After school today I went for a quick and chilly run in the 50 degree Ohio weather. At least I was dry because it has been raining here for the past week! Following the freezing run, I showered and headed to meet 3 of my good girlfriends from college for dinner. We had a such a great time chatting for 3 hours until the restaurant cleaned up around us and locked the door and we finally took a hint. I realized how much I miss them and our dinners are not often enough! Expect a girls night here coming up!

Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures of the delicious veggie pizza that Kelly and I shared or the soft doughy bread we inhaled after ordering, but I assure you it was good! Since we did Italian tonight, and some people have requested the tortellini recipe from the baby shower – I will leave you with that. Tomorrow I will be back to posting some simple weeknight dinners!

Super Simple Pesto Tortellini

  • 1 full package – or two half packages of fresh tri-color cheese tortellini (I found mine at Costco)
  • Fresh pesto (Costco, again) I only use a few big tablespoons
  1. Cook tortellini as directed making sure to salt the water so it does not stick!
  2. Stir pesto into cooked pasta
  3. Let cool and skewer!
  4. Store in the fridge and serve room temp.

That is it! Super easy – just the way it should be!
