As you can tell from the picture, I didn’t use linguine for this recipe. I didn’t have any so I used vermicelli instead. I found the recipe on the Disboards Budget Board and altered it a little from the original. We all really liked it. It combines our favorites of chicken and pasta, but the flavors are a bit different, which was nice. There is a bit of spice and heat, but it wasn’t too much for the kids. The recipe makes a lot of pasta. If you have a smaller family, you might want to cut it in half. [Read more…] about Sweet Chili Linguine with Grilled Chicken

Italian Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Shells
I have a freezer full of pork that we got from my niece’s 4-H project. The place my sister took it to be processed doesn’t always give you what you ask for. I think it’s more what they are in the mood to make. The day they processed my order, they must have been in the mood for Italian Sausage. I’ve never seen so much of it!
With so much Italian sausage, I’m having to get creative to use it. I decided to give it a try in stuffed shells. The result tasted great and as a bonus, you get to cook once and eat twice. This recipe makes enough for two 9×13 pans! [Read more…] about Italian Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Shells

Chicken Tortellini with Snow Peas
It’s been a while since I made this. It was the result of a mini pantry challenge that I was doing to avoid going to the grocery. I pulled the ingredients out of the fridge and freezer and created this. I think I was out of garlic and that’s why I used Italian dressing in place of oil and garlic. I wasn’t sure that it would work, but it did. This post is going to be less of an actual recipe, and more of how to put your own make-shift meal together.
