Mixing Sauces

Hi!

So I had, what I thought, was a BRILLIANT never before seen idea for a dish the other day.  I am sure you have one of these before then you run to google to verify your idea is 100% unique right?  well I went to pinterest instead and I didn’t find anything so I was SO EXCITED. My idea was for a blend of pesto and alfredo sauce, the blend of flavors seemed so amazing to me.

I went to tell my sister about it and she started hysterical laughing.  What was the deal??? She informed me that not only was my recipie NOT unique but that the olive garden has it on their menu!  Seriously!? were they stalking me? Did they overhear me talking about it?!?!? how can this be!? Knowing this now I sort of felt deflated but I was still going to try and make it anyway because I knew it would be delicious. Then I noticed in my fridge that I had some bacon that needed to be used so I said WHY NOT! My husband always likes to have some protein with his meals so this was the perfect addition I thought.  I was so right!  It came out amazing.  Take that Olive Garden 😛

Blue Cheese is the Star of Tonight’s Show!!!

It is a little obscene how much I love cheese.  It’s definitely not normal but it is what it is!  One of my favorites is blue cheese so it is the star of this dish tonight.  I wanted to make a stuffed chicken and immediately thought to use ricotta cheese, but why does ricotta have to have all the fun and be the center of attention?!  It’s the star of Raviolis, Eggplant Parmesan, Lasagna, Stuffed Shells…etc…it’s a pretty conceited cheese and it was definitely shocked when it saw me reach behind it to grab my crumbled blue.  Sorry Ricotta your not invited tonight and you can’t sit with us!!!!
