Wordless Wednesday… Ninja Spaghetti

January 28th, 2009

If you’ve read my Menu Plan Monday more than once, you’ll have noticed that I make Ninja Spaghetti just all the time. It’s my own creation… it’s culinary trickery.

And here are some photos so you can see for yourself the yumminess.

It starts off beautifully, right? There are bell peppers and onions and shredded carrots and edamame and spinach and Italian herbs.

Then, blend the whole thing. Add a can of crushed tomatoes and a small can of tomato paste. For extra veggie goodness, add a can of V8. It looks pretty awful now. You’ll be best served if you cover the pot at this point.

Seriously… your whole house is going to smell phenominal. And if they don’t see the yuckiness, they’re going to be eagerly anticipating dinner.

Add some pasta (and meat if you want), top with cheese and bake just until the cheese is all melty.

Veggie packed love. And only the mama knows.

When we had the cousins one weekend, I painted everyone’s nails - boys included. And I love this photo of their hands together. Eliza’s, obviously, are the tiny ones.

My Mike is on the right with his older brother, Chuck, on the left. Griff, at 2, is standing in awe, I’m sure. This photo was taken a few days after the funeral of my mother-in-law at the house the boys grew up in together. We had all gone over to their dad’s house to help him clean out the boys’ mom’s closet. In the process, we found these clothes in their dad’s closet. A light moment certainly helped ease that day.
