Cheese Tortellini with Butter, Mushrooms, and Crispy Sage

As expected, the week is shaping up to be a brutal one. Monday was a day of just…surviving. I was walking in the door, hoping for a workout, just as Mark was wrapping up work for the day. I prompted him to prep (chop) for dinner and he looked at me like, “Why would I do that?!”

But, he did. First time for everything! Even still, dinner wasn’t on the table until 7:15pm and we had about 10 minutes between dinner and the girls going to bed. Disaster. I course-corrected, knowing I needed to hop directly back in the weekday groove so I was up early getting dinner into the crock pot.

Except, that was kind of brutal because Piper was up in the middle of the night with signs and symptoms of a UTI. Poor baby! She screamed and I BOLTED from bed. There’s something about your kids crying in the middle of the night that will rouse you from the most restful sleep and BAM, you’re in full-on parenting mode in 0.1 seconds.

Needless to say, I was exhausted this morning. I’m not used to middle of the night kiddo wake-ups any longer and honestly, I can’t believe I ever did that 2…3…6…times a night. And functioned the next day.

This morning was a brief stint at work before taking Piper to the pediatrician, filling her script and entertaining her while we waited, and then returning her to school…followed by a chaotic afternoon. I left work having all but talked myself out of my workout but arrived home to find…no one. So, I did a quick little workout followed by a much more timely evening.

Like my boss said today, it can take a week to get back in the groove at work. By that time, it’ll nearly be Christmas!

But the whole dinner shindig? I’ve got it down. Quick, easy, comforting – this recipe has it all. For those busy weeks, for those cold nights, for the days you just need to keep it basic. Enjoy!
