Recipes

I am very thankful for Recipes. Chris is a wonderful cook. He can just make up something and it is wonderful. I, on the other hand, must have a detailed recipe for anything to work out correctly. Chris and I have found that we are so busy trying to eat as fast a possible so that we can play with Hannah in the evenings that we had stopped really eating. Ramen Noodles, sandwiches, and cereal were a regular thing for us. Anyway, we have a notebook now of great FAST recipes that we have found in magazines that we like or really want to try. I have a favorite. It is so good and easy

FIESTA CHICKEN PASTA

2 cups uncooked rotini pasta, 1 Tbsp oil, 1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size chunks, 2 cups chopped red peppers (Chris and I have used green ones too), 1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing, 1Tbsp chili powder, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
