I am basically obsessed with white jeans. I have two pairs: flares and skinnies. I can't get enough of either! I love the bright colors and neutral shoes. Swoon.

I ADORE Blair's style. ADORE. This is actually a dress and skirt combo. She is so creative with her outfits, and is always on the mark. Oh, and, those shoes. Le sigh. Gingham, I love you!

Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

Another huge success inspired by Pinterest! Highly recommend this recipe! I modified; my recipe is the one described.

Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

1/4 c olive oil 

1 T crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

1 T garlic

2 chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
5-6 baby portabella mushrooms

1 26 oz jar Marinara sauce 

1 c Light Alfredo sauce

1 lb whole wheat Rigatoni

Heat olive oil, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper and garlic for about 5 minutes so that the flavors infuse into the oil. Add the chicken. Cook on medium high heat to an internal temp of 165. Add mushrooms and allow to cook for a few minutes. Drain and add marinara and alfredo sauces. Heat through. Serve over rigatoni. Enjoy!

Note: I will probably add broccoli and a few other veggies next time!

Country Club Chicken

Barry and I are celebrating Valentine's Wednesday night instead of tomorrow. We'll have a family celebration Tuesday, for which I will make this delightful meal, and take it out on the town for a fancy dinner on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to both!

Chop the onion. Clean and chop the mushrooms. Peel and chop the apple.
