Don’t cha just hate when you can’t decide what to make for dinner??
Well, Spring can’t decide if it’s coming or going here in Nebraska, and it’s COLD.
We have gone from 70’s and sun, to severe thunderstorms, to hail…and blizzards.
The saying “If you don’t like the weather in Nebraska, wait 5 minutes and it’ll change”
is SO TRUE!!
Needless to say, I have been sticking pretty close to home the last couple of days.
I didn’t want to go anywhere to pick anything up, I just wanted to make something with what I had.
I told the kids I should name this “everything but the kitchen sink pasta.”
Actually, some of my kids favorite meals are ones I make up.
This will be one of them.

Don’t second guess if your chicken is done or not. This Thermapen Mk4 is the best meat thermometer I have ever owned!
