Easy gluten free pasta for any night of the week

I am a big fan of the cook once, eat twice philosophy. I am also learning to be completely gluten free. As a busy, working mom cooking is one of my biggest chores. The kids are going to camp right now and get picked up at 5pm. They are coming home starving after 4 hours of playing in the ocean at Surf and Kayak camp and I can’t get dinner made fast enough, and of course, I didn’t have time to get it started before I picked them up!

I once went to a coworker’s house who had a small daughter. Her daughter was around 2 or 2 1/2. We walked into her home together and she had not had any time to clean up or straighten the house before I came. When I walked into the house with her and her daughter I was shocked! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Her home was spotless and organized! You would have thought she lived there alone and that she didn’t have not a single child.
