So it’s my birthday! Not just any birthday, I’m officially thirty. I have mixed emotions about turning thirty, I’m happy and shocked. Shocked for how fast time is going by and happy because I’m blessed to have lived this long. I’m definitely not pouting that I’m older, but currently throwing myself a little pity party because I can’t have the night off to go out and celebrate. Which is unusual for myself, every year enjoying a nice quiet dinner with my family is typically all that my heart desires.

A luscious creamy sauce, crispy bacon paired with cheesy tortellini is a phenomenal combination.

While surviving being a mommy to two adorable stinkers, that fill my heart with joy and drive me completely bonkers all at once, I’m feeling humbled and thankful to hold them in my arms. The tiredness from being a Mama leaves me thirsty for an evening to myself where I will muster up all the sanity I can, while wearing makeup and jeans like a real person. It could rain, snow, sleet or be shinning so bright that day, but no matter what the weather is like I’m going to enjoy every last minute of my adult time. No screaming or crying for one afternoon will defiantly lift my spirits. Then I can go back home and squeeze my babies so hard like I haven’t seen them in weeks. Recharging myself to be the best mommy I can, until another break is desperately due.

Birthdays are all about favorite things, this Asiago Tortellini Bake is mine and also my families favorite recipe. A yummy combination of garlic, creamy asiago, crispy bacon, grilled chicken and pasta filled with delicious cheese. To make the dish even more perfect top with additional asiago cheese before baking.
