Book Worm

Those of you who know me know that it is no secret that I have a love for books. I am one of those people who need a license plate holder that says, "I'd rather be reading" because most of the time this is true. The other night as Carson was getting ready for bed I left him in the rocking chair for a minute ( I know, how could I leave him unattended, what a bad mom-whatever) to grab the phone.

When I came back Carson was flipping through some book on his own. I was so proud and I am hoping to instill a love for reading early on and it looks like it just might be working!

Tasty Tuesdays

The following recipe is pretty healthy and consequently fairly bland but we liked it, I just need to add a little something to give it more flavor next time.

Shrimply Divine Pasta

6 oz. noodles
12 oz. shrimp
1 1/2 tsp. garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
1C. chicken broth
1 Tbsp corn starch (I didn't have any so I substituted flour instead)
1 tsp. basil
Parmesan cheese and pepper

Cook Pasta
Saute garlic over hot oil for 15 sec.
Combine chicken broth, flour and basil. Cook until thick and bubbly
Add spinach and cook 1-2 min. more
Toss everything together and enjoy
