Sick Kids: Garlic Pasta with Veggies

Once again my children are sick this winter. We are on like round four over the span of three months. It is pretty widely accepted that garlic has natural healing properties. So, I figured getting a little more into my family's system wasn't a bad idea.

Garlic Pasta with Peas & Carrots

Ingredients 

• 1 box of pasta
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1 dash of  onion powder
• 1 dash of basil
• 1 can of mixed peas and carrots, drained
• Parmesan cheese to taste

 In a skillet heat butter, garlic, onion powder, and basil. Do this until the butter melts. Add drained can of vegetables and stir. Heat for several moments until completely covered. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a pot, cook pasta by directions on the box. Drain completely but don't rinse. Quickly place pasta back into pot and add the butter mixture. Stir until pasta is coated. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Enjoy!

30 Before 30: Three & Four

I think I need to get a dentist by the age of thirty! In fact, I think I need one right now. For a week or two now a few of my molars have bothered me. Tonight, while eating dinner half of one of my molars broke! So now I'm losing chunks of my tooth every few minutes. I think I will making an appointment immediately!

I really want to have a day long spa excursion. I don't mean an hour or two! I want the works! Massage-yes! Wax-Yes! Nails- Yes! Hair- Yes! Makeup- Sure! On that day I'm thinking, "if you offer it, I want it!" I like the idea of being pampered, but I don't know if I could ever spend that kind of money on myself. I guess it might just have to be a gift. Will someone please tell my hubby?



I owe you an apology for the missing post yesterday. Since Monday I have been oh so sick. Until I broke my tooth today I thought it was a cold or something, but I know this tooth of mine is infected. I may be going to work tomorrow, but if a dentist will take me, I'm leaving!
