Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

I recently bought Denise's Daily Dozen and unlike some of the other healthy recipe books I've bought, there are actually some really tasty meals in this one. Here's one I recently made.

Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

What You Need:

2 oz. dry whole wheat spaghetti

2 tsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic

1 T. chopped shallots

1 C. roughly chopped plum tomatoes

1/2 C. low-sodium chicken broth

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 C. fresh spinach

1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese

What You Do:

Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain, and put it aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and shallots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add fresh spinach one handful at a time and stir. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.

I may or may not have had a little wine with this meal :)

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!! I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained . :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used. The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables and these free printables to make these cute little treats! I had a lot of fun making them. I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy. I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need: 1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos. I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths. Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper. Sprinkle candy corn
