Pasta Poosta & a Teal Ottoman (lunch date w/ Red)

If you know me in person, you know that I get crabby when I’m hungry.  Do you, too?

I can’t concentrate, I get tired, I turn into a monster, and my creative edge disappears.

So, I’m inviting you over for some of my “Pasta Poosta”,

then we’ll hit Target so I can show you a cool teal ottoman I found.

Are you in?

Lets eat.

 “Pasta Poosta” is a simple pasta dish that is one of Rick’s favorite’s, and my little Valerie loves it too.

I actually gave her some in her thermos today.

It’s also healthy, fast, and easy.

For the full “Pasta Poosta” recipe head on over to Debbie Doo’s where I shared it at her place this past week.

If you’re interested in more tomato family recipes,

just click on this tomato collage and I will take you there too.

Now that our bellies are full, lets get out of here and go to Target!

My Mom & I enjoy an occasional “Target Tuesday”.

Sometimes we find the coolest stuff at the right price.

Plus I get 5% off every time I use my Target card.

I like that the money comes directly out of my bank account, so it’s not like a credit card.

Let’s head on over to the home decor section…my favorite.

oooo…lookie what I see.

That teal ottoman is gorgeous!

It would go perfectly in our “Winter Beach Lodge Living Room“.

I wonder how much it is? (holding breath)

Normally this baby is $49.99!

Too much.

Wait, it’s on sale, for  $37.49 [in store].

Score! (crowd roars)

Will it fit in the car?  Lets go see. (you may need to find another ride home -haha)

I think you can see that it fit perfectly.

Not only in the car, but in our living room.

It really POPS!  It’s a little furry too, so it’s cozy.

Here’s another angle…

Boohya!

Wow…I love it so much, sometimes I just rub it and stare at it.

My kids think I’m wacky.

What is it about teal?  It’s a fun color for sure.

Speaking of fun…thank you for tagging along today.

Lets do this again.

Next time ,you cook.

Before I leave you I wanted to introduce you to my new DIY DECOR monthly contributor…

Meet pretty Jessica from Decor Adventures.

 Jessica and I met recently and realized we had a lot in common.

Not only do we both love to decorate, we are both from NY.

When I visited her site I was immediately impressed with her style and skills.

Jessica will be joining us very soon on a monthly basis (this month!)

I can’t wait to see what she brings us.

Until then, visit Decor Adventures Facebook page and tell her I sent you.
