Book Suggestions
1) Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It's a great book, one of my favorites. The movie is also good, but not as complete as the book. They really don't develop some of the best characters!
2) Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. She is my favorite author!. If you haven't read any start with Something Borrowed. Its her first book and by far my favorite! Heart of the Matter is great though!

New To Blogging...
Inspired by my friends Amy Goodrow (great recipe blog site) and Jessica Liesemeyer (family/baby site) I decided to start one of my own. I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to have on my site since I don't have any children and I am only beginning to explore the world of cooking new things, but I can assure you it will be entertaining. Most likely a mix of house projects/recipes/random thoughts, etc.
Thanks to my friend Amy, my first post will include a great recipe she shared with me from her site. I made it on Sunday for my mom and husband and they both thought it was delicious. Try it out for yourself.
Roasted Red Pepper & Sausage Penne
1 sweet onion, cut in wedges
1 medium zucchini, cut in big wedges
1 red bell pepper, cut in big wedges
1 pint button mushrooms, stemmed
2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, washed and dried
2 cloves garlic, smashed (it says 2, I'd use 4 next time, I love garlic though)
1 lb hot turkey sausage links
1/4 cup white wine
1 lb whole wheat penne, cooked according to package;
1/2 cup pasta water reserved
Freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl, toss the onion, zucchini, pepper and mushrooms with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast, until caramelized, about 30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through cooking time. In a small bowl add the tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil. Toss to coast and season with salt and pepper. Add to the baking sheet at the halfway point of cooking, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, spray the pan with cooking spray and add the turkey sausage links. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, slice the links and return to the pan. Increase the heat to high and deglaze the pan with the wine.
When the vegetables have cooked, cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Add the vegetables and any pan juice to the sausage in the skillet. Toss in the cooked penne, adding the reserved pasta water, if needed, to moisten. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and serve in bowls topped with Parmesan.
I loved it, Nathan loved it and my Mom even made it for dinner the following night! :) ENJOY!
