​One of the advantages of being a food blogger is that my camera is never far away.  (Even when I'm in my car.)  Mia and I were heading to the park for a morning walk when we passed these adorable bulls at the end of our street.  (Yes, I just called a couple of half ton bulls, adorable.)  But seriously - they were licking each others faces - what is cuter than animals kissing each other?  I just couldn't help but pull over and snap a couple of pictures of these amazing animals.

​I love that these animals live at the end of our road.  Even after 8 years, it's still hard for me to drive by without stopping to watch them for a while.

That bull is totally sticking his tongue out at me!

OK, that's enough bull for one day.  (I crack myself up.)  Onto the recipe of the day - Rustic Penne Shrimp Pasta in a Parmesan and Red Pepper Cream Sauce from jennystephens.blogspot.com.  This is a super easy, make ahead meal that your family will LOVE.  I was so confident in this recipe that I served it to my in-laws last month.
