This pasta dish can be ready in under 20 minutes, yep not kidding! Basically while the pasta is boiling, you just need to chop up a few ingredients and get them ready to stir in the pasta. Cherry tomatoes, I just halved and I roughly chopped the parsley leaves. Once the pasta is done cooking you will want to drain it and run it under cold water. Running the pasta under cold water not only stops the noodles from cooking more, but it will also cool them down for the dressing to be added in....

Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles) with Lemon-Garlic Spicy Shrimp I love a good spiralized veggie dish once the weather starts getting warmer.

He explained to me that Maui is all nature, there are tons of shacks and places to eat on the side of the road, whereas Oahu was a combination of the shacks as well as tons of restaurants in Waikiki....

We celebrated my son’s 7th birthday over the weekend in Disneyland. We had an absolute blast! I love spending time with my family and getting away from everyday life for a little bit.
