Babies & Eating, Not Eating Babies

Everyone knows I love my baby.

Everyone knows I love eating.

Everyone knows I DO NOT love eating my baby.

Here's my baby:

Here's the yummiest brownies I've ever had**:

**Seriously, these are fluffy, moist, dense, fudge-y all at the same time and keep far longer than any other brownies I've ever made. I don't have a gluten issue, health wise, but if I did, I'm confident I'd be able to survive if I were able to eat these treasures.

Here is the tastiest pasta dish I've ever created:

Here's the recipe for all of you dying to make a summer-esque pasta dish but have no idea where to start:

Ingredients:
1 bag penne pasta, cooked according to package (or any pasta that tickles your little fancy)

1 lb. grilled chicken breast (two large breasts will do)

1 cucumber, sliced & quartered
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 lb. asparagus, chopped into 2 in. pieces

1/2 cup butter
4 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
6 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions on the package.

2. Grill chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

3. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

4. Stir in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

6. Combine cucumber, asparagus, and onion in pan. Cover and cook 13 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Continue simmering on low heat. Add pasta and chicken.

8. Enjoy!

This was seriously such a good mash up of veggies, chicken and pasta it left me with that "good" full feeling. If you happen to take this dish on a test run, let me know what you thought of it. :)

P.S. Steve isn't a fan of veggies or sweets and he ate BOTH, I repeat both, of these experiments...without Ralphing everywhere. Bring on the picky-eaters!!
