My Family Loves Me….
For the FOOD! They can’t fool me!
Today, I had grandiose plans to make my own take on Spinoccoli from Pizzeria Uno. Spinoccoli is a thin chicken breast stuffed with spinach, feta, mozzarella, broccoli, and fresh tomatoes, served on a bed of penne in a basil pesto sauce. Here is a serving….
Everyone loved it. They should have! I made fresh pesto, lightly steamed the spinach and broccoli before baking in the chicken, pounded the living daylights outta the chicken to make it paper thin, and conjured up my own basil pesto sauce with light cream! Phew. It really was a lengthy process, but in seeing everyone eat as though they hadn’t seen food in ages, well….
I finished washing the dishes just in time to run the kids off to their Monday evening youth group at the church. While they were gone, I had to wait for them. Boring, right?
HA! Did you forget I take my camera everywhere?
The following two photos are classified (by moi!) as Artistic Moonshots. Since I had no monopod nor tripod with me, they are a bit shaky, therefore, “artistic”! I loved the colors of the clouds surrounding and sometimes covering the moon!
We got home shortly after 9 pm, and after my cooking excursion and running about excursion, I am ready for a sleep excursion!

WOW! The moon shots are amazing…that second one is really great! And your food sounds heavenly!!! I always love it when people include a picture of what they’ve made…it just makes it seem so much better!!
Rumbling tum in Ayrshire!!
I like the way that the moon almost seems to be in front of the tree branches in the last photo.
The “moon” shots are, as usual, fantastic.
As for the Spinoccoli……….it looks so, So, SO good! Unfortunately for me, the DWLZ website lists UNO’s version as having 38 WeightWatchers’ points.
I’m allowed 22 points per day, so even though there’s an UNO’s just 2 miles from here, I’ll just have to dream about it.
The moon shots are really fantastic!
If it wasn’t for the chicken (I’m vegetarian!) I’d be over for tea like a shot!
