt and pepper, to taste

Brown sausage in a skillet; remove. Add olive oil and veggies to skillet; cook over med-hi heat for about 6 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer until tender; 3-4 minutes. Toss with cooked fettuccine, nutmeg, sausage, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.

P.S. Sorry no photos. These days I can barely find clean plates and forks to eat dinner from let alone photograph it!

Fading memories...
