Madison was the second baby I'd ever photographed.  

Here it is a year later & I have a lot more newborn experience under my belt plus Madison is an adorable little one year old!  I had so much fun at her session.  First at the gardens & then at her cake smash!  She did awesome & was all smiles throughout.  Love to watch these kids grow up!  <3

spicy sausage pasta

So I'm switchin' things up a bit.  I've always wanted to try a food blog, but I don't cook that often & definitely don't have time.  But I did try a new dish tonight so I wanted to post my photos & the recipe!  It's Spicy Sausage Pasta & yes it was a little too spicy for me, but still good!  :)  I found this recipe at this AMAZING blog that I follow:  kevn {&} amanda

Spicy Sausage Pasta

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage
1.5 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles, Mild
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

1. Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

2. Add broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.

3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.

*I eyeballed the EVOO, salt, pepper, cheese & scallions.  For the diced onion I used frozen.  The only Ro-Tel I had on hand was lime & cilantro, but it was still good.  It's what gives it the kick!  I also used whole wheat penne pasta because that's what I had at home.  And for the cheese, I just used mild cheddar.  I agree Monterey Jack would probably be better, but I had the cheddar & needed to use it up.  Still good, but a little spicy for me overall.  I'm a wimp though!  Still gonna eat my leftovers!  ;)
