Another Cheater's Meal

It's about time for another one of my "No granite counter tops required" fast, easy cheatin' meals......I dont get off work til 7pm most nights, so fast, tasty meals are a must round here..This one is so yummy, that it doenst even have a name, everyone here simply ask that i make that "chicken stuff". I know what they mean, LOL...So here goes, of course u know i always start with the freshest ingredients possible....Fresh boneless, skinless chicken breast(1-2 lbs) , cubed. Fresh broccoli , garlic, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Ule also need a pack of cheaters Alfredo sauce...and pasta

In a medium saucepan saute (med to high heat) the onion and garlic in a wee bit of cooking oil...

Ahhhhh, can u smell this? Truly the way many great meals begin....When the onions are transparent add the chicken..Seer it, then turn down the heat, and add the broccoli and tomatoes.

Cover and let simmer til the broccoli is tender...follow the directions on the Alfredo sauce while the pasta is cooking....pour the thickened sauce over the chicken, drain and mix in the pasta...Plate it........sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese....

Add alittle romance and ur done.............nite all, Bonnie

I'll be joining Kim at "Savvy Southern Style" for Wow Us Wednesday, hope to see u there......Also joining my new friend Aimee at "It's Overflowing"

Outta the Picnic Basket

Hi all , i sincerely hope everyone is having a good weekend. Hoping to add to ur outdoor picnic fun, im sharing a fun, summer recipe. It's the kickoff of a new idea........ Ile feature an "Otta the Picnic Basket" recipe every Sunday....This one's not my brainchild, however , i believe ive tweeked just alil bit for the better.........Im making two today, since ill be visiting my sister later..... 

Its absolutely delishous and quite refreshing on a summer day......start with a few simple ingredients, like yogart, coolwhip, instant pudding, canned crushed pineapple, a bakery angelfood cake, and 1lb of fresh strawberries. For all the calorie watchers, yogart, coolwhip, pudding, and even the angelfood, can all be substituted with sugar-free.......

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yougart, pineapple, pudding, and coolwhip. Stir the heck out of it til its mixed really well.

Next in a large dessert bowl(this is a pretty dessert, lol, so use a pretty bowl) start ur first layer with cubed angelfood cake and sliced strawberries, then add a layer of the creamy mixture, keep doing this til the bowl is filled or ya run outta ingredients, lol.

Chill it for a couple hrs. , then serve on some really pretty plates... for a "grown up" variation of the recipe, lightly soak the angelfood cake for just a few minutes, in dark rum. Easy to do with a cookie sheet...........ENJOY and dont forget to stop by next Sunday, for another simple summer recipe thats right "Outta the Picnic Basket"!

I Confess.............Im a CHEATER

When i first started my blog , i didnt really plan on "recipe posts", but really, i think if i dont do this posting i wunt have been true to the spirit of the reasons i blog anyway.  I feel compeled to share with u my "Working Mom/no granite countertops Required" spaghetti. My BFF Pattie over at The Shabby Chick , is always making homemade everything. She's Italian, and might have me "whacked" for making spaghetti like this, LOL......so i apologize in advance to Pattie. That being said, start with quality ingredients, simmer everything(except the noodles, lol) in one pan.  Drain the meat, add sauce and tomatoes and 2 tlb spoons(or 3) of sugar, just remember ur not baking a cake, lol.......Plate it and top with, as my little son used to call it "sprinkle cheese".............Trust me, make it, and they will come..........Have a wonderful nite everyone!

I told u they would come................LOL, u werent expecting Lady and The Tramp, were ya?
