Once Upon a Time...

  This is a story of a girl, a girl who read a blog post here, of a girl that emptied her cupboards and magically created a meal. Out of three things! With doubt and disbelief girl wanted to try this sorcery, so she went home emptied her cupboards (and freezer) and just like that, poof. Dinner was served... Ok maybe it wasn't that easy, but there was potential! So she took that potential and ran with it and created a cheesy, saucy, concoction of chicken and pasta. And here I am to share it with you.  Chicken MAMA's Garlic Parmesan  Penne Pasta Alfredo Sauce That's it. I know.  Now you guys get some pictures I KNOW.  This is a legit post with pictures and everything (even a gif!) 1. Cook the chicken: always important if you don't want salmonella. Bunch of different ways to do this. I chopped mine up and pan cooked it. 

This stuff is amazing. I seriously put it on everything. It's amazing. It's next to the parmesan cheese and they have a bunch of different flavors. Go buy it.

Boil the Pasta (Which takes forever fyi.)

Strain the pasta/mix in the chicken

I poured the alfredo sauce on after I put the pasta/chicken in the pan.. I suggest mixing it first. It was still amazing, but that's probably how I'll do it next time. 

Sprinkle some cheese on top, broil until melted, feast. 

Holy Grail Snackage.

I've done it! I've found the holy grail of snacks.

I'm a snacker -also a bored-eater, but that's a different story- I'm either reaching for something to munch on or chewing gum. Which makes it hard to be "healthy". But, of course, my mom to the rescue! She gave me these Coffee Almonds by Blue Diamond. They're seriously the best thing ever. They have caffeine in them -so maybe I can lower my coffee dose for the day- but they are seriously so so so so good. I've only tried the caramel macchiato flavor, but they also have coffee and mocha. mmmmmmm! Can't wait to go to Walmart later to hunt these bad boys down!


I've also been munching on Craisins -I know, these have been around for awhile- When I say I'm a snacker I mean a serious snacker, like I can eat the whole bag of craisins in 2 days. The big bag. I also sit at a desk so I get bored easily. -going back to being a bored eater- But on our last grocery trip to Walmart, I found Craisins in the little Raisin boxes! Perfect! I can take a box to work with me, and only eat that one. As opposed to taking the bag and eating it all. day. long.

Does anyone else have a snacking habit? How do you snack during the day?
