I am so tired of making the same things day after day. I always fall into this slump. I don't mind cooking. I actually like it. But, I DESPISE figuring out what to make.

Yesterday, I did a quick search and found this recipe at All Recipes and tried it. Not bad. I changed it up a little based on the reviews and my families likes. Ryan DOES NOT like onions. It worked out because I had all the items on hand. I probably won't make it a lot, maybe every few months. We shall see. Ryan liked it. Manny, not so much and since Johnsie needs everything separate, it wasn't his favorite either. He did eat the noodles though.

I really don't like egg noodles so, I used some cavatappi I had on hand. I don't have any savory either so, that was not included. To be honest I never knew there was a spice called savory. I had to look it up. Guess it is a type of mint.
