Well, I looked around the kitchen and had three ingredients, but didn’t know what I wanted to make:  1) Chicken breast, 2) Asparagus, 3) Prosciutto.

My original thought for dinner was to marinate the chicken in something and then grill them, then wrap the asparagus in the prosciutto and grille that… then make some potato dish.

A couple of months ago, I was over our friend Mary I’s house and we were talking about, of all things, food! I mentioned how I made gnocchi with the kids and we had a great time doing it as a family… and Mary thought “ooh, let’s have a get together and make gnocchi”. Well, we did it and it was an absolute success!

I want my babyback, babyback, babyback… ribs

I made ribs this week – they were so yummy!  Best part was the leftovers – let me tell you.

To start, I took babyback ribs (pork) and hit them with a rub.  I wrapped them in foil and stuck them in a bar-b-que stand thingy (do you like my technical lingo?).

I haven’t made sausage and peppers in forever… mainly because nobody will eat them but me!

So, I was at Fresh Acres (owned by Big Y) and saw some nice Chicken Sausage and some nice HOT Italian sausage and decided to make a small batch for myself.

Here’s something I whipped together tonight for dinner – MAN it was good! I have one of those cast iron skillets, I think I got it from BJ’s or Home Goods? That worked out great. I first made a batch of cornbread with the skillet and while it was still hot from the oven, I made this recipe! What makes it so darn good is that I used ONE pan for the entire meal.
