This is a very fresh and healthy pasta recipe- packed with veggies. I usually go for the cream sauce type pasta dishes, but this recipe has no cream sauce in sight! The pasta is simply tossed with the sautéed veggies, and then the chicken, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese are added in.

That water comes in handy later on as an option to toss with the finished pasta to add some moisture back in to the dish....

It’s so much fun to have a chef in our family because I can totally relate to him and we have so much in common....

I made this beautiful, simple cake yesterday to have for Saturday morning breakfast. When I woke up this morning, I sleepily stumbled to the kitchen to cut myself a slice to have with my morning tea, and the darn cake is almost gone. The explanation = teenagers.
