Hi everyone, how was your weekend? We had a great weekend, kicking things off Friday night with a date night! Anyone with little kids knows that these are a rarity to be enjoyed! Grandma Jess came over and hung out with Ben and Carys while Mommy and Daddy headed downtown for dinner with friends/cousins (hi Mike and Amanda!) before heading to see Cirque Eloize “Rain”. It was fantastic!

Monday has rolled around and its been a busy one, getting organized and putting the house back together after a busy weekend. Grocery shopping, painting, laundry (oh so much laundry!), and projects galore around here today! Definitely one of those days that call for a quick and easy dinner. Here’s our “cheat” meal we had tonight…

Quick and Easy Pasta with Pesto and Shrimp

1 package fresh angel hair pasta
1 container fresh pesto (deli section at your local grocer)
Cooked Prawns/Shrimp (pan fry with some butter, garlic, a little lemon zest, salt and fresh ground pepper)
Sun-dried tomatoes (soak dried tomatoes in hot water till softened)
Crumbled feta

Cook the fresh pasta according to the package directions (takes very little time with fresh pasta, be sure not to over cook!). Drain pasta, and toss with enough pesto to coat. Add in the cooked shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, and serve, crumbling some feta over each serving.

Have a good night, back tomorrow
