I never thought I would be happy to have a crazy hectic schedule. But, I did a little happy dance when the boys went back to school.

I’ll admit that I was terribly bored with us at home ALL of the time. But now, I really don’t mind the long carpool lines and massive time spent running the boys to all their extra curricular activities. A year ago I would have been stressed out getting home late every night. Now, I am thankful that things are somewhat back to normal.

Of course I still have to deal with dinner each night—but I don’t stress about that either! I create a menu each week and have a plan in place so that dinner is quick and easy. To do that, I make sure to keep convenient options like Barilla Ready Pasta on hand.

Barilla Ready Pasta is ready in 60 seconds. Toss with a little sauce or add your favorite ingredients to make the perfect pasta dish in a flash.  You get the same great taste and texture as regular pasta…it’s just ready in a fraction of the time. On a busy night, it’s an absolute necessity for me!

Barilla Ready Pasta is all natural, has no preservatives and is non GMO certified. Look for FOUR varieties of Barilla Ready Pasta at your local Publix:
