My friend make Chocolate Oreo Truffles. OH. MY. LANTA. Best things ever.

I don't know the recipe, because if I did, I would be SO fat.

My family used to be 7th Day Adventist. So, we were vegetarian (not super strictly, just at home). We used to make Cottage Cheese Patties.

Ok! It sounds really gross, but I guarantee it's good. (we tricked our friends by not telling them what they were. They liked them!) You put mushroom soup on them like gravy.

I know what I'm making for dinner, now.

OH MAHHH!!! I read "Cottage Cheese Patties" and my mouth started wateringggg...That's definitely something I want to try ^_^ (It doesn't sound gross in any way =P)

Ok I need some ideas for supper?

I love to make Orange Julias any body else like it?

Well there's this really cool trick with Korean food. If it has rice, and it's in a stone bowl, the rice will stick to the sides and bottom of the bowl and make this really awesome crunchy rice.

Or you can stick rice in a pan, put on high, let it sit for 5-7 minutes per side, and then have fun.

So I created this recipe fairly recently, and my family really likes it [meaning we are literally just waiting for our dad to finish his first helping so we can devourer our seconds]. I cook for a family of five so you might need to downsize the recipe or have tons of leftovers =P I don't really like measuring things out, and I rarely actually end up measuring stuff [that's why I'm terrible at baking...Heh...] especially when it involves cream sauces =P so I'll do my best to convert it into a recipe.

Serving Size: 5

Ingredients:

-16oz Spiral Pasta
-3 medium sized chicken breasts
-1 small onion diced
-4 Tbs of butter
-3 Tbs of flour [I use gluten free flour, which makes the sauce thicker than regular flour, but any type of flour will do]
-1 cup of milk [you can add a bit of heavy whipping cream or 1/2 and 1/2 if you want]
-1 cup of chicken broth
-4oz can of mushrooms [you don't need to add this, but it adds good flavor]
-1 cup of Parmesan cheese
-1/4 tsp of garlic
-2 tbsp of Oregano
-1/4 tsp of salt
-1/4 tsp of pepper [to taste]
- can of tomatoes with green chilies


Directions:

1. Heat up a large pot (5-6 quarts) of water and let it sit until a rolling boil. Then pour in the pasta and cook according to the instructions.

2. Meanwhile cut up the chicken into bite sized pieces and saute in a large skillet with Extra virgin olive oil and the onions. Once the chicken is done stir in the mushrooms, but reserve the mushroom juice.

3. In a medium sized saucepan heat up the butter over medium heat till bubbly. Little by little whisk in the flour. Tilt the pan to the side while whisking in the flour so it blends better with the butter. After that gradually whisk in the milk and then the broth. If the sauce isn't thickening up enough whisk in more flour. Next, whisk in the reserved mushroom juice, Cheese, Garlic, Oregano, Salt, and Pepper.

4. Lastly, combine the pasta, sauce, chicken mushroom mixture, and the can of tomatoes. I normally heat it up on the stove right before serving so it's nice and hot. Serve with your favorite green veggies or a few slices of crunchy red peppers.

Well that's all! I hope you enjoyed reading this recipe and that it has inspired you to try new things in the kitchen =P If you decide to try this recipe out let me know what you think of it ^_^
