Med Pasta (Delish!)

So my Annual Meeting for Futura was a great success!
We kicked it off with a Beer & Cheese tasting with my staff and a few hubbies at the Cheese Bar Wednesday night. With beer + cheese on the menu nothing can go wrong, right?
Right.

Drinking beer from a boot-The Wisconsin way!

Pre-karoake on the food tour!

Thursday we gathered at the Aloft Hotel in a bright sunny room where our franchise owners joined us and we had a productive meeting that inspired and motivated us all. We then went on Milwaukee Food Tour on foot, traipsing through the snow to some ultra Wisconsin hotspots. (I am sure the Floridian and Texans among us were thrilled by the snow and cold!) We even drank beer out of boots and my co-worker sang a fabulous rendition of Betty Davis eyes.

When I left the meeting on Friday I was beaming with accomplishment and humbled that I am the luckiest girl in the whole world when it comes to employees-I am pretty darn sure mine are the best.
Thanks girls-Love you to pieces!
I hope you are blessed in your work place as well…
XO,

Bree

–And here’s a quick, weeknight pasta dish!

Here’s What You Need:
Veggie Penne (1/2 box) (I love Barrilla’s)
Handful of broccoli florets (About 2 cups)
Handful of baby spinach, cut into strips
1 Chicken and Spinach sausage, sliced (like from Target- Archer Farms)
Handful of kalamata olives (About 3/4 cup)
Crumbled feta (1/3-2/3 cup)
Marinara (About 1 cup or so)

Here’s What You Do:
Make pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile preheat a pan over medium high and add chicken sausage. Once it starts to brown slightly add the broccoli, spinach, and olives for about 2 minutes. Add marinara and feta and then stir in pasta. Add a dash of red pepper flakes if desired.

Kid Tip:
Set aside a portion with noodles, tiny bits of spinach, and marinara. Add parmesan. Serve the broccoli on the side for them as finger food!
