Chicken-Broccoli Ranch-icotti

Given that March is National Noodle Month and the fact that I've partnered with Hidden Valley® to bring you some great new ranch-inspired recipes, I thought it appropriate that I elevate a classic pasta dish. I'm not really sure if manicotti are technically considered macaroni, but I am sure that this is a great dish. Traditionally (at least in America) manicotti are large ridged pasta tubes that are stuffed with a mixture of cheese, prosciutto and parsley.

Chipotle Lime Steak

Here is an easy recipe for a great south-of-the-border steak. It combines the smoky goodness of chipotle with fresh lime juice, salt, garlic, and a couple other ingredients to make a killer maridade. You can eat the steak straight-up, or use it for fajitas, as I did.

I see a lot of myself on the faces of my children when I see a drumstick in their hand and that familiar ring of BBQ sauce around their mouths (and usually on their shirt). It's just good times, ya know?
