'BOTW' Spinach Fettuccine with Artichokes and Sundried Tomatoes


The combination of sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and pasta are right up there at the top of my favorite flavor combinations.  I love the sweetness of the sundried tomatoes and when combined with pasta, salad or a warmed dish, they're just the best.

This week's 'Best of the Web' belongs to Whole Food's recipe for Spinach Fettuccine with Artichokes and Sundried Tomatoes.  So simple to make.  An elegant dish and goes perfect with a glass of red wine on a Friday night.....what do you think?!

Do you do anything on the dairy as the wife of a dairyman or just act like Martha Stewart? Would you give us a little info on the part you play on the dairy.

George, I do not have a "job" on the dairy. Right now I am taxi driver to my kids, cook, cleaner, etc. I also have a night job that I go to after tucking the kids in to bed.
Have a great evening! ~nancy

If you keep the farmer happy I think you are doing a good job. I know a farmers wife is always on call to run and pick up parts, do paper work and be on call for many other things. I would say you have a job.
