My son wanted a burger, I wanted pasta, and I kind of had the last word. But, finally, we both got what we wanted: ground chicken, rice pasta, onions, garlic, a light drizzle of grape seed oil, and little feta. So I decided to make this fusilli chicken and spinach recipe.
We’re still counting down the days until he graduates this Friday. It is hard to believe he is finishing high school already when It feels like I just took him to Pre-K. He says he’s a man now; I say don’t rush it. But, deep down, I know he’s right. I’ll never let go.
