I Topped Rachael Ray!

Well, perhaps not in quality, but in timing I did! :-) Today I made a fantastic little spur-of-the-moment, creative, & yummy lunch in less than 20 minutes! That's right - this was no 30 minute meal! My recipe you might ask? Don't get too excited, because it is super simple, but I will share:

-1 cup penne pasta, or whatever you desire
-1 small can of 98% fat-free broccoli cheese condensed soup (next time I'm trying cream of mushroom, or maybe even cream of celery)
-Handful of frozen green peas
-Seasonings of your choice (I used garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper, & red pepper flakes)

Cook pasta as directed, reduce heat to low and drain, leaving only enough of the starchy water to cover the bottom of the pan, add the can of soup and seasonings. After about two minutes, turn off heat, add peas, and cover for 5 minutes, stir to mix and Enjoy! :-)
(Total time: 18 minutes)

This has truly been a wonderful weekend. Hope yours was too!

Back to School

Indeed, my beautiful Christmas break has come to a close, and taken all the holiday fun and food with it, but my memories are wonderful ones. I am excited about this semester because it is my last, and so many interesting things will come into my orbit during these next five months. Already, I am intrigued by my Trends & Issues in Healthcare class, and overjoyed at the prospect of furthering my knowledge of neurology nursing, which is what I hope to specialize in someday soon, or maybe even a bit later.

I think 2007 will be groovy.
