I was also born in 1970. I turn 40 in September. It feels Kind of Strange. I Feel as if I am caught in some nether zone between Youth and old age. It seems I have a split personality,dating 20 year old Females but having fond thoughts about retirement. I have become pretty laidback and philisophical about life, especially success and failure. Stuff I stressed over in my 20′s no longer bother me.

I REALLY want to try this recipe, but I’m trying to avoid canned tomatoes (acidic in a BPA-lined can = no good). Ideas for how to sub real tomatoes (proportion)? Thanks!

I will be 41 in May and I find myself in a position I never thought I would be. I got jobless and at the age of 40 I find it difficult to stand up and keep going. You look so young, I already have many white hairs but I’m thinking about coloring my hair…maybe it will give me strenght to face the 41′s.

I was lucky enough to be in the office when Melissa brought in Heather’s Marinara Sauce for lunch. It was really good, but I do not know what a stick blender is!! I love macaroni and cheese and butternut squash, so I look forward to making this recipe. My last comment is that Melissa does not look even CLOSE to turning 40!

I turn 4-0 on Friday so I’ll let you know then how fabulous it is going to be. Yikes. I still can’t get my head around that number. I definitely feel stronger and healthier than I did when I was in my 20s and early 30s. Love the post!

As one of the beneficiaries of Heather’s fine (and healthy!) cooking, let me tell you, once you try the marinara sauce, nothing else compares! Your cooking is the best, hun!!!

I like the idea of butternut squash in mac n cheese. I never would have though of that.

Nice to meet you Heather…and your marinara sauce!

P.S. 40 isn’t so bad!
