Photobucket

A delicious pasta dish

Mix together:
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4C softened butter
2 tsp Italian seasoning
2/3C milk

Blend those together well and then microwave in 30 minute intervals until it's warm, stirring each time.

Prepare 8 oz. of your favorite pasta (I used penne) according to pkg directions.

Chop up cooked chicken and crispy bacon.

Stir together cream cheese mixture and pasta. Add bacon and chicken and toss. I'm sure, if you're smart, you could add some veggies to this. Top with 1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese.

Delicious!

Burgers

I'm sorry I don't have a final picture of these, especially since they were so amazingly delicious. But I'm not very good at remembering the after shot!

Anyway, these are Cheddar Ranch Spinach burgers. I made them up.

Mix:
ground beef
ranch dressing powder
worchestershire sauce
shredded cheddar
fresh spinach
salt and pepper

Form patties and fry them up. These were really amazing.

A trip to the Natural Science Museum

Thank goodness for Groupon. I have gotten some great deals through them. One of them was a year membership to the Natural Science Museum. We took a trip over with our buddies Cindy and Thomas for the frog exhibit.
