Yummyness

I love this recipe!  So easy and yummy!  I got this recipe from Giada and try to make at least once a week.

Ravioli with Brown Butter Sauce

  • 1 bag of frozen Ravioli, cheese or beef ( you can use tortellini as well)
  • 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • chopped walnuts
  • shredded Parmesan cheese
Bring your pot of water to a boil and cook ravioli according to directions.  Drain and set aside.  In a saucepan melt the butter until golden brown, take off heat and add balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.  Toss with ravioli and top with walnuts and parmesan cheese.

How flippin easy was that?!?  This is one of my go to recipes when I don't feel like cooking a big meal.  I didn't have the walnuts on hand in my picture, it still tastes good, but doesn't have that crunch. 


Enjoy!

Second Coming Armaggedon Blizzard of 2011

Yes people, the Blizzard of 2011 has hit the midwest and moving up towards the northeast.  Meteorologists are saying this could be the worst storm to hit the KC area in 20 years!

The camera on my phone can't capture the snowfall coming down, but you can see how "foggy" it looks from the snow.

Can't even tell where the driveway ends and the street begins!

Some areas are slated to get about 26 inches of snow! Now, I am not gonna lie, I love it.  It feels like I am living in a snow globe.


With all this snow, work has been canceled for husband and I.  Actually, the whole Kansas City area seems to have come to a halt. With being snowed in, here are a few things that I am excited to do.
