Far More Interesting than Trade Day

Was my little concoction of Southwestern Pasta and Steak Tacos.

Before I forget how I did this and considering some of my readers enjoy my recipes, here's one you may want to try if you like Mexican food.

Hanover frozen foods makes this wonderful Latin Blend of veg tables: Corn, Black Beans, Onions and Green Peppers. I always have a bag in the freezer. So for something different and relatively easy (as in maybe my sister-in-law could actually make it if she knew where her kitchen was) you may want to try this.

1/2 lb Bow Tie Pasta

1 Cup Hanover Latin Blend Vegetables

1/2 package Sazon Seasoning mix

1 large ripe tomato or can of diced tomato

1 Cup Chicken Broth

1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (yes, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds if they are in your kitchen)

1/4 cup Olive oil

Saute all veggies in the olive oil & Seasoning until tender but not brown in large frying pan. Add pumpkin seeds and saute for just a few minutes longer (as in two or three). Add the chicken broth and continue to cook for a few minutes. You can also add any cooked chicken to this to add bulk.

Add cooked pasta to the mix and coat evenly. Add cheese, salt and pepper and there you go.

Yes... far more interesting than what went down yesterday. And certainly almost as "colorful" as what we may see tonight with that #%$#@# Avery in the building tonight.
