Zesty Rigatoni, Sausage and Peppers


Last Wednesday I decided to make a meal out of what was already in my refrigerator. I found this recipe on AllRecipies.com (www.allrecipies.com/Recipe/Zesty-Penne-Sausage-and-Peppers/Detail.aspx ) I had yellow and green bleepers and some whole wheat pasta at home. I found the recipe to be quite simple. It was quick and easy the only substitution I did was the pasta shape. Overall the taste, well for me it was a little too sweet, I'm not sure if it was the cream cheese or the yellow peppers. But this is a recipe and a meal that I may not make again. You can't win them all. Not a Yummo moment, but maybe a yum.

Oh, Chippies


One of my favorite things to eat is chips. I love chips, I love chips so much I could probably eat them every day of the rest of my life and be okay with it. So it's only fitting that my second "yummo" post would be on chips. I found this recipe on Campbell's website. I must admit I was a little hesitant to follow the recipe word for word. Some of the ingredients to me made no sense for being in a nacho recipe. But I went with it and in the end it was a delicious meal. I was worried that it was going to turn out too soupy since the ingredients called for a can of Condensed Mushroom Soup, and Salsa but once it was all mixed together it was a beautiful melody of deliciousness. I made enough for four people and I was the only one eating. So i used the leftovers and made burritos out of it for lunch the next day! Yummo!

Pesto you are delish!

Monday night I decided to be adventurous and cook with pesto sauce. I have never cooked with it before. I found an easy recipe on the Campbell's Soup website. The only thing it didn't have was a vegetable, so I added some broccoli. It was quick and easy to make, very basic ingredients.
I will try this meal again, possibly change it to whole wheat/grain pasta bows and a different veggie maybe asparagus or carrots. I paired it with a glass of chardonnay.
Definitely a YUMMO Meal!

Yummo


Per the advice of my older sister Jaymmy I have decided to start blogging about one of my greatest passions in life...Food. I LOVE to eat good food, and I've just recently started making some delicious meals at home. This Blog will focus on my adventures in food, weather it be a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal that I've either created (with the help of a recipe or a random concoction) or a meal that I've experienced out of my own kitchen; restaurant or friends home. I may also included my delicious drinks that I may encounter.
I guess we'll see where this journey takes us, many delicious meals and drinks as far as the eye can see. Life is to short one must eat, drink and be merry!
