Thingy of the week x 3

OK - here it goes........

My first thingy is my all time favorite umbrella stroller. It's the Jeep all weather one. It delivers a smooth ride and is so durable. My favorite part is that the handles are taller. One of my biggest pet peeves are strollers with short handles. I know I'm tall, but come one stroller people a lot of other people are tall too. I paid about $30.00 for mine, but next time I would pay the extra $8.00 to get the reclining one with the cup holder. (They didn't have that one when I bought mine)

The next one I saw on my friend Britney's blog. She said that she loved it so I had to give it a try. Oh my....I am addicted to this stuff. You spray a wrinkly shirt and smooth it with your hands then either hang it or put it on and viola - the wrinkles disappear. They really do!! I HATE ironing so this one has been a lifesaver. Thank Britney for introducing me to this stuff :)

My last one today is the Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta. It has 3 times the fiber and added calcium and it still tastes great. It has been my favorite high fiber pasta that I have tasted so far. Beware though - it is still a white pasta, so this is not for the low carb lover.

I found this recipe on the box and tried it the other day. My family loved it!

Pasta with Broccoli Alla Romana

1 pkg Ronzoni Smart Taste Spaghetti
4 lean bacon slices
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain thoroughly. Crumble bacon; return to skillet.
2. Add onion and garlic; cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in spaghetti sauce; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cook 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, adding broccoli to pasta cooking water during last 3 minutes.
5. Drain pasta and broccoli well; toss with the hot sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.

I cut the recipe in half and it was more than enough for our family of four. ENJOY!
