My new favorite dish.

Chicken Artichoke Pasta

This is one of my new favorites.  I found the receipe through Pinterest and "loosely" followed the directions:)

Here goes my version of the recipe. I highly recommend trying this!

2 chicken breast, cubed

16 oz of pasta shells

16 oz bag of spinach, thawed

4 oz cream cheese

2 cans of artichokes, quarted

2 C of shredded cheese, divided

1/4 C of Parmesan cheese

3 Tbs butter

Garlic powder

Pepper

Cook pasta according to directions.  In a frying pan, melt butter and add the cubed chicken.  Sprinkle some garlic powder and pepper, however much you'd like:)  Combine chicken, pasta, spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.  Stir until melted, then transfer to a 13x9 dish and top with the remaining cheese.  Put in broiler for 4-5 minutes until cheese is brown, then eat up!

Seriously...one of my favorites.

Yummy Fruit!

Since I've been pregnant, I've really enjoyed my fruit!  I made 2 salads this morning and it's so yummy I thought I'd share:)

For both recipes I used apples, pineapples, halved grapes, bananas, and kiwi.

For the first I put in a small container of vanilla yogurt, a splash of OJ, two shakes of cinnamon, and some "just bunches" from Honey Nut Bunches of Oats.  Tossed around and put in the fridge...mmmm!

For the second recipe, I made this fruit dressing and poured it over the fruit.

½ C White Wine or White Grape Juice

Sugar substitute that equals 1/3 C sugar

1 Tbls White Wine Vinegar

1 3" Cinnamon stick

8 whole cloves

Bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 min, strain, chill then pour over the fruit. 

Now that I got my fruit fix, I'm ready to work on bows!  A new batch for the school uniform company is ready to be sorted and passed out to the WONDERFUL girls that work for me!  That will be my afternoon project:)
