"You Won’t Be Single for Long" Vodka Cream Pasta

This recipe is from Rachael Ray‘s first “30 Minute Meals” book. I don’t make a lot of Rachael’s recent recipes because I think they’ve lost a little of their creativity, but this is a throw-back to her simple recipe days. It’s easy to make and most of the ingredients are stuff that I keep onContinue reading “"You Won’t Be Single for Long" Vodka Cream Pasta”

Bacon-wrapped Chicken in Cream Sauce

This dish is pretty easy to prepare, but it either has to be baked for a very long time in the oven, or cooked all day in a slow-cooker. It makes the creamiest, not-so-healthiest dish that will be loved by everyone. 8 boneless chicken breast halves Garlic Power Salt and pepper to taste 8 baconContinue reading “Bacon-wrapped Chicken in Cream Sauce”
