Pizza Night

Look at this wonderful pizza my husband made for dinner last night. Pepperoni, Canadian bacon and minced garlic.

Bar Food Night at Home

Beef taquitos for some bar food-type snacking as dinner last night. My husband pointed out that if you say that sentence really fast, it sounds like you're saying "barf food." Hmmm....

First-Timers at Rick's Press Club

We had our "first" taste test of Rick's Press Club in Meridian last weekend. Above is the crab melt. I want to order it again soon! Below is the chicken and rice wrap. Also very good. We'll be back because there are more things on the menu we need to try. Plus, we need to sign the wall ;)

Taste Test: Spaghettios

My daughter's dinner at Donnie Mac's last night...and her first taste ever of Spaghettios. She didn't like them. When I was a kid, I thought they were a special treat :) My hula chicken sandwich was very good and I love, love, love the sweet potato fries. My only complaint is that we asked Donnie to come to our table and say "hi," and he never showed up. Hey, Donnie!!!!!

Stuffed Noodles

My friend Lisa made these to share with our family this week. She said they were "stuffed noodles" - filled with shrimp, and sauteed seasoned cabbage, carrots, onion and celery. Great idea!

Pasta and Chicken in Parmesan Cream Sauce

Chopped grilled chicken and pasta in a basic cream sauce. Saute a minced clove of garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter, add about 1 cup of heavy cream and about a 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and bring to a simmer. Let sauce cool to thicken. Re-heat and toss with cooked and drained pasta and the chicken. Pepper to taste and garnish with parsley.

Chopped Caprese Salad

A twist on one of our favorite salads. This is a chopped Caprese salad. Diced fresh mozzarella, diced tomatoes, shredded fresh basil, coarse sea salt, Romaine lettuce and white balsamic vinegar. A taste of summer.
