Stuffed Shells For Supper


















I put away the pet loss books this morning and went to the grocery store. We have been living on junk food and I was getting tired of it. Needless to say John must have been too, although he never said a word. It is cold here on the Central Coast of California for April, so I decided to make some stuffed shells for supper tonight. Super simple. I just made a light marinara sauce adding in some turkey sausage and herbs. I cooked some pasta shells and filled them with s stuffing of ricotta, eggs, grated parmesan, parsley from my garden, a little nutmeg, and some salt and pepper. That was it. I stuffed the shells, covered them with sauce and popped them in the fridge. Come suppertime I will top them off with some grated mozarella and pop them in the oven to bake for about an hour. Serve with a salad and some toasted bread. A nice change for tonight. To be sure.

  5. yay..yay...happy happy dance. this means no disrespect to buddy but shows that you are opening your heart to the new pup that buddy directed you to. i can't wait for lil' teddy to be the new most loved puppy in existence! i mean, do you think about this like i did? this puppy has no idea about what is about to happen to him. and don't be surprised when you get to the breeders. my breeders website was so cool and when i got to her house i was horrified. grab that puppy and run!
