ReplyDeleteHi Nellie , like a Lay's potato chip , you can't just eat one bite , thanks for stopping by :).
DeleteHi Nee, What a spectacular recipe this one is! A la Vodka sauce is one of my favourites. Just went last night out for dinner with some girlfriends from my job where I used to work. We always go Italian, and one of the ladies had something very similar. It is sooo good and yummy. The sauce is light and does not have as much acidity from the tomatoes. Your recipe is so easy and great to use up that left over pasta. Yummy for sure! Blessings, Dottie :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dottie , I love this recipe , with the holidays coming , there is always left over turkey and ham , I use them instead of shrimp . Going Italian is always the way to go , there are so many dishes to close from with the heathy herbs . Have a great weekend , thanks for stopping by . Blessings Nee :).
DeleteHi Nee! I love pasta with vodka sauce. The shrimp twist is great! Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteHi Monet , This is an old favorite and it do give you that different twist . Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteAnd yes please pass me a big bowl of this
ReplyDeleteHi Cquek , hurry over , going fast , thanks for stopping by :).
DeleteOh, nice way to kick up a pasta with vodka sauce! Really like what you've done with this - thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi John , each time I make this sauce , my kids say of goodie , mama's making the drunk pasta :D thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteTo think I almost missed this recipe, Nee. That's what I get for going apple Picking this weekend!!! Looks delicious! So funny what the kids call it, lol...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Nee...
Hi Louise , did you get many apples ??? My kids got a name for all their favorite foods . Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteI sure did, Nee. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for freezing apples that are all prepared for Apple Pie. I may try it this week. We'll see...I know for sure Marion and I couldn't possibly eat all these apples, lol...
DeletePeeling is the hardest and after that it's smooth sailing and worth the effort . I once canned all the apples , now I freeze them . :D give Marion a hug
DeleteThat makes me feel so much better Nee. I was worried it wasn't going to work and then I would have wasted all these delicious apples! Now if I just had a couple of kids to help me peel, lol...
DeleteI use Freezer zip-lock bags and put in the amount I want to use , thay stack easy and don't use as much space and the freezer containers . The kids would help you until they get their fill on apples , I told my kids you went apple picking and they ask was you going to make some Apple Oatmeal Crisp , I told them heck no , you was going to freeze those apples for later use , now they are off to find my Apple Betty recipe :) lol
DeleteI think that is the same as the recipe I found but I'll have to look on my Pinterest board because I think you add all the ingredients before you freeze them.
DeleteI wouldn't want the kids to hurt their tiny fingers peeling all these apples. Tell them I'm still full from their Apple Crisp but I am going to make Apple Dumplings! Apple Dumplings are very very popular in Pennsylvania!
Oh Louise , I had to peeled the ones for their Apple , they was eating as they peeled . :D yes you do add all your ingredients , I always have to check my recipes , no matter how many times I make a dish , freeze or can . Thank you for reminding me , Apple Dumplings are very popular at my house , hubby loves them too. I have an Apple Dressing recipe I will have to look up , thanks for the reminder. lol
