Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake

This recipe is one that my sister recently found. I helped her cook it both times that we have cooked it, and I absolutely love this recipe. We eat it up fast when we make this. It's pretty easy to cook and absolutely worth the amount of time to make it.

Ingredients:

2 cups Chicken

2 cloves Garlic

2 tsp Parsley

2 (16 oz) containers of Alfredo Sauce

1 (16 oz) package of Penne Pasta Noodles

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

2 cups Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated)

1 (15 oz) container of Ricotta Cheese

1 cup Sour Cream

Wow that's a lot of ingredients!!!!

Here's How To:

Step 1: Sauté the chicken in a large pan then set aside.

Step 2: Boil Penne pasta in a large pot of water according to the directions on the package. Drain the water and return the pasta to the pot.

Step 3: Add all the remaining ingredients into the pot except for the mozzarella cheese. Stir together to combine. 

Step 4: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle the top generously and evenly with the mozzarella.

Step 5: Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Lack of Posting

So I don't really post very often on this blog. That's because I'm in college and the only building with a kitchen for students to cook in is a long way away. I will be cooking when I get home for breaks, and when I go home on some weekends. This Friday is the start of spring break, so you guys will have ten days' worth of posts and recipes. After that I will be inactive again for a month. Summer vacation starts for me on May 5th. I can't wait to get to post more recipes, and I'm sorry that it takes me so long just to post one. Have a lovely day my friends.

A Pie for Pi Day

Let me start by saying don't tell your loved ones that you have a blog. They will try to tell you what to post, or at least try to put their ideas into everything of yours. That being said, my mom told me that I "had" to do a post about pie for Pi day. So here's a pie for Pi day. This is an oldie but a goody. I swear we have it for ever family get together, whether it be a big holiday or just a planned family day. That being said, I LOVE this pie!!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

• Ham and Egg Cups
  
  
  

  

  Ingredients:

  8 slices sugar-cured deli ham
• 4 tbsp/1 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 large eggs

  salt and pepper for taste

  
  

  These are actually really delicious. I loved them so much when I made them. I added more cheese on top because I like cheese a little too much, but if you don't want to add the extra cheese that's ok too. The ham and egg cups are very simple and very easy to make. (Perfect for a college student, or anyone, who doesn't want to take too much time on breakfast.)

  Here's How To:

  
  

  1.  

  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat 8 muffin cups with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2.  

  Position 2 slices of ham in each of the muffin cups to insure that there are no holes in the bottom of the ham "cups." Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the cheese in the bottom of each cup.

  3.  

  Whisk up the eggs and the pour a little bit of egg in each ham cup. Sprinkle each egg lightly with salt and pepper. Bake about 15 minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Carefully remove the egg cups using the ham to lift onto serving plates.
