I've decided that I will start something new with my blog. I'm going to post a new recipe on every Tuesday that I've tried and like or that I would like to try. I hate trying to come up with new things to eat so hopefully this will help those of you that have the same problem.
THIS WEEKS RECIPE: Vegetarian Penne
I found this in my Taste of Home Annual Recipes 2007 Cookbook
2 cups uncooked penne or medium tube pasta
1 c baby carrots halved lengthwise
1 garlic clove, minced
1 T canola oil
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans stewed tomatoes
2 cups frozen cut green beans (I use canned sometimes)
2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
3 T cornstarch
1/4 c water
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute carrots and garlic in oil until tender. Add tomatoes, beans, basil and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender.
Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into vegetables. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Drain pasta; stir into vegetables. Yield: 8 (1 cup) servings.B For those of you on weight watchers, one serving is 2 points.
I would gladly take requests for desserts, side dishes, soups, salads etc. if there is something you are wanting to try. Let me know before Tuesday and I will see what I can do.

How fun...great idea!
Supper easy salad, and tastes amazing. Spinach Leaf, Strawberries, Toffy bites, (Very Very small) and Poppi Seed Dressing. You will love it.
Thanks for your recipe, look forward to more Tuesdays.
Yeah, this is a good idea, and I love to try new things. I think it would be better if you would add a personal note as well... something you really enjoyed about it, a comment on the flavor, ideas for good side dishes, anything else you added or thought should be added/taken out from the recipe. You know, something like that. Sounds fun!
That's a good idea! Thanks Roxanne. I hope everything is going well for you.
I'm one of those people that likes to see how it's supposed to look... can you take a picture of the finished product?
I thought about that after I posted it. I will do that for now on. I like to see the finished product as well.
