I like to think I am a good cook. And though I'm not very original, I rarely follow a recipe exactly. Mostly I just use one as an inspiration and adjust it however I want.
I just wanted to share some yummy things we've enjoyed around these parts.
Cajun Chicken Pasta: Ana calls this "my favorite noodles that have the little bit of spice." I actually made my own cajun seasoning without the cayenne pepper so I can add however much of the spiciness I want. I also leave out the tomatoes and usually I use penne or bowtie pasta. This is a favorite here!
Corn Chowder: I also threw in a cut up potato and left out the chiles. It was enjoyed by all.
Grilled Cheese sandwiches on homemade bread with homemade tomato soup: Wow. Ultimate comfort food. I don't know if I can ever make grilled cheese on store bought bread again. It just isn't the same.
Penne Rustica: I felt like I had eaten out after this. Except I had to clean up the mess...
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes: I just follow the Better Homes and Gardens Buttermilk Pancake recipe except I sub 1/3 cup fresh, cooked pumpkin (though you could use canned, I suppose) for the egg and add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Served with Pure Vermont Maple syrup and whipped cream. There is nothing better.
Mushroom Burgers: saute mushrooms and onions in butter and a little apple juice (or wine) until soft. Cook burgers and top with sharp cheddar cheese, mushrooms, lettuce and mayo on a toasted bun. Delish!
Anyone else made anything yummy lately? I'm always looking for dinner inspiration...

Those all sound delish! We made the Cajun Chicken Pasta after I read about it on your blog and we enjoyed it. A bit more bland than we anticipated... I think it would taste richer using wine and cream as called for, but we used chicken broth and John's milk so he could eat it too.
I'll have to try some of these other recipes. I seem to get stuck in a rut SO much faster than I used to these days. :(
YUM!!! I love the blog for the girl who ate everything I am adding that to my new list of favorites. I think you need to come cook at my house:)
I want you to list ALL of your recipes because I, am not a good cook!! And I don't like doing it either!
