Paula Deen's Mac & Cheese is in the crock pot now. DH is at work tonight and then going to Vegas tomorrow....so I'm planning on munching on that all weekend, yum!
M: skinny taste chicken cordon bleu, asparagus & some yummy roasted red potatoes (I cut them into little wedges, tossed in a bit of leftover pesto and baked 'em up till they were all browned and crispy - they were so good - the chicken was so so, I didn't love it)
T: grilled lamb kebabs (slightly adapted Ina Garten recipe, marinated in yogurt, rosemary, lemon juice and garlic, they were incredible!) couscous w/ pistachios & craisins, roasted broccoli and cauliflower
W: morningstar veggie 'chicken' patties, sweet potato oven fries, salad from a bag
DH stayed home from work today, and came home early yesterday, so I've been lucky! He's a much better cook than me. Tonight, we're having fettuccine with sweet pepper cayenne sauce. We've never tried this recipe, but sounds pretty good! We love allrecipes.com.
Ingredients
12 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
2 red bell peppers, julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup reduced fat sour cream
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, spray cooking oil in a large skillet and saute red bell peppers, garlic and cayenne pepper over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in sour cream and broth; simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
Toss hot pasta with sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste; serve.

Very spicy! DH even used less cayenne pepper than the recipe called for, and it was still pretty spicy.
