Thanksgiving Anytime!
Garlic Butter Croutons - by Janice
1 loaf of bread
2 sticks butter
1 tbls dried parsley
6 crushed / minced garlic cloves
dash of black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1. Cut bread into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
2. In a sauce pan, melt the butter, add parlsey, pepper and all the garlic - stir together
3. Pour the butter mixture over the bread and toss it well.
4. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake till golden brown. You may have to flip them over to make sure both sides are golden brown.
I keep a close watch on them so they don't burn.
When they are finished let them cool while they are still in the pan then put them into a ziplock bag.
Whenever I make these for salad, they never last. Most of them are gone before I can get them in the bag.
Gorognzola Pasta
1 box of Barilla Penne Pasta
1 Container of Stella Crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

1 Pint of Cherry Tomamtoe or Grape Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Hood Half & Half
3 Tablespoons of Parmesean Cheese
1 Tbsp. Butter
In small sauce pan melt 1 tbsp. Butter, add Half & Half, and Gorgonzola cheese, and Parmesean Cheese, on med. Heat. Whisk until cheese is melted and you have a somewhat thick consistency.
Meanwhile, in another pot Boil Water, and cook pasta as directed on box.
Chop your Tomates. When pasta is done boiling, Place Baby spinach in serving Bowl, and pour warm pasta on top let sit for 2-3 minutes.
When spinach looks wilted, pour your cheese sauce over and toss until spinach and pasta and sauce is incorported. Sprinkle with Garlic Powder (just a dash or two) Mix.
