Rosemary Chicken Pasta

Now that school is in full blown session, I am on the search for new, easy, yummy dinners. This one was all of that, plus I really liked the rosemary flavor in the cream sauce!! So yummy!! This was so easy to prepare... like less then 30 minutes! Love that! I used alot less of the butter then the recipe called for.... I normally do that with recipes. I don't like using too much butter. If there was a difference, we couldn't tell. It still tasted fabulous.

Fresh Lime Freeze

 When my twin sister and I were 14, and then when we were 15, we got to spend the summers in Wyoming. LOTS a great memories! One of the things I discovered on one of our summer trips were Lime Freezes! Seriously, SO. GOOD. So, when I discovered this little recipe, I had to try it. WOW! It was delicious, and brought back so many memories of summertime in Wyoming. You have to try this one.

Oh yes, and as a side note, I ALWAYS start to spell Wyoming....Whyoming. Every. single. time. I know it's not right, but that is what my brain tells my hand to type or write.

ingredients:
~a good quality vanilla ice cream
clear soda (sprite, 7up, generic works too)
ice
1 tsp. vanilla per batch
lots of rolled limes
green dye (optional. As you can see, I chose not to use the green dye. They still tasted fantastic!!!)
* fill your blender with ice cream. gradually add soda. squeeze in a couple limes and lots of ice.
*blend well.
there isn't an exact measurement to these- you just want them to end up thick and sour. you'll find the perfect concoction.
