Ok, the azaleas are now fading after a SPECTACULAR show! They’ve been so stunning up and down this street – covered in azaleas everywhere. An explosion of bright pink, some light pink, a couple salmon color and white – Wow! I’ll miss their bright happiness for sure! But…

Asparagus is out of the world right now – we’ve been eating it all year long, but right now.. #PERFECTION Time to make another veggie pasta. You can mix the veggies up daily and it’s always so different. I’ve been making our asparagus pasta recipe for a few years now and after having some leftover mushrooms (all but two mushrooms in a package) it was time to change things up – plus I added another veg that took this over the top. This was delicious and QUICK!
