Lent crept up on me this year and for the first meatless Friday I was kinda stuck without much in the house. I remembered we had bought a bag of Basil Garlic Shell Pasta at the last Home Show we attended.

I wanted to fancy it up some so I baked it with Parmesan cheese on top. |

Love Trader Joes! Got this the last time we were in Albuquerque and added it to the Alfredo Sauce. Add a subtle flavor. |

Beginning stage of Garlic Herb Monkey Bread with canned biscuits. I used garlic granules, dried green onions and dried parsley. Roll each biscuit in the melted butter and herbs. |

Just a single layer in a Pyrex loaf pan. |

High carb dinner but it sure was good. The salad with the tomatoes and tart dressing rounded it all out. |

Wow, looks great! I hope you enjoyed your meal :)
Looks like a delicious meal for "not being prepared" :) I have to try making the bread, looks so good and sounds so simple!
