I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! We sure did!

Now, I’m trying not to eat my weight in KitKats and peanut butter cups but it’s hard, guys. So, so hard… #thestruggleisreal 😉

I did manage to get a lot accomplished today though in the midst of my sugar high!

I hit up Homegoods and Target this morning to dig through the Halloween clearance. Do you do that? I do it every year!

Most of my decorations are bought the day after the holiday. I’ve snagged some really awesome deals that way!

Then I put all my Halloween decorations away 🙁

I was almost too tired to do anything else but remembered I had made this really delicious pasta last week and wanted to share it with you guys!

My daughter LOVES spinach and artichoke dip. So I wanted to try it out in pasta form and it was super tasty!

I added some spicy seasoned grilled chicken to it, but you don’t have to that if you don’t want to…

Can we take a minute to admire my new grill pan, though. 

I can’t believe I’ve lasted this long without one. Usually I just fire up my outdoor grill but having this as an option has been SO convenient!

It’s perfect for grilling anything from steak to salmon and anything in between!

Here’s the (Grill Pan)
