Amazing Addicting Pasta!

I made up this pasta sauce last night & served it over Brown Rice Rotini Pasta from Trader Joes. MMMM.....I have to share!

In a saucepan, I dumped a can of diced tomatoes,

3 TB Rice Flour,

a drizzle of light olive oil

4 tsp minced onion

a generous amount of each: oregano, sweet basil, pepper (more than you might think of each of these. The sauce was pretty "spicy").

some salt

3/4 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

stir constantly & bring to a boil.  Mmmmmm!  Soooo good!!

I put leftover turkey (from the freezer) over the top to get some meat with it.  Any well-seasoned, shredded meat would go great with it. I think shrimp, salmon or halibut would also be super yummy.

I served it with my latest, easy salad:

Tear up some green leaf lettuce & spinach together (after cleaning, of course).

Use a veggie peeler and peel a carrot, discard the peelings, and then keep on using the peeler & put the pieces of carrot you peel off into the bowl of lettuce & spinach.

Toss the whole thing with some salad dressing of choice. I like Paul Newman's Parmesan Garlic, I think it's called.  It just needs a little dressing.

Top with a sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese.

YUM! :)

Yummmmmy Dinner!

Hi Friends, I have not posted here in quite a while! I don't know if I'll be able to catch up on what I've been cooking over the last month, but let me start with last night's dinner!

With the help of my handsome man, we assembled & cooked:

Chicken Apple Sausages (cooked on the stove top)

Spicy Sausages (cooked on the stove top)

Carrots

Celery

French Fries (cooked in the oven)

Fondue

I cook fondue like this: 

A little olive oil & maybe 1/2 T to 1 full T of minced garlic. Saute it, then add in about 1.5 to 2 cups of wine (I get the 2nd to the cheapest wine at Wal Mart).  Let that get hot.  Then add in, 1 at a time, slices of American-Swiss Cheese.  Like the American Cheese, but it's Swiss.  Stir with each new slice.  I get the big pack of the cheese at Costco, and there are 3 big stacks in that, and I use about 1.5 stacks for 2 cups of wine.  Just keep adding cheese until it's not too runny, and keep stirring with each piece. I like the Costco cheese because there are no individual wrappers...That's important to me!!

So I put little bowls full of fondue on everybody's plate (and the big pot in the center with a ladel for refills), and then everybody got to dip sausage, veggies and french fries in their fondue.  The kids LOVED it and so did we!!!!
