Sausage, Peppers, and Pasta... Oh my!

We made some tasty goodness the other night. SOOOO Yummy! The peppers, tomato puree, sausage, and cheese all combine for amazing flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper. 5 Spoons!

You can find the link to the recipe at the end of the post.

It started out looking like this:

See how nicely I cut up those peppers and sausages? It's so colorful!

Note for next time: When you cut the sausages too large, they'll take longer to cook.

The recipe called for diced tomatoes. I'm not a fan of tomato chunks. I like ketchup. I like spaghetti sauce. I don't like raw or cooked tomatoes. So I used my fun toy to puree them.

This turned out to be an awesome choice. Substituting tomato or spaghetti sauce would have been too thick and heavy. This added just the right amount of flavor and a light sauce.

Then mix in the pasta and CHEESE!

And you're ready to serve, sprinkled with Parmesan. (More CHEESE!)

You can find it here and make it yourself. Highly recommended!

Black Cherry Delight Popcorn

One of many awesome wedding gifts we received was a cookbook titled 101 Things to do with Popcorn. There are some interesting recipes inside and some really fun ones. I've made a couple and decided to try something new tonight. I didn't have the right ingredients for anything specific from the book, so I mixed and matched and came up with my own concoction. To start, you need some popped popcorn. We don't want the special butter or movie popcorn you can buy in the store because we're putting our own topping on it. So we want to start with about 1/3 cup of unpopped kernels and we're going to dump them in a regular old brown paper lunch bag. Fold up the top of the bag so the kernels don't come out as they pop. My microwave has a popcorn setting. If yours doesn't, just put it in for about 3 - 4 minutes and listen for the popping to slow. After the popcorn is popped comes my least favorite step. It's a little awkward, but necessary if...

Save the Date

We're having a board game themed wedding. Neither of us is really into dancing, so we decided to have the reception at an adult arcade/restaurant. Once we had the venue reserved for our desired date, the next order of business was sending out Save the Date cards. A lot of our families will be traveling for the wedding, so we wanted to give them as much notice as possible. We also wanted to stick with the theme. This is what I designed using Photoshop and some ideas I found online: Can you name the game that inspired this design?

I made this today

I've been creating a lot again lately. And it feels good.
