Spuds!

Today, we planted 20 potatoes in hopes of spuds late on. This is our first attempt at potatoes so wish us luck. The weather is finally warming. This weekend is a majoring gardening event!

We also made a great Mediterranean pasta for dinner tonight. Here's the recipe:

Mediterranean Pasta (for 5-6 people)

1 pkg or box of whole wheat penne pasta

1 cup of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, julienned
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 yellow sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 sweet red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 gloves garlic, finely minced
Optional: 2 large prawns per person
1/2 cup white or rose wine
Basil
Parmesan cheese

1. Boil up a large pot of water for the pasta. Add pasta and cook according to directions.

2. Add sun dried tomatoes with their oil and olive oil to a large skillet. Turn heat to medium-low. Add onions, mushrooms, bell pepper, garlic, and prawns (if using). Cook until onions are soft and prawns are pink. Turn heat to medium high, add wine and cover for 1-2 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.

3. Drain pasta. Toss with veggie mix. Sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese. Serve with a glass of wine and enjoy!
