Halloween Haul! 2018 Edition

A strong haul for the kids mostly driven by Jack!  He leveraged his running skills and ran solo through the neighborhood with me trailing behind monitoring.

This is the first year I recall packaged Dove bars (top left).  Twix seem down.  Hershey's, Reese's and M&M's are holding their own.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Drownproofing Class

Dad would often speak of his drownproofing class at GT.  He paid Bill and I to learn the technique and put it to the test.  I've done the same with Jack and will with Elle too!

Creamy Sausage Rigatoni

Steph made this and it was incredible....

What You Need
1 lb. rigatoni pasta, uncooked
1 lb. Italian sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz.) CLASSICO Marinara with Plum Tomatoes & Olive Oil Pasta Sauce
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Make It
Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
Meanwhile, remove casings from sausage if necessary; crumble sausage into large skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook on medium heat until evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, cook and stir 30 sec. Add pasta sauce and cream cheese; mix well. Cook on low heat 3 to 5 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring frequently.
Drain pasta. Add to pasta sauce mixture; mix lightly. Top with basil and Parmesan.
