Wishing you a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!

I love finding people on Instagram to follow. I've been following Babs from @brunchwithbabs for a while now. Babs is popular on Instagram and is a mom of four and grandmother of eight, who loves sharing her recipes and wisdom. Some of you might remember when I shared this post about Babs back in April. If you like easy recipes and tips, I recommend you follow Babs on Instagram at @brunchwithbabs.
Over the summer Babs had a Bootcamp where she shared some of her food shopping lists, recipes, and tips.
When I saw this recipe for One-Pot Broccoli Pasta and I knew I wanted to try it. I usually make broccoli rabe with pasta for dinner as it's a family favorite. This method that Babs shares for making broccoli pasta is so easy to prepare and tastes delicious.
My husband and I liked this pasta dish and I'd love to share the recipe with you.
You can see below the broccoli and pasta cooking in one pot. I've never done this before and I always cooked them separately. Cooking both in one pot saves time and is so easy to cook this way.
The pasta is all cooked and ready to eat.
ONE-POT BROCCOLI PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound penne pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
8 cups broccoli florets
juice of 1/2 lemon (or more, to taste)
1/2 cup Romano cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Boil a large pot of water. When it comes to a boil add two tablespoons of salt. Add the pasta and the broccoli and cook for 9 minutes, until al dente.
Before straining, reserve one cup of pasta water. Strain pasta and broccoli.
With the empty pot on medium heat, add in 2 tablespoons olive oil and the minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Re-add pasta and broccoli, stir. Add the rest of the olive oil and reserved pasta water.
Add 1/2 cup Romano cheese and mix. Top with lemon juice and combine. Ready!
NOTE: For the pasta: I used Trader Joe's Brown Rice & Quinoa Fusilli Pasta.

I enjoy crocheting during the winter months. I thought I'd share with you some easy projects to make for the holidays or the upcoming winter months.
I made this crocheted infinity scarf last year. This is an easy scarf to crochet using Yarnspirations Caron Latte Cakes yarn. I bought my yarn at Michaels craft store. This type of yarn is soft and has the look of fun fur mixed in with it. Do any of you remember fun fur from many years ago? My mom used to knit scarves with this type of furry yarn.
I made these crochet fingerless gloves back in 2019. I crocheted them for my daughter, her friends, for family members, for myself, and for the church group, I used to belong to for charity crochet. These are simple and easy to crochet and they make the perfect gifts for the holidays.
I love making small crochet projects like the crochet face scrubbies I made back in 2019. These scrubbies can be used with soap or with a facial cleanser to wash your face. You can make these scrubbies in different colored cotton yarn and make them into gifts with soap and a makeup bag.
I enjoy crocheting coasters and I made these boho coasters back in May. This is another simple crochet project using cotton yarn. I made mine with white yarn but colored cotton yarn would like nice too. The coasters are great to use for a mug, a glass, or a teacup.
I also shared last year some of these holiday crochet projects that you might like to make. Anyone of these projects would make a great last minute gift for Christmas.
I hope you enjoy some of these projects for the winter months.
