 I accidentally made a really delicious pasta last week, and I think it's a new favorite around here! Ok, I don't quite know what to call it so I am just going with Creamy Sausage Pasta. I used what we had in the pantry/fridge, and I kind of eyeballed everything, so I hope these measurements are right 😂. Here's the recipe! Ingredients:  1 pound of your favorite link sausage (I used a cheesy deer sausage), sliced into rounds Sliced mushrooms 1/2 pound penne pasta  1.5 cups chicken broth 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup parmesan cheese 1-2 cups spinach Garlic powder, salt, pepper all to taste Directions: 1. Sautee mushrooms in EVOO 2. Add in sausage and let it brown up 3. Once sausage is browned, add in uncooked pasta, broth, heavy cream, and seasonings. Let that come to a boil and then cover and let simmer until pasta is done and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 15 minutes). 4. When pasta is cooked, add in your spinach and let it wilt down. 5. Add in your parmesan and sti...

  Happy Tuesday!! Yesterday, I shared my meal plan for the week, and I had pulled pork sandwiches on the menu for last night, but my pack of chicken leaked out on everything- gross!! So, I went ahead and made this Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta I saw on Tik Tok. I'm not sure who the original creator is, but tons of people have made it now!  Ingredients:  1 lb boneless chicken breasts 1 bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic sauce Heavy whipping cream 8 oz block of cream cheese Parmesan cheese Pasta of choice (I used 1/2 of a box of Rotini, but a full box will work too) Directions:  1. In your slow cooker, add in your chicken breasts, followed by the parmesan garlic sauce. 2. Fill the empty parmesan garlic bottle all the way with heavy whipping cream, shake and pour over chicken. Fill the bottle again (I only filled half way) with more heavy whipping cream and pour into your slow cooker.  3. Add in your cream cheese and parmesan cheese. 4. The Tik Tok video I r...

I'm not super creative in the kitchen, but I'm going to do my best to share a recipe at least one Tuesday out of the month! This is one of my very favorite recipes. It's super easy and sooo good.  Ingredients: 1/2 lb penne pasta (we like mini penne) Two 4 oz logs of goat cheese 10oz fresh grape tomatoes 8.5oz jar of Julienne cut sun dried tomatoes 3-4 cloves of garlic, whole crushed red pepper salt and pepper (This makes about 4 servings.) Directions: In a baking dish, add your goat cheese, both kinds of tomatoes, and your whole garlic cloves. Sprinkle in your crushed red pepper, and salt and pepper-however much your heart desires. Place this in a 400 degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes. While this is baking, bring a pot of water to a boil and drop in your penne. (Don't forget to salt your pasta water!) Once your pasta and cheesy tomato mixture are all done, mix everything together and enjoy!
