#Giada spicy macaroni bake free#

Here, Giada De Laurentiis, of Food Network fame, has added cream, basil, parsley, garlic, and even some chicken making this thoroughly American. Eggs, eggs, hard cheese, pancetta, pepper, and pasta. Just four ingredients made up this decadent dish. At least once a week, I would sit down to a bowl of this pasta. When I lived in Rome, I can’t count how often I would order this dish. Roman-born Giada De Laurentiis takes Carbonara in a thoroughly Italian American direction. Rome’s favorite and most famous pasta dish gets a major makeover. * = Didn't enjoy it at all, and will probably not make again.I can’t tell you how often I ate at La Carbonara, named for this great pasta dish, but not the inventor of it. ** = Would have to make a lot of changes to enjoy *** = Not a bad recipe, but would make quite a few changes if I made it again

**** = Was VERY good, but would make a few changes ***** = HEAVEN - I would not change a thing!! I have found that I really do like some things I 'thought' I hated. My parents are foodies and I TOTALLY blame them for my passion for food!! I will try anything once. I LOVE it!! I have figured out that I can cook twice as much if I give half of what I cook away.LOL!! This means Toby's business partner and his wife eat just as well as we do!! They have told me on many occasions, that if I can't take Toby anymore they will add on to their house to make room for me. I am a stay at home stepmom (that is my job), so I have all day to cook and look up different recipes. I guess that would make me the wicked stepmom.I hope not!!! We also have in our lovely family 2 dogs (Daisy, a Cockapoo who runs the house and Missy, a Black Lab), a cat (Mystery), and a ferret (Flower). Toby has a son (Zach, 11) from a previous marriage. This way I can grow all sorts of fun stuff!! I can't wait!! I love fresh home grown veggies and stuff!! And NOTHING beats fresh herbs!!! Now I have the bug!! I want more more MORE!! So Toby has so lovingly decided to make me an actual garden. I threw in a few tomato plants for good measure :D. I absolutely love it here!! I love having seasons!! The trees changing colors in Fall and snow in the Winter, along with a BEAUTIFUL Spring and HOT Summer!! We live in the house Toby grew up in, and are about to start doing some MUCH needed renovations! (I DEMAND A BIGGER KITCHEN!!) I have recently (this past year) started growing my own herbs. Which is where I lay my head and call home now. I met the love of my life (Toby) on-line - believe it or not - and he whisked me away to Kentucky (Louisville). Well, to make a long story short, things didn't work out and we got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!! After that, I packed up and moved to Texas (Beaumont).

I lived and got married in California (Los Angeles), but we moved back to Lafayette to be closer to family. I miss it A LOT!! England, not the being a nanny part. After high school, I was a nanny and lived in England (London).

My parents moved to Lafayette, Louisiana when I started high school. I was born in the great city of New Orleans, but have had the pleasure of travelling and living all over the place.
