Tasty Tuesday - I created my own recipe

Y'all - I think I have officially reached "big-girl-domestic diva" status.

If you remember last week, I linked up not one, but two Tasty Tuesday recipes.

Except neither one of them were very original, or inventive.

Well folks, today is about to be completely different.

Robbie has a late class one night a week.

So I don't usually plan a meal for that night.

Instead I usually try to mooch off my parents

or just whip up something for myself.

Well last week it was cold and rainy

I stayed at school later than usual

and I didn't feel like leaving the house once I finally got home.

Plus, I had all the ingredients already on hand for Tuna Noodle,

which is normally way too much for just me,

but leftovers for lunch sounded deeeeelicious.

So I got my noodles are ready to boil.

And realized I didn't have Cream of Mushroom,

a very crucial element to Tuna Noodle.

I was devastated, but still starving.

So I searched high and low and found some things 

to literally "throw together".

I'm not sure what to call it

besides delicious.

**Oh and it was all gluten-free. One day, I'll stop being so pleasantly pleased when I can eat a completely gluten-free meal, but that day is not today.**

What you'll need:

- 1 box elbow noodles

- 4 oz. sour cream (nooooot a lot, I'm still trying to do the dairy-free thing too)

- chicken breast marinated in Italian dressing (nom)

- shredded cheese 

- basil

**I got an amazing spice rack as a wedding gift. Well it's amazing to me, because I don't know up from down when it comes to spices. But I'm always so excited when I know how to incorporate one or more into a dish.**

What you'll do:

- Boil your pasta and drain the noodles

- Sautee your chicken 

- Mix pasta with sour cream (just enough to coat the noodles, again not a lot)

- Stir in chicken

- Dash some pepper, a teeny bit of salt, and some basil.

**As with most spices, a little goes a looooong way. Just a word to the wise.**

- Heat in oven at 350 for about 8ish minutes (we're real technical over here, I know)

- Sprinkle cheese on top, cook for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

Eat up my friend - it is delish.

I also may or may not have had a side of zuchinni with it.

Who am I?

Hugs,

P.S. If this is already a real recipe that exists, just let me continue thinking I was being creative. I realize it's not suuuuuper tricky, but for the girl who lived off bagel bites and cereal forever it's a BIG step in the right domestic direction.
