I was going through Recipe Girl's site and came across this incredible dish. Cheesy Baked Penne. Cheesy is the word that caught my eye. That's all I needed to know. I make this dish when I have ham to use up. I also buy ham just to make this. It is so creamy and gooey. It is a must make in my kitchen. If you try it, it will be on your "make again" list.

Chicken Noodle Soup
Alright, fine. I will post a "healthy" recipe today. And Oh.My.Goodness. That's all I can say about this soup. I got it from the Pioneer Woman and she knows her stuff. It is so comforting and soul warming. I could eat this at least once a week. It's that good wonderful. I tweaked it a tad to suit my tastes. I must say I absolutely recommend using a whole fryer chicken (you can buy them already cut up) because it makes it taste so much better than just using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. … [Read more...]
