Girlfriend Tip

I am obsessed with the beauty aisle at Whole Foods.  They have so many great products.  Everytime I am there I spend so much time browsing and testing the products.  Here are some that I thought were especially interesting.  The entire Acure line is FABULOUS.  Next on my list is the sunscreen, the lavender shampoo and the “skin food”.

One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta

I am always searching for easy, quick dinner options for weeknight meals.  Preferably ones that I can make while talking to my children after a long day of school (i.e. not too complicated).  I was browsing on Pinterest and found this One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta, which was also nicknamed “Crack Pasta”.  I tried it earlier in the week and it got rave reviews from my three very tough food critics.
I thought I would share the recipe with you since easy, tasty family dishes are always in demand.

One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta



Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil 
4 cloves garlic, minced 

  • 2 cups chicken broth 
  • 1 cup milk, or more, as needed 
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
  • 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine 
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions:
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. 
  • Stir in chicken broth, milk, butter and fettuccine; season with salt and pepper, to taste. 
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached. 
  • Serve immediately.

Wishlist Wednesday

On the top of my wish list is an item from Cricket Burns’ “Cricket’s Crush” collection, which she curated herself.  After getting to know Cricket, I am so enamored of her style.  One day she came into a meeting wearing a fabulous electric blue fur vest, and a gorgeous pair of Chanel all weather boots.  She was also wearing her signature statement eyeglasses and she stole the show with one swift movement of walking through the door.  We were all in awe!!


Tomorrow night Cricket is hosting her very own trunk show of all her unique finds.  I cannot wait.  If you are in the area, please stop by, you never know what you might find!
