Roasted Vegetable Alfredo Pasta

This dish really hit the spot for me.  I served it with Jerk Chicken sliced at an angle to make it easy to fork.
The farmers markets seem to be in full swing now.  I got a HUGE zucchini for $0.75.  It makes enough for two meals.  I figure I'll slice and fry it up for the other.

Ingredients:
8 oz of pasta, cooked
2 Carrots
1 Small zucchini (I just cut the huge one I had in half)
1 Jar Alfredo Sauce
1 Stalk of Green onion
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Directions:
Cut up zucchini and carrots into 1/2" to 1" pieces.  Toss with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast at 400 F degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through.  Keep and eye on them, as zucchini cook relatively fast. Heat sauce and add to the pasta, then toss in the vegetables and season with slices of green onion.  I added some Tabasco to mine for a kick.  Delish!  

I've been keeping quite busy as I'm sure you all are too!  I hope everyone had a great 4th.  What did you do?

Roasted Carrots

 I have crossed over into the land of no return.  I love roasting. I love how the food tastes.  These carrots sweeten up as they roast.  They almost taste like sweet potato.  You can even squeeze some lemon over these after they're done.

Ingredients:
Carrots, peeled and sliced in half
Olive Oil
Adobe Seasoning
Lemon Juice, optional 

Directions:
 Start oven at 425F degrees. Lay sliced carrots on baking sheet.  Drizzle with Olive Oil and season with Adobe Seasoning.  Roast, flipping carrots once, for 30 minutes.  Dash with Lemon juice if you desire.
Enjoy! 

We recently had some really great weather.  My baby is even barefoot.  Boy did she like the grass! And yes, she is trying to use a stick as a teething device.

Cream Cheese Pepper Salad

This is a very delicious salad.  

What may look like tofu, is actually baked cream cheese cubed.  The croutons are homemade from my two day old french bread.  They are extra good when they soak up the dressing!

You can't see the sunflower seeds or pepper rings..I forgot to take pictures the night I made it!

Ingredients: 

Cream cheese, cubed in bite size pieces
Orange zest
Pepper
Garlic powder
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Carrot, shaved
Sunflower seeds
Mild Pepper rings, sliced a bit smaller
Croutons 


I did a balsamic dressing for this salad, but you could probably use any kind.

Directions:
 
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Place cream cheese on non stick sprayed baking pan.

Sprinkle with Garlic powder, orange zest and pepper to your taste.

Bake 8 to 10 Minutes until lightly browned. Cool slightly, then removed to a plate; set aside.

Add the rest of your ingredients to a bowl, top with cream cheese and drizzle dressing.

So very good, and a nice compliment to almost any meal.

I  went to Strack and Van til and got the yellow pepper rings and sunflower seeds from the salad bar. Only cost me $0.20, instead of $5.00. Now that works for me!

Sorry I haven't sent anything in awhile. I haven't had a camera for days...long days. I made some beautiful stuffed pork chops last night, and couldn't get a picture. Sad, but I guess that means I'll have to make them again so I can share them with you. 

I hope everyone is well. I'm working on making an app for my blog, so hopefully that will be coming soon!
