I LOVE this recipe. It's delicious! You have to be a fan of peppers to like it, but it's a really good change to regular spagetti and really easy to make.
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1 (1-lb.) package mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, cut into eighths
1 medium-size green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 medium-size red or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (28-oz.) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat
8 to 10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking sausage into pieces while cooking. Remove sausage and drippings from Dutch oven, and drain well on paper towels.
3. Sauté onion and next 3 ingredients in hot oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir in tomatoes, salt, and pepper; cook 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in sausage, pasta, and cheese. Transfer mixture to serving platter, and serve immediately.

My hubby won't eat this because he absolutely hates chicken casseroles but I make it for me and the kids whenever he is out of town. It's really yummy and fresh tasting and I love things I can assemble ahead of time.

1 (10 3/4-oz.) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup (4 oz.) grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Topping: chopped tomatoes
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare rice according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cut avocados in half. Scoop avocado pulp into a medium bowl, and mash with salsa verde, chopped green chiles, and lime juice.

3. Stir together chicken, soup, and sour cream in a small saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until blended and slightly heated.
4. Spoon rice mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish; spoon chicken mixture over rice. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.

I love recipes!
I thought it would be really fun to start a recipe blog because I LOVE recipes! I especially love recipes that others have tried and thought were worth sharing. I have a very picky hubby who pretty much only likes meat and potatoes, a daughter who doesn't like red sauce or cheese (wth??), a son who likes what his sister likes, and a baby who will eat mostly anything as long as it isn't green. I will only share recipes that I have tried and liked and I hope you will too! Just send your recipes to my email address over there on the left and I will post them here. Also, feel free to comment on the recipes that you have tried with your opinions or ways to make them better. Hopefully this blog will give us some fresh food ideas to please our families!
