All Nighter!

What an experience!! The Travie McCoy shoot was awesome!! It sure did start a little sticky (especially as it was just over 100F and the generator in the Hair & make up trailer died)! However it quickly began at a swift pace as everyone was working with a time crunch! We were all pressed for time a we had to shoot the entire video by sunrise!! Oh and have a meal break at 1am ;) Travie was suuuch a nice guy!

Here are some sneak peak photos but I cant put photos that are going to give away the video BUT as soon as the vid is released Ill be sure to put some great ones up with Travie and behind the scenes!

Regarding the food on set, there was the typical Kraft services which consisted of sodas, Lays, cheetos, Doritos, Vickies chips (step up! lol), Ritz crackers, fruit and veggies and this one had PB and J sandwiches! Not bad huh. But of course not the most nutritional. 

For the meal though I thought by far this one was sooo good compared to others Ive had! It was all homemade by the lady who brought it (i checked with her :P) and consisted of 2 types of salads, meat pasta, vegetarian pasta, grilled veggies, chicken, carrot cake, chocolate chip cookies and juices! I was in heaven! Her veggie pasta was so simple but delicious and the carrot cake was so light and fluffy!

It kinda all inspired me to try/come up with a new recipe! Check this out!!

Fusilli Pasta with Spinach and Cheese (I recommend Asiago! :P)


What you need!
-1 pound fusilli pasta (Wheat or original)
-1/4 cup olive oil
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped
-8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
-1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago (or the cheese of your choice!)
-1/2 cup grated Parmesan (Freshly grated is waaay better!!)
-1 teaspoon salt (Try Mediterranean salt!)
-3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


What to do!
Cook Pasta as package suggests. Beware not to overcook the pasta! Drain Pasta, save 1/2 cup of the liquid.


Warm olive oil in large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook until you get that wonderful aroma, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt and pepper as well as the cooking liquid you saved and stir. (Mmmm smells good huh)


Plate the pasta and enjoy! Pretty  & delicious huh!! :) mmmm & healthy!
