Pasta Night! ^_^

Today is Monday and it's Pasta Night at our house =) I am so excited about Dinner.

Tonight I'll be making Spaghetti with Ground turkey. It's pretty Simple and Quick. I'll also be making some Pillsbury biscuits to serve on the side.

This is all I'll need

ground turkey (I prefer the Italian Seasoned variety)

Tomato sauce

Dried Italian herbs

Basil

Oregano (maybe) 

1/2 box of spaghetti

Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat 

Add a little bit of olive oil to the water to prevent spaghetti from sticking to each other

When the water Boils

Add Pasta and cook it according to the package

While That's taking place grab a large sauce pan or skillet (I usually use the skillet)

Cook ground turkey over medium high heat. 

Once meat is cooked, drain off fat

Add in tomato sauce (I'll be using 

Ten add whatever seasoning you like and adjust seasoning to taste.

Some seasoning ideas would be onion flakes, garlic powder, Italian herbs, basil. Let simmer while pasta finishes cooking. 

Drain pasta 

Serve with meat sauce on top =)

Things go so much smoother when I meal Plan.

Simple White Cake

(Recipe I found online, haven't tried it yet :)

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.

2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.

3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.
