Pasta Pleeeeease...


What girl doesn't love a good bowl of Pasta? What Human?? I have been on the hunt for good GF/DF pasta and finally have found it. Gone are the days of soggy mushy rice noodles that stick together in clumps at the bottom of the pot, half cooked and half hard. Gross.

RP's Pasta Company makes some phenomenal GF/DF pasta options. They even have "no boil" lasagna noodles that are to die for. I have been making GF/DF lasagna about once a week lately since I found their lasagna noodles. The pasta IS on the slightly pricier side however you know you are getting good quality.



I haven't found them anywhere other than Whole Foods but I'm sure if you ask your local grocery they would be happy to order them for you. I typically buy a few packages at a time and throw them in the freezer. Aside for being GF/DF these really are the closest store bought noodles to homemade... you know the kind that your grandma, or in my case, Aunt Cinde, used to slave over for hours. YUM.

If you need any help with easy add ins let me know! Broccoli chopped up really fine and smothered in red sauce is a fav in our house.

So, all you mamas, papas, and kiddos who love to eat pasta but dont want to have a melt down afterwards... or a stomach ache for a week- Your Welcome.

So much to cover... so little time.

I have started about seven different posts... each time I begin on a subject it reminds me of another. A post about Bread quickly turns in a post about almond butter which quickly turns into a post about jam and refined sugars and how they make my kids SPAZ out. Which then turns into a post about how even as an adult, myself and several of my girlfriends get ultra "moody" after eating gluten. I end up with a handful of half written posts. All of them are so important and its hard to narrow it down on which to touch on first. So why don't we do this... Tell me what you want to hear. Kids school snack, school lunches, healthy vs unhealthy proteins, bread choices, nut butter choices, GMO issues, corn issues, sugar issues. Just tell me. Other wise my head is a explosion of thoughts. Ok GO! (comment below)
