Tomato Basil Fettucini

Tonight I made a new dish that was great for the day before grocery shopping day. In other words, we don't have any fresh meat or vegetables in the house, so I turned to pantry and freezer foods.

Cooked Tomato Basil Fettucini (I bought mine from Fresh and Easy)
Frozen shrimp
Frozen brussel sprouts

Add a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic salt and garlic herb seasonings to the shrimp and brussel sprouts and cook (heat through) together on stovetop.
Add italian seasoned bread crumbs and a little olive oil to the cooked pasta.

Quinoa, Butternut Squash, Chicken, Bean Soup

About a month back, I tried a recipe using butternut squash, which isn't a common vegetable in my kitchen. It was on sale and I thought I'd give it another chance.

I couldn't resist a recipe from a fellow cook named "Chelsea", and as a bonus, the soup turned out delicious, although I can't brag that it was a family favorite. It wasn't my kids' favorite. Sometimes healthful and full of new flavors isn't as satisfying to them as boring mac'n'cheese from a box.

Ingredients in my soup: chicken broth, chicken breasts kidney beans garbanzo beans ...

I always have assumed that the best white rolls have dairy ingredients, but I tried this recipe for Easter ( I made them into resurrection rolls with a marshmallow in the center) and they turned out delicious. My husband and I both agreed that they would make great cinnamon rolls, so I tried it today and was not disappointed. My favorite part is that the dough is made in the bread machine. That way, the prep time/active time is cut down, which is a winner for my life. Here are my two new recipes for White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls. White Dinner Rolls (bread machine – dough cycle) Place ingredients into bread machine pan: 1 cup water 2 Tbsp margarine 1 egg 3 ¼ cups unbleached all purpose flour ¼ cup white sugar 1 tsp salt 3 tsp active dry yeast After dough is done (1.5 hours), pour out of the bread pan and onto clean surface. Divide into rolls and place into greased (coconut oil) pan. Brush tops of rolls with coconut oil (optional). Let rise in ...

Cornbread, Quick from a Box Mix

I have enjoyed the Krusteaz brand of cornbread mix so many times that I just wanted to share it with my favorite milk substitute, Almond/Coconut milk blend, unsweetened. The photos tell it all. Follow the box instructions substituting out for the milk and enjoy cornbread with little preparations.
