Garlic Chicken Pasta

Garlic Chicken Pasta

By Natalie Giron

4 chicken breasts
1 lb penne pasta (or your favorite)
butter
garlic cloves
basil

Boil water for pasta. Saute chicken in skillet and season with salt, pepper, and anything else you like. I use red pepper, garlic salt or season all. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. When pasta is done, add butter and garlic. I add the butter and garlic to taste but you can start with at least 2 Tbl of butter and 1-2 garlic cloves. Toss the cooked chicken with pasta and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese shreds. If you don't want to use garlic cloves, garlic salt is really good too. A little goes a long way, so add to taste.

Personal Pizzas

Personal Pizzas

By Natalie Giron

Rhodes Rolls, thawed
Pizza Sauce
Cheese
Your choice of toppings

Flatten ball of dough into a mini pizza ( if the dough is frozen I just pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so until I can shape it) I'm sure the rest is self-explanatory.... Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350, or until cheese is melted and crust is light brown. We love this because we usually have everything on hand and the boys love rolling out their dough and putting the toppings on their own lil pizzas.
