Hello...Welcome to my first blog. I can't wait to share my life's successes and failures, a no holds barred truth of the matter, life experiences with you. The "name" was a hard one to come up with till a friend of mine said you can post things from your everyday life. Like my gardening, cooking and crazy life as a band mom ...not to forget the biggest part of my life, my kids and our homeschooling adventures, in-which, Core Curriculum came to mind. Hence Core Cooking and Much More. Hope my blog inspires you in some way. I know others have inspired me and I thank them for it. Who knows, maybe a book might come of this one day.

Penne Gorgonzola Alfredo Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper



another creation....delish....love cooking...now I have a way to keep track and share my recipes...just wish I had some fresh basil to chop and add to the top...but the roasted red bell pepper with the Gorgonzola cheese paired great together....enjoy




1 bag of Penne Ziti Rigate
1 Jar Classico Alfredo sauce
1 5oz. tub of Gorgonzola cheese
1 big dollop of sour cream
freshly grated nutmeg
1 red bell pepper roasted
10 pieces of chicken breast tenders
olive oil
pasta water
Parmigiana cheese

Cook your chicken in the olive oil... remove from pan and pour out the liquids from pan...start boiling your water with a pinch of salt...chop your cooked chicken...add the sauce, tub of Gorgonzola, sour cream and nutmeg to the chicken pan that you had drained...bring to a simmer add the cooked chicken...set aside and roast your red bell pepper either in the oven on high broil or on the stove top burner as I did....char the skin all the way around then put in a large baggie or covered bowl to steam off the skin...about 10 minuets long enough for your pasta to cook...then rinse the skin off and take out the seeds and stem and chop...add to your sauce...when your Penne is done... take a ladle of pasta water out and add it to your sauce before draining...drain your pasta add to your sauce and stir...sprinkle a bit of fresh grated parmigiana cheese....let sit a few minuets then serve...
