It's Wonderful Wednesday Again!!! (Pasta with Bacon and Mushrooms)

It is a beautiful day!!!  I woke up refreshed this morning,  got up, showered and did some cleaning,  thinking that the maintenance man was coming to change the filter in the furnace today,  and well,  it's actually tomorrow..  but.. the apt is all pretty and shiny clean.. soooo it's all good..  we all get some days mixed up right??  lol    I am sitting here with the door wide open,  sneezing,  but it is so worth it.. I love spring and all the beautiful flowers that it brings and I have been thinking that maybe I should do a little prep for dinners for the next 6 nights since I am going into my 6 day work stretch..   So I put some black beans in the crock-pot to cook for Spicy Black Bean Soup for Friday,  when I close..  I will finish the soup tomorrow evening when I get off work..  I am going to prep the sauces for 2 pasta dishes and the filling for the Chicken Pot Pie for Sunday..  still deciding if I want to make an actual pie crust for it,  or will just top it with some home made biscuits..  still deciding on that..  maybe some Cheddar biscuits..  ahh the mind is starting to go in all different fun directions..  :)  So,  for dinner tonight,  Bacon Mushroom Pasta..
