Spicy Sausage Pasta

I am going to annoy you to no end by being yet another reminder to go vote. Being For the Love of Dessert :)...I will be keep my political affiliations to myself but encourage you all, regardless of who you prefer, to vote. Why? Because we can and there is something wonderful about that.

Though I have to agree with most of my friends in that I am by far tired of the abundance of political messages (other than the encouragement to vote) on my Facebook feed- I AM OVER IT. Frankly, I am all for freedom of speech but sometimes have a little respect for who is our president (you can always state your opinion in a respectful, tasteful fashion). But being someone who studies children- I feel like the Presential Candidates do not provide the best examples of modeling appropriate behavior.

Well- with everyone else going politics crazy- I find solace in my kitchen, because I have enough cray-cray ;) coming from school. But today was Sunday Funday, which simply means that not only do I make dinner but I also make dessert (I usually make one dessert to last for the week so the hubby and I do not indulge). Though the hubby pointed out- For the Love of Dessert needs to have just a For the Love of Food agenda :D
