Good Morning, everyone! Happy Labor Day! I hope you all take some time to enjoy this beautiful day and all the new blessings and mercies God provided.
I have a new recipe I want you to try. My parents went away on a cruise last week and celebrated their 37th Anniversary. I wanted to do something special for them, so last night I made a welcome home dinner. I was looking for something quick and delicious and then it hit me. At the store, there were little flyers for one pot meals featuring Knorr Pasta Sides. I decided to give it a go and made Smokey Mac and Cheese Pasta. It came out awesome and you should definitely try it. It’s similar to last week’s recipe. There’s pasta, onions and bacon along with chicken, red pepper, and cheddar cheese. For extra veggies, I also made a side salad.
