Tuscan Pasta with Basil Cream

***I've always been a huge fan of Southern Living magazine...I was even fortunate enough to land 2 consecutive, very competitive internships in the SL Marketing Deparment. I also love their recipes...they never disappoint!

This is probably one of the easiest dinners that I've made in a while. Going by the name, you'd think it would be complicated, but that's just not the case! It's packed with flavor, too. I think it would even be good with chicken added.***

Ingredients:
1 (20 oz) package refrigerated 4-cheese ravioli
1 (16 oz) jar Sun-Dried Tomato Alfredo sauce
2 Tbsp. White Wine
2 Medium Fresh Tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh Basil
1/3 cup Parmesean Cheese, shredded (I used freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese)

Directions:
Prepare pasta according to package directions.

Pour alfredo sauce into saucepan. Pour white wine into jar, cover tightly and shake well. Stir wine mixture into saucepan. Stir in chopped tomatoes and 1/2 cup chopped basil.

Cook over med-low heat for about 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Toss pasta into sauce and top with Parmesan cheese.

I just found your site through one of your Pinterest posts so I'm just now seeing this recipe. I, too, love this recipe from Southern Living. I add shrimp or scallops (we used to live in FL and harvested our own scallops)for a more filling dinner. The sauce is great over chicken, too. Are you vegetarian? If so, you may like some of the recipes at thegirltalks.com. She was a vegetarian for several years and eats vegan once a week.

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread - Southern Living

***There seriously aren't very many things that smell better than Banana Nut Bread baking in the oven. Don't you agree? This recipe for Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living magazine was one of the very first recipes that I added to this blog...back in November 2007! In fact, I came across it when I worked for the magazine as a Marketing Intern. Back then, I didn't have a photo for every recipe, and the blog post was simply the recipe and nothing else. Because this is my go-to recipe for Banana Nut Bread (and because it is so amazing!), I thought that it deserved a little more attention. This is quite honestly some of the best Banana Nut Bread that I've ever had. An entire 8oz. package of cream cheese is added right to the batter, along with 4 mashed bananas. The cream cheese adds so much to this recipe, with an incredibly moist texture being the main component. Plus, the roasted pecans are the perfect addition. Roasting the nuts brings out

My Favorite Quiche!

***It's not often that a recipe is worthy of re-posting. I think I've only done that once or twice in the entire time I've written this blog. However, this is one of those rare occasions. Back in 2009 when Brad and I went to Europe, we had the most amazing Quiche Lorraine at the incredible Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris. It was delicious and was served alongside a yummy salad of fresh greens (Quiche Lorraine sur Salade Verte). Oh, it was heaven on a plate! It also didn't hurt that we were sitting on the patio of one of the most famous cafes in Paris, after all...haha. The atmosphere and people-watching in that particular area are hard to beat. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was sitting at the table right next to us (the tables were situated pretty close together). She was dressed to-the-nines, was all by herself, and was just the quintessential, classy Parisian lady. I wish more than anything that I had tried to strike up a conversation with her

Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls

***Alrighty, here are the cinnamon rolls that I mentioned in my previous post. I put these together on Christmas Eve, and then baked them on Christmas morning. Let me just tell you...there's nothing quite like the smell of yummy cinnamon rolls wafting through the house on Christmas morning...ahhhhh...so wonderful! This is going to be a new tradition for us...fresh, homemade rolls on Christmas. I thought that I might try this recipe, and then maybe try a new one next year...until I found one that I really loved. However, I hit the jackpot on the first try! This is THE recipe that I'll always use. UPDATE: Since originally writing this post in 2008, I've made these cinnamon rolls every year for Christmas! They are a holiday tradition that my family looks forward to all year! You can see my other posts here, with lots more photos of these sinful cinnamon rolls: CHRISTMAS 2009 CHIRSTMAS 2010 CHRISTMAS 2011 The great thing was that I could prepare them on Christmas
