eats: Arugula Tortellini Salad

Friday, April 11, 2014 1 Comment

Arugula Tortellini Salad | @mamamissblog #quickmeal #simplemeal #kidfriendly #salad

I’m all about QUICK & EASY meals (if you haven’t figured that out already).

Some weeks I get all excited & creative to try new things and extremely complicated meals.  When these creative streaks in the kitchen happen, hubs promptly says “oooh the chef is getting sassy”.  Well, I think the majority of the time this chef is far from sassy lol.  She’s tired, and crazy busy, and she just wants simple and fast.  Tell me most of you feel the same way?!

Well, this Arugula Tortellini Salad requires no defrosting, no heavy prep, the kids will eat it, and it’s relatively healthy.  And when I say “relatively healthy” I mean, it’s not like eating a bowl full of fresh steamed veggies, but it’s far from a fast food meal.  So it’s relatively healthy, and simple, and kid-edible, and quick.  Four words I LOVE to hear when making a meal for the whole family.

Speaking of whole family.

I RARELY make separate meals for kids.  I mean, once in a blue moon, rare.  The only time the kiddos get separate meals is if the dish is overly spicy, which is indeed rare since I’m not a spicy food fan either, only hubs is.  So, when I am creating recipes or doing extreme altering to them, I’m adapting them to fit our family’s needs, for our family time.

Speaking of family time.

Meals at breakfast & lunch are chaotic – dinner is family time.  We eat together every night, at the kitchen table.  The kids eat what we eat.  V, sometimes T, sets the table and helps serve the meals.  We go around the table every night and either share “what our favorite part of that day was”, or “what we were thankful for that day”.  I started off doing this sporadically, and more recently I’ve been so consistent with it that V has taken the torch (heart swoon) and goes around & asks everyone at dinner now.  My favorite, my absolute favorite… is when we have family visiting for dinner and she goes around & asks them too – truly makes my heart smile.

So, the Arugula Tortellini Salad.  Enjoy!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
