Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Review and Pic of Penne with Brie, Mushrooms and Arugula

Okay, so this ended up making 8 cups.  That means it is 7 WW points per cup.  They suggest that this serves four but I only had the one cup and was fine.  It depends on how many points you want or need for the day.  I choose to make this at the beginning of the week since it was a higher point meal.  I am going to figure out the nutritionals on my own and see how it compares to what was written in the paper.
Chris and I really liked this.  I gave the kids the noodles without the veggies b/c they don't like onions, mushrooms or arugula.  They both liked the noodles and cheese mixture of course.  I would make this again.  There are a ton of leftovers so it might be better if you had company or a larger family or just kids that would dig it.
