Spinach Yogurt Pesto Pasta with Sausages

One of my dearest food blogging girlfriends, Jessica of My Baking Heart, is throwing a Virtual Cooking Party hosted by Stonyfield. She gathered 6 of her foodie girlfriends including myself to cook up a tasty dish using Stonyfield yogurt. I was happy to oblige because yogurt is one food group that we constantly eat everyday at our house.

Elena and Emilio love yogurt with a capital Y! We sometimes eat plain yogurt with a spoonful of jelly, or I bake it with my favorite baked cranberry & apple oatmeal, use it to bake a batch of naan or sometimes as a garnish on top of my soups. Stonyfield is a great company that not only does their best to protect kids from pesticides but are also passionate about the importance of not using GMOs. They are obsessively organic and purely delicious which is important for feeding my two little foodies and myself. Visit Stonyfield.com for more information.

Happy New Year!

I know it's been a little quiet here, and I never got the chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or recap the best recipes of the year. It's because we spent the holidays with my in-laws in Florida, and I thought that I would have time to blog while there and have some free time. It never happened (the blogging that is), but there was plenty of free time. The kids loved the spending time with their grandparents, and Eric and I got to take a much needed break from the busyness of our hectic schedule, too.

I hope you all celebrated the holidays in whatever way fits you best. My favorite New Year tradition is having a fancy steak dinner at home. Eric and I cooked together for our tasty dinner, salsa danced in our living room with our kiddos and watched a funny movie till midnight. We even drank an entire bottle of wine. I highly recommend watching "We're the Millers" if you haven't seen it already, I might have laughed my face off.
