Chicken in a Basil Cream Sauce

I felt like this could be served at Ruby Tuesday or Applebees. It's not a big deal :)


Here is the recipe I used: http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/192234/Chicken-in-Basil-Cream-(9)

*I used dry basil instead of fresh.
**I also cooked some pasta and put the sauce all over that too.

It was so good!!!!!

Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli

Joey's parents went to a shrimp harvesting festival and came back with a 1lb of shrimp for all the kids. Joey gave me his to cook up and I decided to do something easy but tasty with it.


Shrimp Pasta

  • 1 lb Shrimp, detailed and devined
  • Thin whole wheat spaghetti, cooked
  • 2 T. Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 T. Lemon juice
  • Tony Chachere's
  • Lemon pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese
Cook the shrimp with the olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice till pink. Make sure to not let the garlic burn. Add to the cooked pasta and season with more olive oil, lemon pepper, Tony's, and parmesan cheese.

Broccoli

  • 2 heads of broccoli
  • 2 T. Water
  • Lemon juice
Steam broccoli with 2 T water in a pot over medium heat till tender. Drain remaining water and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Mediterranean Pasta

Here is a little recipe I made up myself.

What you need:

  • 3 cups Whole wheat penne pasta
  • 1lb Cooked chicken (I cut up chicken tenderloin and cooked with chardonnay, lemon juice, garlic, and lemon pepper)
  • 1 Yellow onion
  • 1 Red pepper
  • 1 Container of feta cheese
  • Lemon juice, olive oil, and lemon pepper to taste.
Mix all together and voila, a tasty dinner!

*i adapted this recipe from a couscous recipe, but Joey doesn't like couscous :(  That recipe calls for cucumbers and lime juice instead of lemon.
