Feeling much better now and decided to try out a new recipe tonight: One Pot Lemon Pasta. This one is not a keeper for us. I made as is, using 1 large lemon instead of two as suggested in the notes. I also used my regular gluten-free pasta but don't think it turned out as good as regular pasta would have, although the recipe said gluten-free could be used. I had high hopes for this recipes, thought it would be a nice dish that was quick and easy. The lemon flavor was good but myself and Hubby felt that the sun-dried tomatoes and lemons didn't taste great together. It just seemed like an odd combo to us. Also, I had to cook my pasta longer than the recipe said (another 3-4 minutes on high to get the water gone) and my pasta ended up a gluey consistency; maybe due to the lack of gluten, not sure. I ate it but already not looking forward to it for lunch tomorrow :( Hoping it will be better, fingers crossed.
Sorry for not posting anything lately but I was pretty much sick for an entire week :( I teach preschool and joke that I caught the cootie plague; I think I really did this time :) I was in bed by 7 or 8 most days and ate very little all week. Some days there was one meal only, others there was just picking here and there. Nothing worth blogging about and no good pics of course, unless my countless glasses of orange juice count :) Feeling much better now and decided to try out a new recipe tonight: One Pot Lemon Pasta.

I sprinkled a little nutritional yeast on top to serve, keeping it a vegan dish as well as gluten-free. Update: This recipe was actually better the next day. The flavors seemed to combine and it wasn't gluey/slimy; seems to have dried up a bit (in a good way) and was therefore better.
