I love watching the Doctors. Today they had a very large debate about introducing your children to fast food. Look, Scott and I think being healthy is a great way to go. We take daily vitamins, we try to buy the lesser fat products, but let’s be honest, we can’t cook all the time. This is America and we know that we are all busy. What is wrong with the drive through every once in a while? Introduce it to them now and let them know that every so often it is ok. You’re not going to die from eating something terrible once a month. Ok, onto our recipe for the day!
Scott and I made creamy crock-pot tortellini soup yesterday! The recipe is super easy so here we go!
