This recipe still has all the fresh tasting garlic and buttery goodness of the traditional recipe, but is served over zucchini noodles, or the more fun way of saying it 'zoodles', to get rid of all those carbs from the pasta. Just for the record... I didn't miss the pasta at all!

I need to add those to the menu soon!

This salad is very pretty with all the beautiful colors. It's also very refreshing with the cucumbers and dill, so it would be something nice and different to take to a pot luck.

Chicken Florentine Pasta Recipe

Chicken Florentine Pasta is similar to a Chicken Florentine dish, but it is served over pasta...just like it says in the name, so I have no idea why I felt the need to explain it, but I did <grin>.

Florentine recipes typically feature some kind of protein served on a bed of spinach and smothered in a deliciously cheesy Mornay sauce.

Chicken Florentine is a bit boring to me, so to change it up I added the pasta. Plus I've been on a kind of pasta kick recently. Late at night I've been getting hit with ideas for fun new pasta dishes such as Chicken Pot Pie Pasta, Spinach Artichoke Pasta, Spicy Chicken Pasta, Chicken Fajita Pasta, and the list could go on, but you get the idea! Check out my pasta page for more yummy pasta recipes.

This pasta dish has bite sized pieces of pan seared chicken, sauteed garlic baby spinach, and grape tomatoes on a bed of linguine. I topped it all off with a Green Onion and Parmesan Mornay Sauce that is out of this world! The sauce has a little bit of Swiss cheese in it which gives it just a hint of tang. I like that! I'm not a huge fan of Swiss cheese but it sure works in this sauce!

Spicy Tuna Pasta Recipe

Spicy Tuna Pasta - is really easy and makes a light meal that tastes great any night of the week! It reheats nicely too!

I've had a different work schedule for several months, and it has been a challenge trying to make the new hours fit in with our lifestyle. I tried making meals on the weekend and eating leftovers all week, which left us with a lot of...well, leftovers. I don't know what we were eating, but it wasn't the leftovers!

Clearly that wasn't the answer! Then I came up with what I thought was truly genius! I prepped something during the day and Don did the cooking while I finished up at work! He did a fantastic job! That man can cook a steak like none other, and he learned how to roast chicken breasts to perfection! I was getting spoiled, but I could tell he wasn't into it quite as much as I. What a bummer! This girl could get used to being waited on every night! It was fun...while it lasted!
