Sun Dried Blah Blah Blah

Last year, when I came up with the awesomeness that is New Food April, I did not know some things. At the end of NFA, I did. One thing I learned is that Rachael Ray feeds teams of hungry school boys. She must, otherwise she would not consider a half pound of uncooked noodles to be one serving. There was so much leftover food last year, that I swore to try to remember to put in a few leftover days into NFA 2011. Well, I did it. I used my leftover days strategically this year, putting them on Home Group night, the day I leave for the Ladies' Retreat (YAY!!!!) and the day after Noah's Birthday. Incidentally, for Noah's birthday, we are having tacos. He asked for that and cupcake pie. I'm still working on how to make cupcake pie a reality. I think it could possibly change my financial status if it's good... When we asked him about presents, he said he wanted a dead fish... I'm gonna go with Hungry Hungry Hippos instead. Back to the point at hand. Wednesday was Home Group night. But, alas! There were NO leftovers! I blame this on the extra awesome food as well as the lack of Rachael Ray meals. It worked out though, because since we didn't eat the Risotto on Monday, I had all the ingredients on hand for Wednesday. I had plans to go to town late in the afternoon, and I knew I wouldn't make it home in time to make dinner, so I made it before I left. This was also a Pampered Chef recipe. Just now, I tried to link to it, but apparently it's not on the website. I don't know why anyone would ask you to take the casing off of a raw sausage when you could just buy bulk sausage and cook that. I really don't. There's that. I added an extra sausage and some asparagus I had that was about to go bad. When it was done, it was beautiful! I had to get to town, so I didn't take any pictures. I figured that I would just take a picture when I got home and we ate it. Then I was super late getting home and the boys ate before I got there. Then, when I got home to eat it, it wasn't pretty at all. It tasted good to me, the boys disliked it a LOT! I put up that video of Hungry Hungry Hippos to distract you from the fact that there are no pics... Coming up: The Butter Sammie
