Living Insanity's Loving Food

  Boyfriend requested pasta for this weekend so I made my cajun chicken alfredo recipe for him!  He had seconds :)  that means he likes it.   Ingredients * 4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I had two chicken breasts that weighed 1.85 lbs)   * 1 cup blackening spice (I used cajun rib rub seasoning) * 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil * 3 tablespoons minced garlic * 1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes * 1/4 cup white wine * 3 cups heavy cream * 3/4 cup grated Parmesan * 1 teaspoon sea salt * 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 1 pound cooked fettuccine * 1/2 cup sliced scallions * Sliced cremini mushrooms Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Dredge the chicken breasts in spice and place in a large oven safe skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 15 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in ...

 I follow a lot of food and food trucks on Facebook.  410bbq was going to be in Columbia Thursday, so I planned a walk around the lake and a stop at the truck to grab some dinner.  I couldn't try any sides because of my diet, but there were soooooo many ribs in this box.  It's actually double stacked in there.  They all fell clean off the bone and had tons of smoke.  My co-worker got the ribs with two sides and really liked the coleslaw, but didn't like the tiny portion of baked beans.  

  I had my annual physical exam and it wasn't great news.  I ended up putting a few things in myfitness pal and veggie sushi came up as low calorie.  This meal also only cost me $14.  I have sweet potato and mixed veggie rolls, miso soup, and the house salad.  It comes with soy sauce and yum yum sauce.  

  A Facebook friend recommended putting chicken in the air fryer and I had a covid stash of chicken tenders in the freezer.  I decided to make some chicken salad because I bought celery to make stuffing and had so much leftover!  I like how the chicken got little grill marks.  The chicken salad has lasted me many meals too.  I've had it as a sandwich and also just scooped it with some Triscuits.  

 HoCo Brew Hive has been on my list of places to try for a while.  I got the nacho cheesesteak with sweet potato fries.  This was about a $20 meal and not worth it at all.  Wont be going back!

  I don't usually make cream of soup casseroles, but I wanted chicken and stuffing.  This was really easy by Cambell's Soup .   I woke up at 4am to report for snow removal at 5 and still did grocery pick up and made this dinner. Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion, diced (about 1/2 cup) 1 stalk celery, diced (about 1/2 cup) 1 cup chicken broth This is half a can 3 cup  dry  Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing (about 6 ounces) This is half a bag 1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast I used a rotisserie chicken that I diced and salted and peppered 1 can Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup  1/3 cup milk 1/4 teaspoon paprika Changes for the future:  add some diced mushrooms to the cream of mushroom soup.  Add some sage seasoning to the stuffing.  People also recommended adding a side of cranberry sauce to really make it feel like the holidays!   Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a s...

 I did the heart shaped cinnamon rolls with a can of cinnamon rolls that came with icing.  Then the boyfriend took me to Full on Crafts to get a le pilgrim sandwich!  It's a Thanksgiving sandwich with aioli, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and a side of hot gravy to dunk it in.  It was filling!
