1. This past Sunday, I made spaghetti & meatballs with spinach, and it was absolutely delicious! I like to add spinach to my spaghetti along with fresh garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, brown sugar, onions, bell peppers, and a dash of hot sauce. I made such a big pot of it that I just finished it off last night!
I don’t think one can go wrong with spaghetti. It’s relatively easy. It’s convenient. It’s semi-healthy (depending on how you prepare it), and it lasts long (well, if you don’t have many people to cook for, that is).
2. The next book I began reading is the one you see above by the incomparable Viola Davis. I have a feeling, Finding Me is going to be an incredible read . . . something pulled me toward it, and now I am locked in and ready to be its willing partner for the next one to two weeks.
I love Viola! She’s amazing at what she does; acting and producing. She also has multiple awards to show for her excellence. IMHO, she definitely deserves more.

Thank you! The book gets going from the gate! It’s so emotionally packed and triggering!
But I’m here for it, though. It’s going to have to be one that I truly savor and take my time with because it’s A LOT! She’s been through so much and I’m only on chapter 7!

Thanks for introducing me to Viola Davis. Spinach is a must. I also add a quarter to a half teaspoon of cinnamon to spaghetti sauce.

I bet that helps cut the acidity as well.
And, you’re welcome. She’s such a powerhouse! One of my favorite actresses.

The sugar cuts the acidity of the tomato sauce just a little bit. Hot sauce is just a tiny bit of spice.

I love spaghetti with spinach. And that fresh garlic is EVERYTHING! One of my suggestions when I do nutrition education sessions is to get vegetables in where you can to include adding them to your favorite dishes. I love spinach and always have frozen spinach on hand.
I am also looking forward to reading Viola Davis’ new book. Enjoy!
