A bowl of pasta shared with friends always makes me feel better! It’s rainy and dreary in Chicago today, but when I popped over to my friend’s house and she whipped up a chunky tomato sauce with basil and onions and poured it over whole wheat penne and served it up to our hungry kids and me – we were in a warm, sunny place! Food has a comforting, social quality that I love. We chatted about how if you serve pasta in a bowl, preferably a small one, it’s even better — as you don’t eat as much, but you feel just as satisfied on LESS. Thanks for controlling my portion, my friend. You know I wanted seconds, but I was MORE than content…
I agree that using the right sized-container makes all the difference in portion control. Smaller is better!
Absolutely! Hot soup and company of friends is what you need to lift your spirits up on a rainy day!
Yes – isn’t it amazing how food fills our spirits with joy! I love it. Thanks for your comment!
I love the idea of making seasoning blend. I made some about a month ago and I really do use it, I am out of it and ready to make some more. Thanks all for the great idea.
