Ethnicity...

So my husband was trying to determine the true ethnicity of our dog, Bridger.

I think the photos speak for themselves.

So...whatd'ya think?
:-)

P.S. No need to contact the ASPCA. Bridger was only given 2 chips.

Easiest Chicken Parmigiana

The ingredients shown below are among those I try to keep on hand at all times:
Parmesan cheese, black olives, Classico pasta sauce, onions, garlic, canned sliced mushrooms, canned chicken breast, Gluten-free pasta of some sort (in this case rotini), and mozzarella cheese.

I know, we all like really fresh ingredients, but this little group of canned goods is great to have on hand for those times when you get home, it's nearly time for dinner, and you know you're going to open that bag of chocolate chips if you can't come up with something pretty fast!

This is so simple, I'm sure it shouldn't qualify as a recipe. Then again, it's a couple levels up from plain old Mac'n'Cheese in a box!


Easiest Chicken Parmigiana:

Cook gluten-free rotini according to package directions. I like Tinkyada. It's my favorite.

Saute a chopped onion and minced garlic in a T. olive oil.

Place cooked, drained rotini in a large bowl. Add in the onion and garlic. Mix in drained canned chicken which has been broken up with a fork. Pour pasta sauce on top, add drained and sliced black olives, drained sliced mushrooms, and 3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese. Stir carefully so that you can mix all the ingredients without breaking up the pasta.

Place half of the mixture into a baking dish that's been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Make a second layer with the remaining chicken/pasta mixture.

Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes until bubbly at edges. Remove cover and sprinkle more shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Return to oven, uncovered, to melt the cheese and bring it to just slightly golden at the edges.

Serve with a green salad.

This is definitely comfort food.
