Pasta Primavera

 

Although the season calls for lots of slow cooker and "fall like" foods, it is still nice to get in a great pasta and vegetable dinner here and there. 

This Pasta Primavera is divine, I actually stole this recipe from my husband. Ha!

 

Ingredients:

1 box of penne noodles
2 cups of baby carrots
2 cups of fresh green beans
2 cups of chopped tomatoes
1 bushel of broccoli
1 small zucchini
1 small onion
3-4 large mushrooms
salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste

Coffee It Forward with Seattle's Best Rubi Coffee Kiosk #shop #Rubi2Go

My day starts like most Moms. I have my to do list, my child and there never seems like there are enough hours in the day to get it all done. On my days off from work I try to get as many things done to be productive with my time. What fuels this tired working and blogging Mom is coffee! I would be a mess without it. Normally I start the day with a cup at home with my husband then I grab another cup of coffee from a drive-thru of some sort. I have tried the cheap convenience coffee and the high end coffee that cost way more than it should as well. I do prefer quality fresh ground coffee so I end up spending more money than I want to and time spent in line at a store or drive-thru.

Recently while shopping at Save Mart I noticed a Coffee Kiosk that was brewing Seattle's Best coffee. I pondered for a bit if coffee from a machine would be good. I can recall from my childhood old brown square shaped machines that black thick gross coffee would come out of and I thought this is 2013 I am sure it has improved! Knowing that Seattle's Best coffee is a high end coffee, I decided to try it.

My Fall Favorite, Apple Bread Pudding With Vanilla Ice Cream

Sometimes I think my favorite thing about fall is the desserts. I mean, who can resist all the apple, pumpkin, and other flavors of the season??

Not me, so yesterday while in the kitchen, I made one of my very favorite desserts, Apple Bread Pudding. I love making bread puddings of all kinds, and apple flavor is one of my grandchildren's favorites.

And of course, that vanilla bean ice cream on top of it is a little piece of heaven.
