Chicken Caesar Pasta

We had this tonight and it turned out very well so I thought I would share. The original idea was from Joel's mom and I decided to add my own little twist. (I did this a few weeks ago)

Ingredients -
Grilled Chicken chopped(as much as you want)
spaghetti noodles
2 cups spinach
1/2 onion, chopped
one clove of garlic
caesar dressing (your own amount, depends on how much sauce you like - I used about half the bottle - ish)
salt and pepper to taste

Make the noodles.
Saute the garlic and onion for a few minutes and then add spinach until wilted, add chicken and caesar dressing. Then mix in the noodles and serve! You can add other things like tomatoes if you want!

Sorry for the choppy directions and such but I have never written an original! :)
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Scones

This recipe turned out amazing. We went out on an adventure and tried making scones for the first time. I was a bit hesitant because they seem so daunting. You never know if they will be too dry, too crumbly, or not cook enough. I am so happy we took this trip, because they are amazing.

We only did the spice glaze as a drizzle because we did not want them to be too sweet and it helps cut down on calories.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Scones
adapted from: recipezaar

Ingredients
Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons cold butter
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 tablespoons half-and-half
1 tsp vanilla paste
1 large egg
1/2 cup mini cinnamon chips

Powderered Sugar Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk

Spiced Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch ground cloves

Directions
to make the scones
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork, or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, half and half, vanilla paste and egg. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix in mini cinnamon chips. Form the dough into a ball.
4. Pat out dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into an 8-inch circle and about 1 inch thick. Use a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 8 equal triangular portions. Place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 14–16 minutes. Scones should begin to turn light brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

to make the plain glaze
-Mix the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk together until smooth.
-When scones are cool, use a brush to paint plain glaze over the top of each scone.

as the plain glaze firms up, make the spiced glaze
-Combine the ingredient for the spiced icing together. Drizzle this thicker icing over each scone and allow the icing to dry before serving (at least 1 hour). A squirt bottle works great for this, or you can drizzle with a whisk.
