Homemade Adult Costumes -10/18

Matt wanted to dress as Jake the pirate for Halloween so we planned our costume around what he wanted. Maddie was Tinkerbell, I was Mr. Smee, and Paolo was a fellow pirate. Lol! My outfit literally cost me $8. I had the red beanie, scarf, and slippers already. I just had to buy the striped shirt, which was hard to find during the Fall season. Whatever I had in my closet came in handy for my Mr. Smee costume. 

My best friend gave her this outfit months before and it definitely came in handy. I went to the Disney store to buy Maddie some cute Tinkerbell shoes... That didn't last. She took them off instantly. 

We had so much fun at the Great Park with all their Halloween activities. Now time to clean their costumes so they can use it again for all the other costume parties we are going to be attending. Gotta make use of these costumes!

Ok so we had pre-planned our crazy poses but we then realized "all eyes on us." So we kept it simple, and did prom like poses! Lol! 

Four month check up

My little princess is growing healthy. She was a little trooper during her shots. Could they have at least given her a more girly band aid? Lol! I guess a wolverine bandaid will still do the job! Hahaha

Playing in the Kitchen

I'm so happy I decided to make this today. It definitely hit the spot. Next time I would add either shrimp to the dish or a side of baked chicken. Paolo helped and made garlic bread that turned out delicious. Adding this receipe in my oh so fabulous cook book!

Spaghetti with Herbed Ricotta and Garlic

Serves 4

Recipe by Rebekah Peppler

INGREDIENTS
1 lb spaghetti
5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1 small bunch chives (about 1/2 cup, chopped)
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

PREPARATION
Cook spaghetti according to package directions, until al dente. Drain through a colander, reserving about a cup of the pasta water.

Thinly slice garlic cloves, and set aside. Slice basil leaves into thin ribbons, and coarsely chop chives and parsley. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped herbs and the ricotta, and mix to combine.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat, and add sliced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, until garlic is soft, then add the cooked pasta, 1 1/2 cups of the herbed ricotta, and ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss together and season with salt and pepper. Continue to heat, tossing occasionally, until the cheese has melted and a sauce has formed.

Transfer to a serving bowl and dollop with the remaining 1/2 cup ricotta.
