Good morning!! How was your weekend? Are you and the family ready for Halloween? I am not sure how many trick or treaters we will get at our new home, but I bought plenty of candy to be prepared. With my luck, there will be a lot left over and I will be eating it.

This weekend, we watched football, baseball and I even got a bit of crafting done. The holidays are right around the corner and I am trying to get caught up. If you are having a busy day, this Southwestern One Pot Pasta is a great dish for your dinner rotation. It all cooks in one pot making preparation and clean up easy – and we love easy!
