A peek Into My Kitchen: Rainbow Penne

Posted on by

With 2 hungry kids, one hungry husband and not enough time in the day, I am a sucker for one dish wonders. If I can get all of the parts of my balanced meal into one pot, one pan and one easily served dinner than I am one happy mama.

I threw this together last night at the last minute…when I discovered that we wouldn’t be going out for dinner after all and it was a big hit.

We had my son’s Music Together teacher, Danny, come to entertain the restless natives for a bit…many mini bagels and other finger foods were consumed by all–and then it was time for the piece de resistance–the Elmo cake that I had been icing at 3am the night before instead of getting some much-needed beauty sleep.
