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?

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

 These Cinnamon Rolls are so soft and tasty. 

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg

3 tablespoons softened butter
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup white sugar
 
 Directions
In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk, water, and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm. Place milk mixture, salt, flour, yeast, sugar, and eggs in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle. Press Start. My machine takes 1 1/2hrs to finish.

Once Dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine.  On a floured surface, roll into a large rectangle. Smear with the softened butter. Combine the cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle over the rectangle.
 
Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Cut into 12 slices. Place the rolls cut side down into a 9x13-inch greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake rolls until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 10 minutes. 

I frosted my rolls with the Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese I made here

Embellished T- Shirt with Cut Fabric Flowers

 I was already wearing this shirt today, and I couldn't think of any jewelry I had to wear to make it look better.
I stopped at Joann's and got a 1/4 yard of fabric. 

 I cut out a couple flowers.

 Got them situated and pinned and sewed with a baste stitch around all of it.  Then I went back with a zigzag stitch for the edges.  I'm hoping it frays a little after washing for a more vintage look.

 Finished!

What do you think??  Come by and leave me a comment!
