Bacon Mozzarella and Tomato Penne Recipe

During the warmer weather I like to eat something not so heavy. With the fresh herbs in the garden this dish using the fresh basil and sliced grape tomatoes flavors the pasta perfectly with the crumbled bacon.

1 lb penne pasta or your favorite cooked al dente to package directions and drained
1 bottle Parmesan peppercorn dressing
1 whole milk 16 oz roll of mozzarella cut into chunks
1 container around 15 small grape tomatoes sliced in half
6 slices of fried bacon crumbled
fresh basil leaves
Optional: red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste

In a large pasta bowl, add the pasta mix with around 1/4 cup salad dressing. Add the tomatoes and bacon, toss together.  Add more dressing to taste. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella chunks.  Serve sprinkled with more bacon and garnish with basil.

Supermarket Style Loft Cookies

One of my favorite cut out cookies and those soft loft cookies you find in almost every supermarket decorated for whatever holiday theme is going on. You can make Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, anything you want. These are just a great dough so versatile to work with. Kids love these cookies and often eat all the frosting off before the cookie, you may know someone just like that! The frosting is buttery and delicious along with the cookies. If you love loft cookies try my soft peanut butter molasses cookies also they are so good! This is a simple recipe that will be your new favorite cookie all year long.
