| Beautiful Kale |
A steady rain falls outside our window and thick clouds obliterate the San Gabriel Mountains. It’s not a day to venture out for Christmas errands, it is a day to stay home in our most comfortable clothes warm, dry and relaxed. After a brief trip to the grocery store we settled in catching up on our rest and our chores.

| Perfect dinner to brighten a gray day |
On a gray day like this I wanted a meal that was full of holiday color to brighten our day and fill our stomachs. I think this pasta dish fits the bill. John likes a bit of spicy heat in his pasta but, the dish can easily be made milder with green pepper instead of Anaheim.
3/4 lb whole wheat penne pasta
Boil till al dente in salted water
