Penne a la Vodka is one of my favorite pasta dishes! We have a few local restaurants that really make it well and probably since the first time I ate it, I've been trying to master Vodka Sauce. I've tried several recipes and none of them gave me the taste of restaurant style Vodka Sauce that I really, really love. A few years ago, that.all.changed. I came across a recipe at All Recipes and after a few attempts I finally mastered! {not sure of the photo source. if anyone knows, please let me know!} Download Single Recipe Card HERE Download Double Recipe Card HERE Size: 4x6 Due to the amount of content that is used without permission and proper credit, I am no longer allowing a full RSS feed.

Easy Weekday Meal: Parmesan Crusted Chicken & Artichoke Bake
A friend of mine had shared this recipe with me a few years ago and I totally forgot about it until I walked passed a big jar of artichokes in BJ’s a few days ago.

Rigatoni Alfredo
Alfredo Sauce is a favorite among my family members. I'll attest I know no one who despises it. My very first experience with Alfredo Sauce was at Red Lobster almost twenty years ago. I had it along-side a fresh batch of their Cheddar Bay Biscuits for dipping. Needless to say, it ruined my appetite by the time my meal arrived and I could hardly fit another bite. It was delicious! At any rate, my husband and I both enjoy Alfredo Sauce and my two year-old daughter cleaned her plate this evening. We had a good laugh when she picked up the plate to lick it.

If you're out to cut back … [Read more...]
{Best Chili Recipe EVER}
I'm not a fan of veggies and I'm certainly not a fan of beans so you can imagine that our menu here is pretty boring. My hubs complains that it's the same thing. Well, my bestie, Karen, was telling me about this to-die-for chili that her husband made. Willing to try something new, I asked her for the recipe. Now, I changed the original recipe just a bit for no reason other than I couldn't find some of the ingredients and boy, oh boy, it's delicious! Ingredients:Ground Beef1 Jar of Medium or Mild Salsa1 Can of Corn, drained1 Can Red Kidney Beans, drained1 15 oz Can of Tomato Sauce1 pkg of Taco Seasoning1 pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Salad Dressing Mix (original) Brown Ground Beef in pot and drain juice Add remaining ingredients and cook until heated.
