Channeling my inner John Michael Veltri

It's been awhile since the cooking challenge was put into action and I swear, I haven't completely dropped out. However, the school year is in full swing and the SPORTS are in full swing and sometimes we are lucky if we actually sit down for dinner instead of shoving food in our mouths as we run out the door to another sporting event! So, we recently made a little Italian trio. Maybe not so good for the thighs but it was definitely warming comfort food in the past few cold days. We grilled fresh zucchini and made whole wheat pasta {in case we weren't crazy about the ravioli, which we loved..} with homemade spaghetti sauce. Yes, I said homemade. We made spinach ravioli and chicken breaded in Italian seasoning and of course the sauce was so delish that it made it's way onto the chicken! Joey scarfed it down like someone was going to steal it from him! Whenever I do take the time to cook, I remember how much I love to cook and try out new recipes. I really do need to squeeze it into the daily routine somehow, but for now...I think it makes us more appreciative of the nights that we can sit down, join hands, say grace and dig in! Seconds, anyone?
