Clams with Sausage & Cannellini

Clams with Sausage & Cannellini

This past weekend I celebrated my 28th birthday. It was a pretty laid back kind of birthday. Sleeping late, with Chuck and Brody, a good breakfast, a trip to the grocery store, 60 degree weather, all came together to make a pretty awesome day for me.

People sometimes thin that I’m crazy for wanting to spend my whole birthday cooking, but when you love to do something then it’s really enjoyable and it doesn’t feel like work at all. Chuck took me to the store (I totally wore sweatpants and slippers, because I could) and we picked up everything I needed to make this dish. I had originally planned to bake bread, and a few other things, but ended up taking a nap on the couch instead; I’m not even mad.

This dish though, it was perfect. A few ingredients combined in a way that’s just divine. I found the original recipe in a recent issue of bon Appetite, but used the beans instead of homemade pasta, because slow carb. Also using beans took a whole bunch of steps out of the recipe, so it came together in less than 30 minutes giving me enough time to toss some arugula in a lemon dijon dressing for a side dish. It’s kind of perfect for a weeknight meal don’t you think? I do.

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing problems with your site.
    It looks like some of the text within your posts are running off
    the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this
    is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my internet browser
    because I’ve had this happen before. Cheers

    Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally
    different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
