My son was practically interested in watching me prepare this dish, isn't he the cutest?!

Anyways once you blended in the blue cheese dressing add your shredded chicken into the sauce.

Allow the sauce to cook for 10 minutes over low heat. While your waiting cook your pasta according to the package and then drain. Combine the buffalo sauce with the penne pasta and then tool with your choice of toppings. We did celery to give it some color and texture. ENJOY!

Italian Baked Shrimp (the best shrimp you'll ever taste)

Layer the shrimp on top of the lemons and butter and then sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top of the shrimp.
