The School Bell is About to Ring..so is the Dinner Bell!
What happened to summer! I mean we should still be buying stuff for S’mores not stuff for backpacks.
I remember that school didn’t start until after the Jerry Lewis telethon.
Raise your hand it you remember that? Thank you. I see those hands wildly waving in the back.
Now, the school where our kiddo attends is starting in the middle of August! Goodbye summer days, hello weeknight routines!
Part of that routine is having a good meal plan. I need to know what we are having way before the kids ask that dreaded question..”What’s For Dinner?”
The other thing I don’t love during the busy nights of school activities is a huge dinner mess. Planning ahead helps with that as well. This One Pot dinner is one of those bare bones recipes that you can add to. Kind of like a blank canvas!
So go ahead. Plan to make this, but then add in the things your family loves such as olives, hot sausage, corn, you name it.
Help make dinner time a time to reconnect. A time to celebrate the little things, and a time to reflect on what is truly important in our lives.
Here is what Milisa has to say about this pasta dish.
This one pot pasta is easy to customize with your favorites. You could sub in ground beef or chicken for the Italian sausage and mushrooms, peppers, onions or spinach would be great additions.

Quick Tip: Keep the ingredients handy for this super easy supper. Show your kids how to make it. If you are not home, they can feed themselves. Doing their own laundry so their new t-shirts aren’t pink..well that is a whole other ball of wax my friend. Best of luck on that!
