it was inevitable....my mother is a cook ( i would say chef ) and i've always loved what she served us and she has always taken great care in providing us with healthy & delicious meals. i was inspired to do the same for my family & i hope my daughters do the same for theirs. i feel bad when i hear about young ladies getting married & not knowing how to cook anything but boxed mac & cheese. actually, last week was the first time that i made baked ziti & i've been married almost 10 years. i know some people make it once a week (which is fine if that's what they want to keep doing, but for those who are looking for a change, I thought I'd give some inspiration). and so, i have started a food blog to help get some creative juices flowing.

angel hair w/ canadian bacon & peas


2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
1/4 - 1/2 cup white wine
1 cup cream
2 cups milk
grated parmesean
1/2 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup chopped canadian bacon.

in a warm pan, make a roux ( 2 Tbs. butter to 2 Tbs flour & stir-DO NOT BURN)
quickly add the white wine, stiring constantly.
add cream, milk, salt & fresh ground pepper. stir until thickened.
chop canadian bacon, place into a seperate pan to brown up a bit,
add frozen peas and heat until thawed. add to cream.
pour over prepared angel hair and top with freshly grated parmesean.

i forgot to measure again so these are the approximate measurements :) oops
( if you ever need to thicken more, do not add the flour directly to the sauce or it will make lumps. add flour to a little milk or water into a seperate bowl and then pour into sauce)
