Fun on Fridays and Early Menu Plan Monday...or late depending on how you look at it :)

I thought I would post a video of one of our favorite things to do as a family...dance around and listen to great music. We probably dance around before bed 3-4 nights a week... care to try it? I bet you'll like it :)..try to ignore me bossing everyone around...I know, I'm a control freak but I'm working on it... but the dancing really is fun, freeing almost!

Chicken Angelina- Revised by me :)

8 iz multigrain thin spaghetti
2 1/2 c. water
1/3 c sun dried tomato garlic pesto
1 T. capers
2 T butter
4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 oz baby spinach leaves
2 T. Dried Basil Leaves or 1/3 c. Fresh Basil Leaves chopped
4 Roma Tomatoes
2 T Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

1. Heat Olive Oil in Large Pan on Med-High. Cut up chicken into slices and place in hot pan. Cook for about 8 minutes and add basil and tomatoes. Cook for another 3 min or until flavors are blended.

2. In another saucepan, break pasta in half and add water, tomato, pesto, capers and butter. Cover and bring to boil on med-high head stirring often. When water boils, reduce heat to med and simmer 6-9 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.

3. Stir in arugula and cook 1-2 more minutes until leaves are wilted. arrange pasta on plates and place slices of chicken on top. Sprinkle with parmesean if you like. Enjoy!
That's about it!! I am going to post this on Monday to the Orgjunkie's Menu Plan Monday!! Enjoy!

  2. Hey Allison,
    Brian and I were just saying how all of our friends are now all over the country. If we could all just somehow get together, that would be great! We could have dance parties all the time :)
