Dinner time is a three ring circus at our house. Anything that can make it easier for me is a blessing. I’ve heard some parents describe this time of day as the “witching hour” so I know I am not alone. It seems the kids all have a melt down every night when I’m trying to get dinner on the table. The baby is crying and the other two won’t stop fighting, nagging me for a snack or crying about one thing or another. They’re tired and hungry and impatient! Just recently, my little blessing came as Barilla Three Cheese Tortellini. I was able to get dinner on the table without pulling my hair out in the process. I love dinners that I can get started and do a couple of chores in between. Boiling the Tortellini allows me to put a basket of laundry away. One night I used a jarred red sauce mixed in with the pasta. Another less hectic night I made a white sauce from scratch. Both times, the kids actually enjoyed dinner and I didn’t hear any complaints. Another blessing!
