My garden and House

May 3rd, 2007

Here is what my garden is looking like right now. Everything is growing so nicely. I can not wait to eat some of what I am growing. I think I am addicted to planting stuff!!!!

And here is my retreat. I love my house. I love being at home in it. I love just relaxing in the yard. I am so blessed. I am so thankful for my husband. He is a great provider. And I am thankful to Jesus for blessing us.

Finally, I tried this new recipe. It was so good. I was watching a rerun of Giada’s show on Food Network. I was so hungry at midnight after watching it. Anyways, the recipe is below the picture.

Giada's meal

Fusilli with Spinach and Asiago Cheese
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

1 pound fusilli pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped
8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve.
