One thing that I can always count on my kids eating without complaint is pasta.
They love pasta – all pasta. They would eat it every night of the week without fail if I’d let them.
But I get tired of the same ole pasta recipes.
You can only eat spaghetti so many weeks in a row before you start to hate the sight of it. I have to switch it up.
