Creamy Spaghetti: Recipe

Creamy spaghetti is one of my favourite spins on traditional spaghetti. While I do not really like tomato sauce, this replaces it with a creamy sauce. My husband is not too fond of it; he doesn't care for pasta; but between the kids and I, we love it!  Ingredients:  1 to 1 1/2 pounds of ground mild Italian sausage  1 bell pepper diced 1/4 onion diced 1 tbsp minced garlic 2 tsp Italian seasoning  10 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes (or mild tomatoes if you don't want the spice) 3 cups chicken broth or stock 10 oz dried spaghetti  pinch of black pepper pinch of salt 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 mozzarella cheese  Directions: Heat the olive oil in a medium pan Combine the bell pepper and onion in when the oil is warm for two minutes, then add the garlic Mix in the Italian sausage until it is brown. Break into small chunks while it is cooking Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, tomatoes, broth/stock and dried noodles Push the noodles dow

The Chicken Project

 Alright! So we talked about it for years and we always told ourselves we would be getting a farm, that did not happen. But we did still get the chickens!!!  While I am sooo late in writing this, like 5 months later, the chickens are amazing! We originally bought four chicks. All females. Well at this point we still have all four hens! They have been laying eggs for a few months. They did great thru the hot summer here!   We named them some odd names. Well kind of like food names . Nugget, meatball, dumpling and squeakers (she is quite loud!) The kids love the chickens! They are so sweet and Logan loves to hold them! Rosella, well she is a bit timid with them but she loves them as well. We let them out of their coup to wander the grass for a bit when we can.
