Last night, my parents arrived home from their vacation, they were starved when they walked in the door {so much so there are no pictures of the final products of the dinner I made!}I will share some pictures of what I made when there was still something to take a picture of!
I decided to try a recipe for stuffed shells, it was delicious! I made a few changes to it but kept pretty close to what it was.
I started with fresh chives from our garden.
The stuffing for the shells (yum!)
I used Jumbo Shells, so with the amount of filling in the recipe it filled about 15 shells.
I also used someone else’s homemade sauce…
Sprinkles Cupcakes are the next best thing when there is no time for homemade!
I used an ice cream scoop so they would all be the same size {thanks for the tip Grandma!}
I frosted them with homemade cream cheese frosting and using a frosting kit my mom got, made it so they looked like roses on the top {well my attempt at it anyways}
I also made chicken cutlets using an italian style bread crumb mixed with grated cheese and cooked in extra virgin olive oil and garlic!
The dinner was a success and just what they needed after a long day of traveling!
p.s. I wore a pink apron to make sure my outfit stayed free of stains, and well it was pink.
