I am admittedly a picky eater. It isn’t something I particularly like about myself, but it is what it is. I am a texture eater with a nasty gag reflex. So I became cautious at a very early age about foods that weren’t pretty simplistic.
Fast forward to today. I am surrounded by fabulous recipes that have more to them than my favorite sandwich (two slices of bread and a slice of cheese…yes, I will forever be a little kid at heart), AND I have a husband that loves food that is full of all kinds of flavors.
So what’s a picky eater to do? Well, she takes a chance every once in a while and it pays off! This Beefy Salsa Rotini is just one of those instances. I loved it, as did Michael and Mr. Ryder…you have to love it when your toddler says, “More Mommy! More!”
We also tried out something new with this recipe. I recently went on a grocery store tour with a registered dietician. She highly recommended whole grains across the board and even gave us a box of whole grain pasta…and wouldn’t you know it was rotini! So, I thought I would give it a try. I had heard some people complain about the taste, so I was a little worried Michael might give me a hard time. Nope! We both agreed that we couldn’t even tell a difference! I don’t know if it was just this Beefy Salsa Rotini or if the pasta just tastes the same, but it is worth a shot if you want to pack a little more nutrient punch to your meal!
