Sun-Dried Tomato & White Bean Spaghetti with Kale Pesto

I am so sad you guys! Christmas is over!

I have yet to take down decorations. I think I am in denial. I went to light my favorite Williams-Sonoma Evergreen scented candle only to discover it was at the end of the wick and wouldn’t light. I almost cried.

Mike goes back to work on Monday and so do I. I am not ready. It is back to reality. Calories count in real life and sleeping in until 10AM is not allowed anymore.

I am kind of holding on hope for a giant snow storm so that when Monday comes, I get one more day.

The past two days I have been back in the kitchen, cooking up recipes for the blog. I feel like I squandered all this free time over the past two weeks by snoozing on the couch and ordering take-out.

I whipped up this little gem for dinner yesterday. I swear if you know somebody who can sub in to my real life just for one day for me, I will make you guys lots more recipes like this!

Anybody?
