Spaghetti Bolognese


Welcome back!

This week seems to have a mexican theme for The Fresh 20's Meal plans...
Super excited because in my house, my kids LOVE this food!

Monday was a Spaghetti Bolognese. What does this have to do with mexican cuisine? Well, not much, but the sauce did have cumin in it...

And I am going to admit something publicly here. Because we are all friends right?
I am not going to be using the gluten free noodles any more. I know, I know. I am doing the gluten free menu right?!? Well truth is, my family just doesnt like them, and I am throwing them out and it seems wasteful! So if and when I can, I will substitute the noodles for rice, if not then I will use real italian noodles.

So in the future when you see photos, I WILL let you know which is which!

That being said, I DID use white rice noodles with this recipe. I thought it was great! But the rest of the fam, not so much. We did have a guest for dinner, my brothers AMAZING girl friend, who had baby sat our kids for us today. And I forced her to try it. She didnt seem to mind - but my amazingly picky brother stopped by... Then the fun began! This man, doesnt eat anything, I mean ANYTHING! He hates veggies! And I thought for SURE he would NOT eat the noodles. HE scarfed the plate down!! And the recipe had a cup of shredded carrots! He ate it!! Yowza! That is saying a lot! haha!!!

Anyways, here is the photo I took of my plate before I scarfed MY plate down!
