My eldest child Alexander, 13, returned home today from a 4 day soccer tournament. He walked in with a bag of HOT Cheetos, smell and all. He quickly tells me he's not hungry, they stopped for Taco Bell on their way home. Yes I was a bit deflated... I was excited to have him at the dinner table tonight. So I went on to make dinner for my baby boy Dominic and myself (Desiree said she didn't want to eat...I think the Cheetos got to her before I did). Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with whole wheat pasta, a regular in our dinner rotation. It was leftover from the other night. I had taught my friend how to make it, she was frequenting a seasoning pouch, just add tomato sauce type and felt she could be doing better. Anyhow I served my plate and my son walks in the kitchen and sees the food and says " OH.. yeah I am hungry" I happily make him a plate. As he inhales it he admits "I missed home cooking this past weekend, thanks mom." It's nice to have him home.
Coincidentally, Desiree decides to eat. Pasta with Olive Oil, Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, the purist that she is!
When in California, eat as Califonians do.

About Me

- Sacramento, California, United States
- I am a mother of three (1,5,13)and we all LOVE to eat! I am definitely a Foodie and I am sure when my children are adults they will have a great appreciation for food themselves. I cook with seasonal, locally grown fruits and vegetables. I shop at our farmers markets and co-ops where I can buy from bulk and save money and also reduce waste all while supporting our community. We also are learning how to nurture our own organic garden. I feed my family whole foods, unprocessed as much as possible. I believe in equipping them with the ability to make good choices as adults and with the understanding that there's always a time for indulgence. I believe that with a bit of work and planning ahead we can all eat deliciously healthful.

Hi Tracy,
Ramon liked the Spagetti, too! Alexander asked Ramon,"I heard you had the best spagetti in the world?" Ramon said "Yes, it was good.I ate the leftovers, too!" Which he rarely does. Will be using your recipe next time (w/o the lawrys packet). Thank's!
p.s. like all the recipe ideas! Did you add your no bake cookies?
