  1. For the Penne with Sausage, Corn, Tomatoes and Basil recipe, how much/many grape tomatoes? I assume it serves 4.

    1. Hi

      This is one of those kitchen sink recipes! I usually add abou 1 1/2 cups of grape or cherry tomatoes. It really doesn’t matter, it is a personal thing.

    Hi Cindy! Gorgeous family photo! Love all your outfits this week. I have the checked Eileen Fisher pieces, plus a skirt, and I wear them all the time. They are prefect for travel since they can be washed and they look perfect without touching them with an iron or steamer. You always put together the best looks!
    Love your style Cindy!

  3. Curious, do you wear Eileen Fisher in petites? The regular sizes often overpower my 5’ frame.

    1. Hi Gemma

      I do often wear a petite in pants, but not in tops. I am very long waisted with short legs. I am 5’4

  10. WHERE? are you and the family with that beautiful hotel backdrop? I made a salad similar to yours after I had leftover corn on the cob. I cut it off, combined with garbanzos, cherry tomatoes, capers, Kalamata olives, feta and pine nuts for a tasty meatless meal. There are a few Eileen Fisher items I’m going to look into. Enjoy the fam!

      What hat and bag are you wearing? Details, please.

      1. Hi Nan

        I always hate to overlink but I should know by know to just do it. My outfit I featured in a post awhile back. It is super reasonable from Gap.
        The pants are nearly sold out. Here is the link https://go.shopmy.us/p-19159306
        The top is actually considered a pajama top from Gap here: https://go.shopmy.us/p-20734756- It is $19.
        FYI I think all of the matching sets look like PJ’s that are so popular ( I love them, but why not pay PJ prices if we can!!)
