What's for dinner: chicken peso pasta

Last Thursday I tried a new recipe that I found online. It was so good, I thought I would share it with everyone. We loved it so much we will be having it again. This is great for a cold night and so easy to make.

What you need


  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 1/4 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Cut them into cubes
  • 1 can of Campbell's condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup of pesto sauce
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 package of farafalle pasta (cooked and drained)


Directions


  • heat the butter in a 10 inch skillet medium heat. Add the Chicken and cook until browned
  • cook pasta as directed on box
  • stir in the soup, pesto, and milk into the skillet the chicken is in and heat until it boils. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta until mix is hot and bubbly 


After that it is ready to serve. I added pine nuts to ours and it really brought out the flavor. You could also add tomatoes.  I highly recommend this great recipe, and hope you enjoy it too.

Crazy Weather

This weather has been crazy. First there were two ice days in December to read about that experience click here. Just when the weather was getting nice again, and boom a complete change in 24 hours.

Saturday was beautiful, B and I went up to the lake house and had a great time. Sunday, the weather was starting to get bad so, we decided to head back home before it became worse, as did my Mom. Not the best plan in the world, because as we started our journey the weather took a violent turn for the worse. We had sleet and thunder and lighting. My Mom turned around before we did to head back as the thunder sleet grew worse and visibility too. So, B and I decided to turn around and head back to the house. We finally were able to get home Monday afternoon. Crazy but fun times. Below is what the driveway looked like. After we got back we watched huge snow flurries come down. Wish I had a video of that.
