A couple of years ago, when Thomas was in Kindergarten or 1st grade, his class created a cookbook. Each child developed their own recipes. He gave me a copy of his recipe. I think he’ll be happy to know that I am publishing it here!
“The Most Amazing Recipe” by Thomas
4 quarts of pasta
1 cup of potatoes
9 chickens
2 cups of onions
1 cup of hot sauce
Mix all of these ingredients together. Put them in a pan. Put the pan on the stove. Cook for 20 minutes.
He has been wanting to make this recipe with me for years. So we set a date in early October. I told him that I thought we’d need to make a few adjustments. I found a Rachael Ray recipe on her website called Chicken Pasta. So from Thomas’s recipe, we omitted the potatoes. We added garlic, some olive oil, frozen peas, cheddar cheese and parmesan. It was delicious!!! It was a big hit. We served it to my Mom, Nicki, Nick, Kallie, Anna and Joe. All loved it. I’ve since made it without chicken and it was still great.
Thomas's first recipe
After dinner, we all watched Psycho. Great movie. I remember going up to the University of Vermont to watch it when I was in high school. The kids liked it. Fun evening. Why this is all in blue and underline now . . . I have no clue. Am just going with it!
