Last night I cooked one of my best meals ever! We love italian food in this house. I found a recipe on Cooking with Sugar (love her stuff) for chicken parmigiana. Go here for the recipe and it even has a video to show you just want to do. http://www.cookingwithsugar.com/italian-chicken-parmesan-recipe-with-spaghetti-and-red-marinara-sauce/

I have tried making this before, but it just never turns out good. I’m a pretty good cook too! Just ask my husband. And to be honest, he’s always said he doesn’t like chicken parmigiana. So I was hesitant to try it, but I figured he could just eat the noodles and sauce if he didn’t like it. Good news– he loved it!!

I even made my own homemade marinara sauce for the first time ever (also Sugar’s recipe). I am very picky with my sauces. I’ve always used Bertolli or Classico for my italian dishes. But this was AWESOME!! I made a big batch and froze what I didn’t use.

So if you love italian food and love chicken parmigiana–check it out! Here are my pics.

Ohhh…and I shredded my own mozzarella cheese…big difference! Way fresher!

And a big thank you to Sugar for a great recipe!

i see so many people write blogs and write every day. How do they keep up with it!?!  I just can’t do it! But I will try to get better at it. But with everything going on, kids, husband, baking, etc…i just find it hard to sit down at my computer and actually write. But today was a computer day!

So what’s been going on with Katie Pops? Well, summer was a little slower, but it’s picked up here lately. I’ve done baby shower cake pops, Mickey and Minnie Mouse pops, Dinosaur pops, and just some pretty ones.

So that was most of my summer work.

Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions and I will do my best to get back to you!!
