Dinner, dinner, dinner

I've been trying to change our eating habits to follow a non processed diet.  It's honestly been really hard for me!  The kids are SUCH great eaters....they eat pretty much everything and never complain!  Me on the other hand have always had a hard time being adventurous with food.  Im DYING to become a better cook and take more chances in the kitchen.  I want to put my best foot forward and really try to cook new and different things while sticking to the non processed rule.  I am spending my kid nap time (yay!) scouring the internet for healthy recipes for us to try out!  Tonight I found this recipe...I'm adapting it a bit but here is the link  http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/baked-ziti-casserole-10000001662827/

Baked Ziti:

6 ounces of uncooked ziti
2 cups of marinara sauce (I always add sugar to mine :)
1 cup of part skim mozz cheese (I mixed in a little cheddar as well for taste)
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of franks red hot
1 can of slices of chicken
cooking spray

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  3. Combine pasta, marinara, 1/2 cup mozzarella, salt, pepper sauce, and chicken in a large bowl. Spoon into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
I LOVE that cooking light will often tell you what wine goes well with the meal.  I LOVE wine and never know exactly what will taste best with what.  Yes I know red with meats and white with fish but as for specifics I have NO idea and love learning!  Hoping that everyone enjoys dinner tonight and it turns out well!
