Kittypie -- it wouldn't have done me any good. I'm the type that can ruin ramen noodles and burn pop tarts lol... needless to say I weighed a lot more than usual before I broke up with her LOL!!

Now why couldn't I have read all this before I went to the store. Now that's all I want...baked oatmeal and pasta!
Swer.....baked pastas are a staple in our home...always have been....spent many years in close proximity to excellent Italian cooks!
As long as there is cheese...more than one kind...pasta....red sauce of some sort...throw in some sauteed zuchinni or eggplant or spinach or roasted red peppers...or all them...some ricotta or cottage cheese maybe....anything you've got...and bake till bubbly!
You can't go wrong!!

I'm gonna make some today. I got a new stove over the christmas with a beautiful sleek red oven to replace my old one. I just had some fried fish in coconut oil & a baked potato for lunch. But tonight I tell you the air will be filled with the aroma of baked pasta which may or may not be cooked correctly! This I swear by Christmas!

I'm sure I heard strains of Les Mis in the background!

And don't forget he garlic and seasonings! At least basil and oregano!

Baked Ziti, perhaps? YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.

ETA: The Baked Oatmeal turned out GREAT. Next time (and there will be a next time!) I will probably use half applesauce/half butter, and add some toasted pecans or walnuts, and some dates or craisins. Super easy recipe and you can cut it into squares and freeze it. Nice grab-n-go to take to work for breakfast.

Is this sort of like an oatmeal raisin cookie?

I thought all pasta recipes use those!!

I'm sure they do but Swer is from Texas......

oop...I'm teasing again. Sorry Swer.....

A sleek red oven? That sounds very cool. You mean, like a stove/oven? I've never seen a red one.

Actually, you're right! Most pasta recipes here usually involve red or green peppers instead of basil and oregano. Can't even buy oregano in my local stores. So I must hold steadfast to the ...... within me, and evade all attempts to mexify it however well-intentioned they may be.

I am gonna make that Macaroni dish shortly. I can't stand the craving, and it's so simple to make.

The stove I got was gifted to me for christmas from an in-law. They used it like, once. It's like one of those commerical kitchen stoves with a huge oven in it and the flat burners that glow blue. Red in color with multiple lights inside the oven instead of one. Idk. All I want is baked pasta nasta!

Yes, it tastes similar to oatmeal cookies, it's really yum!

This whole thread today has me drooling!!

Swer...re the red oven...pics or it didn't happen!

Are you saying if I don't take pics it will vanish?!

 

[LouP]

The red oven sounds very cool. Good to have in-laws like that.
Swer..have you always lived in Texas?

My new TV is used as well. No remote and it doesn't always turn on when you ask it. Sometimes it turns off when you have made no such request. That's ok though..I will happily take it.

jj...I'll have to look into that DVR thingy....I'm hoping though that I just won't get too involved in any shows. I'm already having a tough enough time staying off the internet when I should be working!

I hope everyone is having a good New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year VV and friends!
I've been lurking and just wanted to pop in and wish you all well!
I've eaten so much food the past two weeks. I've put on my winter weight. Lol!
Tomorrow I see many naps and yummy leftovers. We had a turkey dinner tonight. I made my own cranberry sauce for the first time. It's so much better than canned! Still have a week of vacation so I'm thrilled to continue being the sloth.
Hugs!
