Dinner in the amount of time it takes to boil water and cook pasta?  Oh yeah!  This dish is perfect for a weeknight or a busy day when you need something on the plate fast but you want some wholesomeness also.

In the package that I received from Bella Sun Luci were julienned sun dried tomatoes and red peppers.  My sun dried tomato cooking usually leans towards Mediterranean cooking, but when I saw this package with the red peppers, I went South of the Border for inspiration.

I can’t believe it’s here, my honeymoon is ending…again.  I’ve spent the last of many Monday’s retelling the story of honeymoon trip through Europe on our 1998 Harley Davidson Super Glide.  We went through 11 different countries, we rode hard, ate well, drank much, loved lots and had the time of our lives.  If you are just now joining our journey, you can catch on our prep days here and here, and days one, two and three,four, five, part 1 of day six, part 2 of day six, day seven, day eight, day nine and day ten by following the colored text links.

Last time I posted Day 9 of our journey, we started off in Italy, McGyver wasn’t doing too well and we got to check out an Italian pharmacy.  We then made our way into Switzerland, we stayed the night in Oetz at the Post Hotel, a hotel that we found by chance on a previous trip.    We also continue to work on our “ABC’s of Touring” (completing the alphabet with town/country names).  If you are just now joining our journey, you can catch on our prep days here and here, and days one, two and three, four, five, part 1 of day six, part 2 of day six, day seven, day eight and day nine by following the colored text links.
