    Our spaghetti box says 8 minutes to reach "al dente", it's whole wheat, yeah… right. It needs to cook for over 15 minutes to be even the slightest bit palatable. Never go with what boxes or packages say. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, then use a fork to scoop some out & taste. Chef always knows best! And you know what your family likes. Never do this blindly on what you think might be best… always taste!

    I see you are using your can opener. I kept having an issue with my electric can opener and with the regular hand can opener (carpal tunnel and arthritis) so I purchased one like the one that you use now. Finally! Able to open cans again. I am going to get my sister one for Christmas in July.

    I know that it feels like kids grow up so fast and I love how you settle and enjoy each stage with your children. Having your children in the kitchen with you preparing food is such a special one on one time. Xx

    HI Amy, if you ever make homemade chicken broth, save those onion tops and bottoms that you sliced off. You can keep a Ziploc in the freezer and just keep adding to it each time you're cutting up an onion. The tops and bottoms flavor the broth beautifully and it's a great use of those end pieces (same with celery and carrots). Strain it all out when the broth is done. Just a tip since everything is getting "through the roof" expensive!! :). I watched another Youtuber doing that this past year and I couldn't believe that I had never thought of it.
