Do your kids love pasta? Mine do, especially my youngest, who is actually a bit of a picky eater and would live on nothing but pasta, biscuits, and Life cereal if I would let him!
Pasta is so versatile and easy, and the kids love it, so it really lends itself to all kinds of quick and yummy weeknight meals. I have been making this family favorite for a few years now, and in fact it was one of the first meals I ever blogged about!
Recently, I looked at what I had written back in early 2013 to refresh my memory on the recipe, and as the page loaded to my screen, I practically fell off my chair I was laughing so hard! WOW, what a difference a year makes! So I decided that I needed to do a complete overhaul and get that old post off of my blog.
Here is a little before and after collage to show you what I am talking about!
Do you think I have made a little progress with my photography? Just a bit, LOL! It is nice to realize that my efforts to improve my pictures have made a difference, even if my efforts to improve my younger son's food repertoire have not quite made as much progress. Oh well, I won’t give up. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming (like Dory in Finding Nemo)! If I keep trying, maybe someday he will even like Brussels sprouts!
Anyway, this Turkey Rotini Bake tastes as good as the (new) picture looks, so I definitely recommend it for a great weeknight meal for your family!

This looks delicious! Although I'd skip the mushrooms in mine.

Well, you've certainly come a long way with your photography! I can't think of any aspect of the two pictures that isn't improved!

Thanks, Edward! I have worked really hard to learn how to take better pictures! I still have lots to learn but it is so much fun to see the progress!
