Hey Lola, me too!
Tags: meals, pasta, soup

Yesterday I got a comment on my blog post titled, Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup with Tortellini from a gal named Lola who was going to make this recipe "tomorrow night". When it came time to make dinner tonight I didn't have much time and had to make something quick. This meal immediately came to mind since I always keep tortellini in the fridge for a quick fix dinner.

For dessert we split the Turtle Cheesecake. This was the absolutely best Turtle Cheesecake I have had in my life (and I've had quite a few). There's a layer of fudginess at the bottom and the caramel on top was fabulous. Every time I visit, I'm saving room for some or I'm taking a slice home!

I chopped up the chicken and seared it in a little olive oil with some garlic powder. While that cooked, I microwaved some Jasmine rice. Once the chicken was mostly cooked, I poured in some soy sauce and ginger syrup. I cooked that a bit while I rummaged through my pantry for some pineapple chunks.

I asked my son what he wanted for dinner tonight because I just couldn't decide myself. He asked, "Do we have any macaroni and cheese?" Unfortunately we did not, but I knew I had all the ingredients to whip up my own. I wasn't in the mood for anything average, so I decided to spice things up a bit.
