Grubbin'

So to quote my husband's review of this recipe, "It was grubbin'." I am going to take that as a compliment and keep this recipe as one of our favorites! I was worried about the chicken as my chicken breasts were much thicker than the recipe called for and they took more than twice the time to cook, but they still turned out tender and juicy! The sauce was delectable, and I will definitely use Stacita's recommendation in the future and mix the noodles and sauce together so as to enjoy it even more. Thank you Eva! It is so fun trying new foods!

My favorite pasta salad ever! And it is easy.

So I got a request from my mom to make my Spaghetti salad so i thought i would share it. All you need to do is cook some thin spaghetti noodles and Italian dressing and some salad elegance seasoning then cut up some cherry tomatoes and a cucumber then add a can of sliced olives. That is it. I love to take it camping and to any summer BBQ. It is always a hit plus it is easy as all get out. Hope you ladies like it as much as I do.

Tofu Curry - YUMM YUMM!

I made the tofu curry last night and it was a hit all around the table! I also tried out edamame for the first time and again - three cheers around the table! I used fish sauce instead of soy sauce as Alyssa had suggested. But otherwise stuck to the recipe exactly. However, I felt like there was a little too much lime so next time I'll not put quite as much. I also had neglected to get rice at the store but thankfully had couscous and that was fine. I really like rice though so next time I will have rice for sure! I felt like the tofu was a bit chewy and I wonder if I fried it a bit too long...? Any input from anyone? Andy loved it and I was very pleased when he said he wanted me to make it again. So for those of you who didn't give your hubby's a chance to like it, you should try. We used A LOT more cilantro and peanuts than the recipe called for. By the way, I did double the sauce and it's a good thing I did because even at that we ate every drop! So any suggestions about what to do with the few ounces of coconut milk I have left over? Stacy, this was a hit at my house and I will definitely be making the edamame and tofu curry again! THREE THUMBS UP!

Could I just swim in this sauce please?

Chicken Marsala update: Absolutely delicious. The sauce was amazing. I would only do one thing differently next time (and I will definately make it again). I have a penne a la vodka recipe in which you undercook the pasta just a bit and then mix it in with the sauce to finish cooking it. The pasta really soaks up the sauce this way. I know that this isn't traditional for chicken marsala at all, but I had a hard time getting the sauce to cling to the pasta so we were scooping it off our plates with spoons in order not to waste any deliciousness! We obviously didn't have company. :) It is possible that I just didn't thicken the sauce enough or I was using the wrong kind of pasta. Other than that, it was amazing. Noah kept saying things like, "Mom, you make the best noodles!" and, "Mom you are the best cook!" Thanks, Eva. This is such a keeper.
