Food...What More Can I Say?

Ask me why I'm blogging about food at 11:25 pm. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I had a long nap this afternoon. Anywhoo...just thought I'd share an easy and tasty meal that I made this evening. I quite enjoyed it AND what speaks even louder than that, is the fact that Logan ate it (he's been quite picky lately).

Here's the link to the recipe: http://mykitchencafe.blogspot.com/search/label/Main%20Dish%20-%20Chicken

I made the Skillet BBQ Chicken Pasta. I had some shredded chicken in the fridge, so I used that rather than sauteing cubed chicken. I didn't have a red onion, but I did have some shallots, so I used those. Other than that, I stuck to the recipe. (Boy, I sound like someone leaving a comment on allrecipes.com. They make changes to the recipe then give it a sub-par rating. Makes me laugh.) This recipe is nothing super amazing, but it was tasty, quick, and easy. And to top that off, it was full of ingredients that I usually have on hand.

While I'm speaking of food, just thought I'd post a link to another recipe (dessert this time) that I'm hoping to try out this week. With peanut butter and chocolate, I figure I can't go wrong.
It's the Creamy Peanut Butter Mousse (pictured with chocolate cupcakes): http://www.stephanieskitchen.com/

Lastly, I have this thing for the Food Channel's Food Network Challenges. I know it's kinda weird, but I enjoy watching them - mostly the cake ones. So, I try and record them once in a while and if I need something to watch while folding laundry or just relaxing, I pull one up. A couple of weeks ago Garrick and I saw the Southern Living Cook Off episode. I don't even know what year it was from. Could've been a rerun. There were a few recipes that sounded scrumptious. I looked one up the other day and just might give it a try when I need to take a dessert somewhere. (It'd be way too much dessert for our little clan). Maybe it'll be a Sunriver treat.
