Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Asparagus and Basil Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Asparagus & Basil When I was first married (16 years ago), I worked full-time as an elementary school teacher. I was up and out the door by 7am, and I didn’t get home until about 6. A pretty normal work schedule, I guess you could say. Here’s the how-to for making Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Asparagus & Basil: Here are all the ingredients you need- plus a little white wine & Parmesan. Heat up a little bit of olive oil in a large saute pan. Add in the minced garlic that I love so much. Chopped, fresh tomatoes will add some great color to this dish. Asparagus ends are added next. Add a few glugs of white wine. A little salt too. The vegetables are sauteed in the white wine to help soften then up and bring all of the flavors together. The (softer) asparagus tips are then added in. Shrimp! Add a chunk of butter to the sauce. You certainly can add any pasta you’d like, but I prefer to use the fresh angel hair type (find it near the fresh tortellini at your market).

Honey Glazed Chicken and Bacon Bites I had an idea. Actually, it was more like my three hundred and forty-sixth idea for this month and I now have the hips to show for it. No biggie, I consider it a small sacrifice for eating food that tastes this good. So I asked myself: “Would it be a really crazy idea to wrap loads of bacon around chicken strips and brush them with a spruced up honey marinade?”. See, now that’s what happens when you blog from your desolated home or kitchen (in the burbs). Anyway, it turned out nothing short of a phenomenal idea that I simply have to share here in my little corner of the www. Ingredients: 1 pound boneless chicken breasts 20 thin bacon slices 3 tbsp honey 2 tsp coarse mustard fresh lemon juice Optional: salt Directions: Cut the chicken breasts—or fillets, as we call them here—in thin strips. Note: I’m using the Dutch equivalent to bacon in this recipe. Grab a bowl and combine 3 tbsp honey with 2 tsp coarse mustard. Squeeze in some lemon juice. Bacon rights all the wrongs in this world.

I grew up eating casseroles, which in those days usually had white rice, noodles, pastry, tortillas, or potatoes, and some kind of canned cream soup. If you also had a mom who made those canned soup casseroles, the flavors in this recipe may remind you of chicken enchilada casseroles from the past with layers of tortillas, diced chicken, a sauce made of sour cream and cream of chicken soup, and cheese. Put the can of Green Chile Enchilada Sauce into a small pan and simmer on the stove until the sauce is slightly thickened and reduced to one cup. Drain two cans of pinto beans into a colander placed in the sink, rinse with cold water, and drain. Instructions:
Lasagna bolognese with béchamel « Snixy Kitchen I love lasagna – layers upon layers of rich, decadent sauce, cheese, and pasta that offer up different flavors with each bite. What I don’t love about most lasagna is cooked ricotta cheese. It tastes like chalk when baked and is a colossal mistake when layered into one of the most savory comfort foods in the world. This lasagna recipe I’m sharing below is TO. DIE. It takes some dedication to make, but the result is more than worth it. I made this particular batch in preparation for the ski trip to Tahoe last weekend to share with a cabin full of friends. Since I didn’t have enough room in my tiny freezer for three large casserole dishes, I spent some time debating and researching whether it would be better to a) bake it immediately, store it in the refrigerator for three days all wrapped up tight, and then reheat it in the oven at the cabin, or b) leave it unbaked, store it in the fridge, and bake it up there.
