I wasn't kidding

Although you may have thought I was kidding when I said I was going to dump pictures on here (if you're even reading this) I was not kidding.

Farfalle pasta with chicken in a butter-sage sauce



I really love food. Hopefully that is something you picked up from the beginning. If not, now you know. Right now I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what I really want to do with my life. One thing I know for sure, I want to help make people happy. Perhaps that is why I enjoy cooking because it adds a smile to someone's face. I do not know how realistic it would be to make it my career though, so for now I just do it as a hobby.



Homemade gnocchi with garlic-butter sage topping






One of my favorite sauces to make is a butter-sage sauce because it is super easy and tastes amazing. The recipe? Butter, garlic and sage. Complex, I know. Melt some butter in a pan and put some garlic in it. Use a low-medium heat until the butter begins to bubble a little bit. Add a few sprinkles of sage--it's best to use fresh sage, of course. Turn it up to medium and watch out for the garlic because it likes to pop. It will all begin to bubble up and brown. Now it's ready to be put on top of anything you want! Woot, success.


Chicken carbonara with parmesan and parsley






Chicken is one of those great meats that you can do so many different things with. Oh, and bacon too. Who doesn't love bacon???? We will forget about those vegetarians--I pretend like they don't really exist. The magic happens when you mix bacon and chicken together. That with cheese and butter makes an unstoppable force. Chicken carbonara is a delectable dish that combines all of these things and is rather simple to make and is SO AMAZING!!






This brings an end to my dumping of photos for my pasta section. Ready for more? Are you hungry yet? Good, I wanted to make sure that it wasn't just me because that's how it usually works. And in case you were wondering, if you're one of those people that wonders, I did make all of these things. If I can do it, you might be able to. Good luck.

  1. You've never made me any dinner. So, there is no smile on my face.

    1. I'm pretty sure I did when I made dinner for the ENTIRE family when I got back from my mission.
