Costco & Pasta Prima Butternut Squash

I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with the Pasta Prima Butternut Squash Ravioli from Costco. It is AMAZING. REALLY. The flavor of the butternut squash really comes through and the pasta is so pretty with it's red and white stripes. At Costco you get them refrigerated and divided in half into two "servings". One half of the package was enough for the two of us to eat two meals of. I have only made it one way so far, but I have lots of wonderful ideas on how to make more of this in the future. It works great as a main course or a side dish and have I mentioned how tasty they are?



The raviolis themselves take only a few minutes to heat through in boiling water and then you just toss with your favorite sauce. I used a plain jar of alfredo sauce and mixed it with some apple chipotle sauce to make a creamy sweet and spicy sauce that I simmered to thicken back up. Next time I'm thinking butter and sage sauce, which seems to be a popular way to go. I think you have so many ways to make this it's really a no brainer. Go to COSTCO. BUY THE BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI. COOK IT. EAT IT. ENJOY!

Speaking of Bees - How About a Little BURT'S BEES!?!

I'm super excited to have the opportunity to participate in the Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin campaign. I am already a fan of Burt's Bees, so the chance to try out the new line is exciting! I just received my Bzz Kit in the mail and it included the Sensitive Cleanser and the Sensitive Cream. So far, after one day, I'm liking it. I like that there is no scent as I am sensitive to scents. It feels nice going on, smooth and creamy. I will definitely update after I have used it for a little while.

They also sent samples of the Sensitive Cream & coupons so I'll be sharing those with my friends! You should definitely check out the Burt's Bees Facebook Page for info on their natural products. You can even complete a skincare Q&A to see if the sensitive line is right for you! Check it out!
