friday friday friday!

Today is a great day!

2 great days in a row?! Wow... so great.

Last night was interesting though. Being the activites co-chair is definitely not the easiest calling ever, but i mean... It's fine. It was disastrously fun activity last night! Good thing I live in a great ward that is super easy-going or people would have left or something I'm sure. Oh well, people came, wore green and ate some food so life was good :)

Anyway, today is good day!

 No, not because the Geography TA's don't have hours on Friday.... 

(who doesn't have hours on friday?! There's like 5 of you guys!) 

But because I made some yummy food. Seriously. I stalk food blogs like it's my job and just am always wanting to make yummy dinners but I never seem to have the time! 

BUT today being the wonderful day it is allowed me some time to make some delicious pasta and cheesy potato things.

I made Parmesan Potatoes

and

Quick Pasta Carbonara

Delicious right?! Right! I have been craving some yummy creamy cheesy sauced pasta but am too cheap to buy cheese and cream at the store! But Smith's had a huge sale on cheese and I snagged myself some Parmesan cheese.Then I ran into the dilemma that basically every cream based sauce uses cream... and I didn't have any of that. BUT this amazing recipe right hurr uses cream cheese instead of heavy whipping cream! What, crazy! I know, it sounded a little weird and close to gross... but I decided to try it. And guess what! It was so great! Really, I think this works great in my little college budget! Well, except the cheese part... buts still!! Frozen peas, bacon, and that yummy cream sauce made with cream cheese... Oh so great! I highly recommend it. Plus, anything with bacon in it is just amazing.
Oh and the potatoes were easy cheesy. My mom made some similar all the time, and they are just great! Really, I love them. Super simple, super tasty, super great :)

Anyway. I hope everyone is partyin partyin partyin YEAH on their Friday. Which comes after Thursday.
