Tomato and Bacon Rotini

I've been feeling very creative lately and decided to cook something new and totally crazy for dinner.  I made it up as I went along based on things in my fridge and cabinets.  Shawn was skeptical at first, but we all liked it.

Tomato and Bacon Rotini





















Ingredients:

1/2 package of bacon (about 8 slices), chopped
1 onion, chopped
5 roma tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 pkg Rotini (about 16 oz) - I used whole wheat Rotini

Directions:

In a skillet, cook bacon, onion, garlic, and thyme over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes or until bacon is browned.
Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper.  Break down the tomatoes with the back of your spoon.  Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
Add the parsley.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta for 8-10 minutes or until tender.  Drain well and return to the pot.
Add the sauce and coat well.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
