Not Your Average Pasta Dish

I wanted to share this awesome quick and a little different pasta recipe. This is great for a weeknight meal when you don't feel like being in the kitchen all evening.

1 package potato gnocchi

1 small can of corn

3/4 cup light half and half  

3 ounces light cream cheese

1/2 tsp garlic salt and basil

as much or little spinach as you'd like

Cook the gnocchi as directed, while that is boiling combine he half and half, cream cheese, and spices. Stir until all mixed together. Drain the pasta, add corn and spinach, then your sauce.  

This dish was surprisingly delicious! Try it out! 

It's National Garlic Month!!

Anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love garlic and am constantly adding it to pretty much everything I eat. Having said that I'm all about National Garlic Day, which was April 19th. So in honor of this amazing member of the onion family, I give you 5 facts about garlic...

Garlic can help prevent infections or colds. It can also slow down aging and even prevent colon or breast cancer. 

It's typically considered a "super food". 

Garlic contains only 4 calories per clove, and has the ability to break down fat, increasing metabolism.

China produces around 66% of the World’s garlic.

Garlic and onions are toxic to cats and dogs. So keep Fido away from the kitchen floor when cooking with it (also onions and grapes).

Now go cook something extra garlicky! 

My Easter Attire

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Easter Sunday!

When putting together an outfit I always start with a color palette. I went with whites, greens, and a floral print.

A major trend this Spring is the crocheted look.  Be it a dress or a skirt, this look is here to stay for the season. 

This sage kimono was the perfect substitution to the ever typical cardigan. It was great for morning when it was still a little chilly. Also I'm thinking it is going to be a staple garment. 

I knew this outfit needed just an extra touch so, pink pearls it was. And I mean it wouldn't be Easter Sunday without a hat right?

Last but not least our yearly Easter Photo!
