THE PIN IS OUT !

wahoooo ! Still in the boot for one more week... that was unexpected. I took my lonely right foot Asic in hoping hoping hoping. But oh well. One more week... I can survive. (toe pic at the bottom... nice hole in the top... and be nice, I know I know, I need a pedicure, but hey... it's been wrapped up in bandages for 4 weeks ! blech)

The Boston Marathon is this weekend. Amazing. Just FYI - per the Boston Marathon website, while frowned upon, you can in fact use your iPod, unless you are an athlete eligible for prize money. Alrighty then... most runners will have their iPods blaring !

Totally been wanting pasta lately... check out this recipe. I might try this one day this weekend :




Mac 'n cheese doesn't need to be a fluorescent shade of orange to stand up to the competition. It tastes AMAZING, and it's as simple as A-B-C, 1-2-3, Do-Re-Mi. (P.S. The cheesy cauliflower works perfectly here -- trust us!)

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Blend Rotini Pasta (or another whole-wheat or whole-wheat-blend pasta)
Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Prepare pasta according to the instructions on the box, and then drain well and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the cauliflower & sauce package in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 12 - 16 minutes, until sauce has melted and cauliflower is hot.

Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked pasta. Set aside. Unwrap cheese wedges and place in a small microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, and then add to the bowl.

Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the Laughing Cow cheese is evenly distributed and the pasta and cauliflower are coated in cheese sauce. If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
