Red with The White with The Green

This is our spin on Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta. When I started making it Maddie came up with the new name. It’s delicious and the reason we buy our sun dried tomatoes by the big jar at Costco. 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts chopped up into small pieces 16 oz cavatappi or…

Chicken Piccata

I started making this a year ago. I completely redid the original recipe. It has become Tim's favorite dish. Chicken Piccata 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds) If you buy the big chicken breasts like I do it's closer to 2 lbs. It's okay you'll just have to cook two batches…

Pasta Fagioli

Tortellini pasta salad

We made this salad up for the 4th of July party we went to. We didn't really have a recipe just made it up as we went along. It turned out really tasty. I'm guessing at amounts we used but it's not rocket science you can add or take away as your taste suits you….

Yakisoba Noodles

While Tim was getting the fence supplies last Friday I had to find a recipe for yakisoba noodles because normally this is his forte in the kitchen. I found this recipe and it turned out great the kids loved it. I did two batches and in our batch I added sweet chili sauce to it…

Sicilian Supper

This was a dinner my mom used to make a lot when we were growing up. I added green and red peppers to mine because that's what I had and I used more sauce. I also substituted plain greek yogurt for the sour cream because we were out and it turned out just fine. I…
