carrie's awesome chicken & pesto pasta

This is a dish Carrie made for us the first week we had Anna. Since then i've made it for us a few times and for a few others who have had babies. Everyone raves about how great it is!

I box whole wheat penne pasta cooked and drained (or whatever kind you want, we have done regular, and veggie pasta)

4 oz cream cheese softened (I put this in right after I drain the noodles so it will melt a little more and mix easily)

1 jar Classico Pesto Sauce

1 can diced tomatoes drained

some fresh baby spinach leaves (as little or as much as you like)

diced chicken breast cooked (I have used left over chicken, the tyson already cooked stuff in a pinch, and fresh sauteed or grilled chicken)

toss all together and put in a baking dish

top with mozzarella cheese

put in oven for about 5 mins on broil (keep a close eye on it when it starts to get a little tan spots on top take it out)

Super easy if you have cooked chicken. (It is worth the tyson for me because it makes clean up so easy).

A new Tilapia Fav

We've loved Tilapia for a while, and usually just season with allspice and lemon juice. Well, i guess the allspice was old, so i threw it away. Last minute we found this easy recipe and happen to have all the ingredients, so we tried it. It's good...but I would suggest not cooking the max time...ours was just a little overdone.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan (for 2)

Original recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broiled-Tilapia-Parmesan/Detail.aspx

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 2-1/4 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/2 pound tilapia fillets

Directions

This recipe's Ingredients were scaled to yield a new amount. The directions below still refer to the original recipe yield of 8 servings.

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

Mini Turkey Meatloaves

My husband's office created a recipe book with suggestions from all of the employees. We tried this one the other night! I made 4 mini meatloaves, we ate almost 2 and froze the others for later!
SO EASY to make!!

Mix:
1.5 lb ground turkey
1 cup bread crumbs (I used italian breadcrumbs)
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 T. italian seasoning
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
Salt & Pepper

Whisk together:
1/4 cup ketchup
2 T. brown sugar
1 T. spicy brown mustard

Directions:
Line the bottom of a broiler pan or cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place in oven at 425 degrees. Whisk together ketchup mixture. In large bowl combine the meat and other ingredients. Blend together and divide into 4 parts. Shape into mini meatloaves about 4" long and 3" wide (mine were just blobs on the pan, doesn't matter if you don't care what it looks like). Brush loaf with ketchup mixture. Remove the heated pan from oven and mist with cooking spray. Transfer loaves to pan. Bake for 25-30 min. Remove and let sit 2-3 min to cool.

Enjoy!!!! We at it with broccoli & carrots! i might add some variations later.
