Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

I was so excited that this dish was super easy to make since the premier of Real Housewives of New Jersey is on tonight.  I just had to get through cooking dinner, cleaning up, watching my husband's show and then it's just me & all the Jersey housewives!!!
This pasta has just enough spice and I love the peas (my favorite veggie) added to the dish!

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Well I was excited for this dish because it requires little prep.  It was just okay.  First I was so hungry that I cut down the cook time and the rolls didn't cook all the way.  Tops looked nice and brown, but the bottoms of the buns were doughy.  Maybe i'll make it again.  It might be a good way to hide veggies for kids!

Aden & Anais Crib Sheets!

How many times have you purchased crib sheets and wash them a million times only to find out that they are not soft and will never be soft?  I feel like i've spent a small fortune trying to find soft sheets for my little guy.  He loves his Aden and Anais dream blanket and security blankets that he sleeps with them under his face.  I almost died when I saw that Aden & Anais just came out with their super soft fabric in a crib sheet!  Now they are super expensive for sheets (I mean all their other stuff is expensive), but it's worth it right?? 
Below is the link to Amazon.com where you can purchase these sheets!  My credit card is already out!

Perfection!

Kate Middleton is perfection in my mind.  She looks so stunning in this Orla Kiely dress.  I just love everything she wears and how she carries herself.  Just lovely!  Photo from People.com

Lemon Orzo with Asparagus and Tomatoes

When you mix all my favorite things together this is what you get:
Lemon
Orzo Pasta
Asparagus
Tomatoes
Cheese

This recipe is fantastic.  You can serve it warm or cold, but I would use it as a side.  I tried eating it as a main dish and it's not really enough.  It is super fantastic though.  I am so obsessed with lemons right now...probably since I now have a lemon tree in my back yard!  And I love the petite Orzo pasta as well.  The light dressing on the top was really nice.  Next time I think i'll top the salad with prosciutto.
The recipe comes from another great blog I found via Pinterest called A Big Mouthful Adventures In Food.

Jalapeno Popper Pizza

Again another great recipe from Heather Christo.  I just love all the cream cheese and the heat from the Jalapeno and Shallot.  This was super easy to make.  I skipped making the dough based on time and used a premade dough and followed the cooking directions on the package, but wow this pizza is good!
