Every family has traditions when it comes to food. For me, it was very rare that we did not sit down as a family for dinner each night growing up. Now, with busy lifestyles, family dinner time seems to be a thing of the past. And although we do not have kids yet, my husband and I make it a point to sit together nearly every night for dinner, no matter what our schedules entail. Full disclosure: I am typically not making a “from scratch” meal each night. With both of our hectic calendars, I am constantly trying to come up with quick recipes and shortcuts to cut down on my time in the kitchen.
If you have not noticed by now, my love for pasta goes pretty deep — I usually try to incorporate a pasta dish at least once into our weekly menu. Since making a batch of homemade sauce on a weeknight is not an option, you can usually find me in the pasta sauce aisle searching for a sauce that has that homestyle flavor in a jar.
