Sweet Chili Linguine with Grilled Chicken
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
Pasta Soup
I’m not really sure what to call this soup. I made it up one night to go with sandwiches. I was looking for a minestrone recipe and decided to make up my own. True confession: I’ve never eaten minestrone and really didn’t know what was in it. I’m pretty sure this isn’t quite like minestrone, but it is really good.
The ingredients are simple and adaptable to what you have hanging around in your kitchen. The soup comes together quick too. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Pasta Soup

Angel Chicken
I’ve seen this recipe floating around the internet for a while now. A friend even gave me a copy written in handwriting on a recipe card a few months ago. I’d put off trying it though, because it calls for Cambell’s Golden Mushroom Soup, which I can’t seem to find. Finally, I decided that I could substitute. I’m glad I did. This is yummy, creamy and satisfying. And for a bonus, it’s a crockpot recipe. [Read more…] about Angel Chicken
