• This is not one of my most healthy meals but it is delicious and perfect for having friends for dinner. My cousin and her husband make it often and their 3 year old and 1 year old love it. I made it tonight when our neighbors came over for dinner.

I served this simple and flavorful pasta with grilled chicken, cut up on top and baked broccoli.

Ticia and Jason brought a great salad and some very fresh bread! Here are some action shots of them eating 🙂

They are the cutest family!

For dessert we had classic apple pie!

Served warm with vanilla yogurt!

After dinner and dessert, the twins played a great game of run around the house while we consulted about our empty, white baby room. It was great!
