Okay y’all, I need to ask you where summer has gone? I just realized school starts back up in two weeks.

TWO WEEKS!!!

Back to the hustle and bustle of busy weeks. Both kids are in high school and the homework loads are crazy high. Do your kids spend hours on homework too?

Well, you are in luck because this year I am going to get really organized with family dinners. Last year our family was lucky to be able to sit down together twice a week. I want to make the most of that family time by creating easy dinner recipes that are ready in under 30 minutes.

The star of this easy gluten free pasta dinner recipe is this Mezzetta peperoncini. Believe it or not, this was the first time I ate a peperoncini. If you have been following my blog, you know I LOVE spicy. I am not sure why I haven’t tried one sooner.

This pasta is so easy to make!! My daughter makes a variation with a LOT of bacon. (It is pretty amazing so feel free to adapt your garlic fettuccine recipe to add bacon.)

  2. Summer just flew by and the weather is so cool outside today I had to wear a jacket. Really???? We are ready for everything less than 30 minutes because evenings are so busy. Love the addition of the little bite from the pepperocini in your creamy pasta dish. Sharing, of course!
