Move that body: 3-mile walk (Miles for the win!)
Look what came out of my garden!
Beautiful, juicy, ripe tomatoes. Lots of them. They were just perfect for roasting and throwing in a make-up-as-you-go Greek-inspired pasta.
Say it with me: Mmmm.
By the way, that smile isn’t just because the food tasted good. I was smiling because Miles stayed sleeping long enough for me to eat. I swear that boy has a sixth sense to start crying just as I’m about to eat.

Mark and I were big fans of this recipe, and it was a great way to use our summer “harvest.” What’s your favorite way to use your garden veggies?
