Lately, I’ve been cooking a meal every now and then for a friend in need.\u00a0 It is hard to come up with something that you think someone will like…and that can easily be reheated or cooked without any fuss.\u00a0 Also, you never know what the person may like or dislike.\u00a0 And since we are vegetarian, it always throws an extra bit of difficulty into the mix.\u00a0 So far, I have cooked lots of soup, upside down pizza, macaroni and cheese, vegetable pie…and a few others that I can’t recall.<\/p>\n

Today I decided to cook one of my favorite recipes.\u00a0 It is from Rachel Ray….”You won’t be single for long” vodka cream pasta.\u00a0 It is reasonably easy to make and incredibly delicious and filling.\u00a0 It is definitely a “comfort” food.<\/p>\n

Along with the pasta dish, I love to make bread..but I don’t love all the time it takes.\u00a0 So, I love my bread machine.\u00a0 I usually make rolls in my bread machine…..but I have been trying to experiment with different types of bread.\u00a0 One of my first experiments is making crusty french bread.\u00a0 I got the recipe from the BreadExperience.com<\/a> site. The recipe worked out great and it was sooo delicious!!\u00a0 Though, it did take a long time….so much for the bread machine saving time…..lots of waiting and rising and more waiting and rising.\u00a0 But it was worth it..though it tasted like french bread, it had more of a sourdough texture…I am going to try it again!!!\u00a0 This time I think I may purchase one of those LaCroche things!<\/p>\n

There will be a salad, but then there will also be dessert….just good old chocolate chip cookies. \u00a0 I mean, what is better than a good ol’ chocolate chip cookie made from scratch!\u00a0 To me, that is heaven!\u00a0 When I make chocolate chip cookies, I just use the Nestle Tollhouse recipe.\u00a0 It has been my favorite.<\/p>\n
