This week has flew by! This is a pasta dish that I made last week, but did not get a chance to post until now. I really liked the flavors of the dish, and Ron was very happy with his leftovers for work. I think next time I would add a bit more bacon (we are bacon lovers) for the extra texture and flavor.
Tonight we are going to El Serape for Mexican food. I love this restaurant and can't wait, but I am not excited about the impending heartburn! Ouch! It has gotten pretty annoying over the past few weeks. A few of my friends have recommended apple cider vinegar and that seems like my next route. Anyone else have any handy tricks up their sleeves?
