Recently, we weren’t feeling well. Ryan called my mom, as he is quite handy with my iPhone…and he informed her in a bold, confident and cheerful voice that he was sick. She didn’t believe him.
In an effort to ease back into regular eating, I made this partly bland-partly not-so-bland dinner for us. The boys had just the noodles, chicken and a few bites of green beans, while Steve and I had the tomato-y pasta plus the rest. Given the situation, it worked nicely.
The sauteed tomatoes are the star of this meal! And they were perfect with the pasta!

I am drowning in basil. I have a ton drying in my pantry because I just can’t keep up. If you find some outside your door sometime it might be me making a donation. With all the running I do with the kids I pass by your house a few times a day! (well almost by your house)
