Mmm...eucalyptus and lavender

This recipe today is summertime cooking at its finest. Meaning it’s easy. And quick. And uses fresh garden ingredients.

Baby’s three favorite foods include pasta:


Blueberry pancakes:


And candle wax.





Uh,  let’s stick with pasta. Six ingredients, less than 20 minutes- you got this.

-1 box rotini (I used whole grain- any kind of pasta will work)
-1 pint (~2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved
-1/2 cup torn fresh basil
-6 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into ½” chunks
-3 tablespoons balsamic reduction
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-Salt and pepper to taste

Boil pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cool water. Add remaining ingredients. Stir to evenly coat. This is a super versatile recipe and I’ve made many variations- add fresh spinach, grilled chicken, additional vegetables- whatever you’d like!
