I was going to try Annabel's version of Lasagna - but I have a Creative Memories Workshop here tonight, and had 3 shows worth of invites to get out today...plus make the house presentable and make a Greek Cheese Torta to serve my guests. So, instead, we are having Spinach and Cheese Ravioli from Costco.
We love that stuff. It's in the refrigerator section at Costco - it's fresh, organic pasta. It's my "go to" recipe for busy days. I serve it with an Organic Pasta Sauce, and fresh parm to grate on top. DS gobbles it down - and I feel good knowing he is eating a balanced, healthy meal...even if I didn't really cook!

I am trying to get my act together for Denver tomorrow. I shouldn't even be on here, but had to check my bank balance, so I dropped in for a quick fix.
Dinner is leftover chicken parm, cut up, adding some mushrooms, onions, and leftover artichokes, and tossing it on some pasta. Husband won't eat this while I am gone, and I hate to waste food.
