I have a lot of tomatoes right now. I planted a couple of tomato plants in the garden this year and just had to pick them all due to the frost at night now (boo short Alberta summers!). Quite a few were not ripe yet, so they are ripening on the window sill. A lot were ready though, so we are having tomato everything for days.. starting with fresh tomato basil sauce with gluten free penne. This pasta is one of my top favs. You have to be careful wit a lot of packaged/prepared gluten free products because a lot of the time they are just as processed (if not more so) than the gluten containing variety. Not the case with this pasta.. it's made from whole organic ingredients. Plus, you'd never even know it's gluten free, it tastes and has a very similar texture as the real deal.

I haven't been blogging as much as I thought I would or as much as I would like to. I love writing on my blog and I'm actually pleasantly surprised and super grateful for a amount of readers I have. To be honest I find the cyber world a little overwhelming. Besides blogging I have facebook, twitter, instagram, and snapchat.. so I'm going to make a schedule where I allow myself time to catch up with the digital world, but know when to turn it off.
Life is just so busy right now, but in a good way... I love my studies, my current full time job, running and riding my bike outside, aaaand my new kitten; meet Sitka!
