Dinner at home…

 

There’s something comforting about…

chopping up some fresh veggies

such as onion, celery, red peppers and mushrooms…

035

037

039

seasoning them with a little salt and pepper…

052

sautéing them in a hot pan with some olive oil…

053

adding some ground turkey italian sausage and browning it…

054

tossing in some minced garlic…

055

adding a splash of red wine, some red pepper flakes to taste, and two 15 oz. cans of tomato sauce

and letting it simmer for a few minutes while you boil a pound of whole grain linquini…

057

tossing it all with the drained linguini…

adding a generous handful of shredded parmesan cheese…

making a quick salad of mixed greens, diced pear, feta cheese, and vinaigrette…

setting the table…

and having the Hubs walk in the door at the exact minute it’s all ready.

I love dinner at home nights.

  7. What wonderful photos....and the freedom to take them without people looking askance at you! ;-) Isn't it fun to photograph all the simple pleasures of our lives? (Sometimes, I open your blog and leave it open on my computer to listen to the song! Generally, I dislike blog music, but not this Paintbrush song.)

  10. Looks great! Isn't it a most satisfying and wonderful feeling to have dinner at home for your husband when he walks in?
    The other day, mine told me he "virtually skips out of the office", in anticipation of arriving home to me, being welcomed by an inviting home and good dinner.
    That's the blessing of this calling.
