Pasta dinner & wine

Tonight I had planned to make a turkey lasagna, but my whiny DH said he wanted fried chicken nuggets instead.....yes that is quite unbelievable to me also!!! But whatever, no need for my taste buds to suffer because of him! I decided instead to make a pasta bake, less steps involved!

First, I made a batch of turkey meatballs. Then I layered the meatballs, sauce, a variety of peppers, baby spinach, uncooked pasta, Parmesan & mozzarella cheeses! Placed in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes which gave me the perfect opportunity to try a new red wine....

It came out pretty good for a makeshift recipe! The wine was just OK, I really am not a wine kind of person....A cosmo martini would have worked better!

Isn't Spring Grand?

Don't you just love this time of year, when everything is sprouting, blooming, growing, renewing!

I increased my bedding area this year. I had been working on it myself, digging it up, yard by yard, but decided this year to just pay someone else to finish it in one fell swoop! I am so happy I did!

So now I have the entire width of my lot for vegetables & the area gets full sun all day also. I also have another 10 ft of bedding area on the side that I am using for flowers.

Here are some random pics so far:
