Everyone in our house enjoyed the spaghetti and it made a ton. I added a big can of crushed tomatoes to the recipe because we all prefer a bit more sauce with the meat. But it was very meaty and a great recipe. And we have plenty of leftovers.
Some of the portions have been a little small - like the soup today - but tonight the whole 1 lb of pasta was too much. Don't get me wrong - we love leftovers in this house so there is no complaining here.
The soup turned out to not be so popular and this was the 1st time the girls took a thermos to school, which turned into a bit of a mess! Note to mothers - teach your children how to properly and tightly screw lids on their thermos!
After hearing the girls talk about the soup today, I confess that this could easily have been 'operator' error and not the recipe. But James and the girls complained about it being too 'soupy' - so I want to go back and see where I might have gone wrong.
In addition to the great meals so far blogging has added a whole new dimension and I find that it is opening a dialogue for me at work and with friends to talk about ways to provide great fresh meals for your family and in return we are getting some good ideas as well.
I appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Putnam to bring fresh eating into the daily lives of Florida's children and families and that our family gets to be a small part of that challenge has already been rewarding and we are only on Day 2!
See you all tomorrow and happy cooking!
