Hello!!!! How was your day? Mine was good except my glands are still swollen despite the ibuprofen I took 3 times today. I’m probably a goner. Who wants to take over RER when I die?
I made rookie mistake #1 and went to Trader Joe’s after work hungry. So this happened. So.so.good.bad.
At least dinner was healthy – tilapia, brown rice and roasted brussel sprouts. Love.
Brussels Make Muscles so eat up!!!* (*This statement is not approved by the FDA. And this pic is from last year. And I’m a mess.)
Remember last week when I used my awesome Runaroni pasta to make dinner?
Fun fact: Pasta tastes better when its in the shape of runners and shoes! It’s science.
I got a lot of questions asking, “Where can I buy this pasta?!”
Unfortunately, it’s not being sold right now
But, my friends at Brooks are giving one lucky RER reader a bag of the Runaroni!

I just HAVE to win the Runaroni for my middle grandson, Jayson. He’s in non-stop action all the time…running, pogo stick, scooter…but he’s the pickiest eater in the world! He does, however, love pasta, and I think that the little shoes might encourage him to eat his dinner. I will give my daughter the recipe for Runaroni Pasta so she can get good carbs AND some veggies and protein into this young man, too. And thanks! 🙂
