As someone who really appreciates pasta, I have to say, this Creamy farfalle with peas and bacon was tasty and very easy to make.

Well, I got some good news today. I’ve been accepted to the nursing program! God is soo good! I am very thankful, especially knowing how difficult it is for soo many who hope to get into nursing. God is gracious.

Well, I guess you can call this my celebration lunch. This good news calls for a 2-day celebration. Tomorrow I’m making vareniky and apple pie.
