Parsley Pesto Breadcrumb Pasta by Ashley

This is so good leftover! Also, I love my iron skillet. I use it for everything. I paired this with a salad and bread. You could even grill chicken and add it and I am sure it would be good.

Ingredients:
Salt
1 pound spaghetti ( i used whole wheat)
2 cloves garlic, chopped or grated (i used jarred garlic)
2 bunches of flat leaf parsley leaves
1/3 to 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus 3 tablespoons, divided
ground black pepper
1/4 cup of pine nuts (i used 1/2 cup. we love pine nuts)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Prep:
Boil spaghetti noodles according to package, drain

Parsley Pesto: place garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor. add salt and pepper. pulse until roughly chopped. with machine running pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of EVOO (just enough to make a thick, smooth paste) Reserve

Place a large skillet over medium heat with 3 TBS of olive oil. Add pine nuts and toast lightly. Add bread crumbs, stir to combine until golden and pine nuts are dark golden brown. (2-3 minutes) Add pesto and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice and season with pepper. Add the drained spaghetti and parmesan cheese to the skillet and toss.

Eric and I made this last night with bruschetta. It was so yummy! I brought leftovers to work for lunch and can't wait to eat it. The lemon makes this meal!

Buffalo Chicken Chili

Hey Friends!! This recipe is super easy and quite good. Beware that it is a little spicy. If you like wings or anything buffalo style then you will like this. Buffalo Chicken Chili Ingredients : 2 chicken breasts (cooked & shredded or raw & whole) I used 3 total. 1/2 bottle Frank's Buffalo Sauce 1 (15.5-oz) can beans (garbanzo, black, pinto, whatever!) I used garbanzo. 1 large sweet onion, chopped 2 (15-oz) can tomato sauce (oops! I think I only used 1 can) 1 can cream-style corn 1 cup salsa 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped I used sliced jalapenos in a jar. Directions : Dump everything into the crockpot, and stir well. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. If your chicken was raw when you put it in, take it out after about 8 hours, shred it, and then stir it back into the chili. Enjoy!

Yummy Corn Casserole By: Lindsey

Hey ladies! Well, just wanted to let you in on a GREAT recipe that my mother-in-law shared with me. EVERYTIME I make it people go on and on about how much they love it. The other day, at a neighborhood block party(where I knew no one) someone called me the corn girl and asked everyone to give me a round of applause for the corn casserole that I made(and they did). Ha! So, definitely try this one. You will LOVE it! 1 8oz. cream cheese 1 can creamed corn 1 can whole kernel corn(drained) 1 box of jiffy corn bread mix 1 stick of butter Mix all the ingredients together(I would highly recommend using a mixer...not by hand). Spray a small pyrex dish(unless you double the recipe, then use a 9x13). Pour the mixture into the dish. Bake on 400 for 45 min-1 hour. Take out when it is a little brown.
