This is a great pasta for lent.  This is one of my favorite pastas.  I love to make this and have the left overs for lunch.

1 lb penne pasta
11 oz. Goat cheese
3/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup of cooked garbanzo beans
2 cloves of garlic

Directions:  Cook pasta according to directions.   Reserve some of the pasta water. Use a skillet to make sauce.  Mince garlic and put in skillet with chicken stock bring to a low simmer.  Break up goat cheese and put in skillet, stir until all of the cheese is melted.  Add garbanzo beans so that they warm.  Toss sauce with pasta, add sun dried tomatoes.  Salt to taste.  Serve right away.  If sauce is to thick or it rests for too long before serving use pasta water to thin.  Enjoy!

    I LOVE goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes! The only reason I rarely make anything with goat cheese is because my husband doesn't like it :( I may try this one anyway!

Taco Night

I know Taco night is So easy.  I set mine up like a taco bar.  My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free.  Look around your grocery, you may find similar items. Directions Put beef and 1 package seasoning in skillet and break up while cooking until all meat is browned.  In another skillet put your cleaned shrimp with shell and tail removed.  Add other package of seasoning to shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink.  Heat taco shells in oven according to directions.

I Have A Problem

 I am writing something other than a recipe today.  Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem.  The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food.  So the dishes you see are my dishes.  I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few.  So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked.  However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave.  So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store.  So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes.  They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop.  I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
