Stuffed Peppers, Perogies, Chicken Alfredo, Skyline Dip

So here is some more crazy tasty food that we've been (I've been) creating lately.
1      stuffed peppers I used the linked recipe for how to cook them but I didn't really follow the ingredients. I put feta cheese in with the meat, red onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and I put oil and salsa on top and then grated on asiago cheese. We added more salsa later because it added really fantastic flavor.
Josh love love loved these.

2      perogies we made shitake mushroom, from our farmer's market, and garlic ones the first night and then later made spinach and chicken perogies. We used pre-made won ton doughs and then I made a white wine sauce to drizzle on top of them. They were so easy and fun to make together.

3      more pizza- a staple at our little apartment. This time with basil, roma tomato, pesto, kalamata olives, onion, garlic, oil pizza

4      homeade chicken alfredo with fresh made noodles from Trader Joe's and I used a recipe my sister and brother got from foods class in high school. Now my family uses it all the time. And I've never had fresh pasta before but man o man was it worth it. It cooks to perfect al dente and doesn't disappoint.
4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup butter

2 tbs. cream cheese
2/3 cup parmesan cheese

5      Skyline dip with the leftovers from when we made it a few weeks ago and froze some. YAY it was like eating home :)
Use skyline leftovers or a can of it - Seattlites regular chili won't work I promise!
Spread 8oz cream cheese on bottom of a dish until even
put skyline over cream cheese
sprinkle or douse top in shredded cheddar cheese
put in oven or microwave until cheese is melted and chili is hot
eat with tortilla chips!
I dream about cooking and obsess over food blogs. Thank you to everyone who gave us kitchen stuff I'm putting it all to good use. I even use the sifter Josh swears I don't need haha

Happy Friday we're off biking to Ballard for some gelato and snacks!
