Amy Gramlich: Cheesey Chicken Spaghetti

This chicken spaghetti recipe post is written with bittersweet sentiments. One of the first friends I made when I moved to Little Rock was my friend B. I have some fine memories of our times together – like the time he poured a shot or two of Jagermeister into my chocolate chip cookie batter. The cookies turned out fine…maybe a little chewier than I would have liked. I opted not to take them to the school potluck. READ MORE

 

 

Ricci Alexis: Chicken Fajita Pasta

Chicken and Fajitas are two of my favorite things. I could seriously eat Mexican food all day every day. So combining that idea into a pasta? YES PLEASE!! I am a pasta-holic from way back when. I have been trying to cut back but sometimes you just need something hot and warm and this recipe fits that bill perfectly! It may just be my new go-to comfort food. Plus it’s a one pot meal and you just can’t beat that! READ MORE

 

 

Debbie Arnold: Pappardelle Bolognese

I love a a deep, rich, almost intoxicating Bolognese.  The joy of gathering the ingredients, mincing, dicing — I enjoy all of it.  And I especially like the all-day cooking of it about as much as I love, love the way it makes my kitchen smell all homey and welcoming.  And the taste?  Oh my goodness.

Thom’s back in the kitchen!  And, that means my taste buds are happy again {not to mention-the poor guy has lost ten + pounds having to eat my dinners over the last two months}.  For his first real-thrown-together meal he’s prepared post surgery-he knocked it outta the park.  Or, off the stove.

Ricci Alexis: Bang Bang Pasta

For this recipe I just sautéed my shrimp in a little Rice Bran Oil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and then I mixed them with my pasta and sauce. For the pasta I actually used a brown rice penne pasta that I picked up at Trader Joe’s when I was in Dallas. I have professed my love of brown rice many times here on this blog and I love brown rice pasta just as much! What can I say, I love brown rice! READ MORE
