Kim's Spicy Chicken Pasta

My friend, Kim, is a great cook.

Matter of fact, when we have dinner together, my boy cherub wants her to make biscuits.

It doesn't matter what we're having, he wants to know if she can do the biscuits.

I've tried to make her biscuits -- and honestly, they don't taste the same.

But close.

But not the same.

I keep trying!

This pasta dish is one of Kim's "go to" dinners at her house.

She has a house of boys and this is a crowd pleaser!

What I like about this is it's easy and tasty!

Two very important things!
It also reheats beautifully!

So for lunch the next day, people will be drooling over your impressive left-over dinner.

. . .and you can keep it a secret that it's easy!

Kim's Spicy Chicken Pasta

Noodles (I prefer linguine because it holds sauce well)
chicken (left-over grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, roasted or baked chicken)
onions, chopped
bell peppers, if you want them, chopped
mushrooms, if that floats your boat, sliced
olive oil
Tony Chachere's Creole or Blackening spice, to taste
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Parmesan cheese, grated, to taste
heavy cream . . . oh heck, you can use 1/2 & 1/2 or evaporated milk, amount depends on how much sauce you want/need.

Cook your noodles according to the package directions. Drain.

In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil and saute the onions, peppers, mushrooms, and any other veggie you want to add! Throw in the diced, pulled, or chopped cooked chicken. Cook until hot. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Add the creole spice and red pepper flakes to taste. Dump in the noodles and stir until well coated.

Serve.

**I made the chicken cream sauce and then divided it to season one mild, for the girl cherub, and one spicy for the rest of the family. It was totally easy and tasted great.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
