Like most kids, my kids love Pasta. We have pasta night once a week. With this frequency, I am always trying to creating new pasta creations. This recent one might be their favorite one so far.

Her daddy made her favorite Surf and Turf Fried Rice. This is one of the easiest meals to make on our Blackstone.
