Yum.
That's the only word to describe this recipe. All my favorite things in one spot- pasta, olives, spicy flavor, and goat cheese. It can't really get much better than that. Ok, I may have gone a little overboard with the cheese, yolo. This recipe is creamy, hearty, filling, and delicious. I don't want to ruin it anymore with my poor writing skills.Can you believe it's already Thursday? Can't wait for some fun celebrations this weekend. I will finally be reunited with some of my old phone center friends- it's been too long!

Your favorite tree ornament? This is such a tough one! I would have to say it's a tie between a homemade ice skate my mom made when I was younger and matching Bert and Ernie ornaments. I wish I had pictures to share!
