Well I'm back.... with a recipe hope someone will try this

Warning if you are on a diet, very conscious of what you are eating don't read any further.

On that note I hope some one will try this at least once.

I made this for dinner last night when I started making dinner I had no clue what I was gonna make just that it was gonna involve pasta and chicken.


chicken and sausage Penne pasta

2 or 3 chicken breast
2 or 3 smoked sausages
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
oil
Penne pasta 8oz dry
paprika
thyme
garlic
salt
mozzarella cheese (I used half a block you can use less if your heart desires)

Cook pasta per box instructions. Mix 1 tablespoon or paprika, thyme and garlic and a teaspoon of salt and mix well. In a iron cast skillet add about 2 tablespoons of oil and heat brown garlic then take it out. Slice onion and fry in the oil until cooked. Cube chicken to your desired size( I like mine small) cook until almost done. Then add sliced and quartered smoked sausage. Add 1 1/2  tablespoons of paprika mixture and stir. Mix in the penne pasta. Shred mozzarella cheese add small amounts at a time and mix until all the cheese is melted. You can put in the oven to brown the top but I didn't do that.

This is not healthy but it sure is good. To be honest I didnt think it was gonna be good, Erik my boyfriend didn't think it was gonna be either and he'll eat almost everything I make. I don't have pictures I'm sorry but like I said i didn't think it was picture worthy lol. But if I make it again I will post pictures and update this post.

On another note I started making me a scarf for the winter a few days ago and I will share the finished product.

My son Jayden

Jayden is about a year and a half old. He was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome a few days after he was born. I have to say we have been blessed with him and I thank God everyday for him and for the strength He has given us. We have gone through so much in the last year and a half but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. He "talks" so much, today alone he was probably only quiet for 5 minutes if that. I dont understand what he says most of the time but i know that one day we will. My mom taught him how to say "ouch" when we were in LA and he sounds so cute. He's also starting to say "thank you". He's not walking by himself yet but he is trying to walk with only one of his hands being held I'm so proud of him. He walked for quite a bit today. Im looking forward to what is to come because I know that whatever it is we will make through and try to enjoy every minute of my time with my son because only God knows when my last moment with him will be. 

Matthew 19:14

 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

First Post

So this is my first post. My name is Samara and I'm a stay at home mom of one. Originally from Los Angeles but currently living in Georgia. I'm 24 years old. I love my family and miss them terribly I just came back from a month stay with my family and I had lots of fun with the exception that my maternal grandmother passed a week before I had to come back. On the positive side to all of this was that I was able to reconnect with some of my cousins. I just recently taught myself to knit so I will be posting about that. I love cooking and I love food but I am trying to lose weight so I will be sharing recipes that are more healthy but now and then I will share some of the foods I love that aren't so healthy.
