Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I was feeling pasta-y the other night–it’s a thing, I promise–and looking for something new; what I found was this 15 Minute Broccoli Chicken in Cream Cheese Sundried Tomato Sauce. It used up more than one item in the fridge, which was nice, and it was a change from our recent fare, which was, you know, also nice. I would have preferred it over regular pasta, which I just plain like better than whole wheat, but one makes healthy efforts when and where one can and feels up to it, right? I also added some chicken broth and might have added more, since there wasn’t much sauce to speak of. (Partly because it really wanted 12 oz of pasta–or even 8–rather than a pound.) Reactions were mixed, of course. The youngest was not pleased at the sundried tomatoes (which isn’t something I’ve really cooked with before), and my second girlie doesn’t like it when broccoli is friends with other foods. My son loved it, however, so that was something! As for me–I’m thinking that with more chicken broth and 12 oz of regular pasta, I just might make it again.*

*I might also add bacon. Because bacon.
