If you’ve had a busy day, then things get even crazier when the kids came home, well, here’s a dish that delivers a big dose of TLC. Pasta Carbonara, and it came to the rescue last night for our family.
We started off the day with everyone heading out for school, the office and errands. It was a productive day for everyone and then…dun, dun, dun…here it comes – carpool, music, lacrosse, robotics, etc. We got those things checked off the list and decided it was time for some fun.
If was a beautiful fall day and after all the dreary weather we’d had, Middle School football was the perfect escape. We quickly got our act together and headed out. We had such a great time and the Tigers pulled out a win! WAY TO GO TEAM!!
Hot, comforting and full of rich flavor, Pasta Carbonara with warm bread brought my family to the table. Yep, it was a busy day but that’s just how life is sometimes. The best thing is, we ended up together at the table, sharing about our day, laughing and loving on each other. Ahhhh….
