Like a baby

Hey! How are you? Hope your morning is going well <3

I slept last night. Like, all night, through the night. If youโ€™ve been following along on the family page, then you know this is a pretty huge deal.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that our new mattress came yesterday?

mattress

Bella called dibs before I could get all of the bedding on itโ€ฆ

It also might have had something to do with the carby blanket I wrapped my soul in pre-slumber.

baked pasta

Baked pasta with goat cheese ๐Ÿ™‚

All I did was make a batch of my homemade or a la jar marinara sauce, added in some organic garlic and herb turkey sausage + a boatload fresh basil

marinara

tossed with pasta (brown rice spirals for me, penne for the Pilot)

pasta

put into a baking dish (with lots of cheese for the Pilot), topped with goat cheese and baked at 375 for 15 minutes.

With roasted fennel and onion, with olive oil, sea salt and balsamic:

It was the Pilotโ€™s first time trying fennel- he was a fan. He was like, โ€œHmm, what is this thing? I like it.โ€ in between crunching away ๐Ÿ™‚

This morning after my glorious slumber, Iโ€™m off to take Bell for a walk then hit the weights, post office and commissary.

See ya later with a Family post <3

Headโ€™s up: Todayโ€™s Living Social deal is for WHOLE PAYCHECK!!! Amazing.

Also, if youโ€™ve been wanting to try Sun Warrior, itโ€™s todayโ€™s OpenSky promo.

Something to think:

โ€œDonโ€™t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.โ€

    I made something similar for dinner last night! Bowtie Pasta with Marinara sauce, Shrimp, fresh spinach and goat cheese melted in….delicious! I will have to try the herb turkey sausage next time.

    zomg. I almost had a heart attack when I read about that Living Social deal!!!! I am so pumped. That marinara sauce looks awesome btw, I’ve never attempted my own sauce but I imagine it tastes much better than the canned stuff!

    I made baked ravioli myself the other night ๐Ÿ™‚ am I weird for not liking al-dente pasta, so the extra cooking time is amazing to me? I love it ๐Ÿ™‚

    Congrats on the new mattress <– makes all the difference for your sleep ๐Ÿ™‚

    We have the same bed! It took me forever to get used to but now I love it! I think Tempurpedics can be hard for stomach sleepers.

    I’m so excited to try sunwarrior! Who could resist the discount price?

    I am so jealous of people that can eat tomatoes.. I am allergic, they make my joints ache to the point where I can’t sleep. Potatoes too, so I generally avoid nightshades.

    Question: Can you ship internationally from your OpenSky shop? I couldn’t find any international shipping policies.

    • Fitnessista on September 13, 2011 at 8:09 pm

      i’m so sad you’re allergic to tomatoes! a good friend of mine is too
      nope ๐Ÿ™ they’re working on it, but as of now, only us orders. whomp whomp

    That looks delicious! People always told me before I had a baby to “enjoy your sleep,” but what did that mean then? Now…i know! So enjoy your sleep ๐Ÿ˜‰ although having a baby boy has been very very worth giving zzz’s up for!

    glad to hear that you slept peacefully and soundly, you deserve it. Hee hee, for the record that seems to be the OPPOSITE of how my baby sleeps.

  15. Koko @KokoLikes on September 14, 2011 at 1:34 am

    Congrats on sleeping through the night, you will need all this sleep before baby comes! And that pasta looks AMAZING, can’t wait to try it!
