Today I got a lovely phone call from my Mother-In-Law, who happened upon some great Tilapia and offered to make fried fish for dinner. YES!!! Props to Maxine Shuman for thinking of us. It is always a fantastic surprise to find out that I don't need to make dinner. We brought the fish home and made a quick angel hair pasta primavera to go alongside the yummy fish. This pasta recipe, I created when I was on weight watchers a while ago, and I am always glad when I can add vegetables to anything and the kids will eat it. Im and Ab we are sorry you did not come to enjoy the fish with us!!!

The pantry is a very important part of creating Good Food in Good Time. Having the pantry stocked with just the simplest of things makes creating a well rounded meal very simple. here are some of things I cannot be without:

Pasta- At least one long noodle variety- Ziti- Shells
Rice- White, Yellow, Brown, or seasoned varieties
Beans- Black, White, Red Kidney, Chick Peas
Canned Vegetables- Corn, Peas, Green Beans, Diced Tomatoes
Corn Meal
Flour
Pasta Sauce
Yeast

Every one of these items can be used at the last minute  in so many different ways. Every time I post more info on meals you will see these common ingredients pop up again and again.

I have a vision for this Blog to be filled with comments and ideas. Please tell me what are the items in your pantry that you cannot do without. I would love to hear ideas, and new things that I can bring into my home and into my kids bellies.

As I wrap up late tonight, I would like to say one more time, thank you Im for providing our "Good Food in Good Time" tonight since there is nothing timelier than someone else cooking for you.

Pasta Primavera-

Angel Hair Pasta                                                         2 TBLS Olive Oil
2 Bell Peppers any color cut into strips                      1 Large Onion Sliced
4 White Mushrooms Sliced/or Baby Bella                 2 Carrots Sliced
1 Cup Chicken Broth (Parve for Kosher)                   1 Clove Garlic 
Dash of Red Pepper Flakes Optional                          Parmesan                                                          

Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add Angel Hair pasta and cook according to package directions. In a pan heat Olive Oil and saute Onions and Carrots for 2-3 Minutes until softened. Add peppers and garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Add mushrooms. When vegetables are soft but crisp, add broth and red pepper flakes. Add salt to taste if necessary. Broth tends to be a bit salty so be careful on adding salt. Place drained pasta into the pan with vegetables and sauce. If liquid cooks out add additional liquid to pan. Toss to coat. Add Parmesan cheese to taste and serve.
