It is pretty funny being pregnant again. I had forgotten how many times people look right at your stomach instead of your face. Eyes up people!!
I’m 21 weeks today. Looking at me from behind you probably can’t tell that I’m pregnant, but from the side and front you can, or least I think you can. Although I think some people are thinking … “Is she pregnant? Or did she just eat a really big lunch?”
I actually saw this girl at the gym wear a shirt that said. “No, it’s NOT a food baby” and I just started cracking up. I can relate! I’m in that awkward in between phase. Is it a baby or a food baby? Although I’m sure most people can tell I’m pregnant, or least I hope they can because my belly button has popped out like a button on a turkey timer. I normally have an “innie” belly button but every time I’m pregnant it pops out first, most of the time before I even start showing. It’s so funny!
Any who, just something funny I noticed that I wanted to share. Can anyone else relate?
Ok, moving on to the recipe for today. It’s no secret that Roasted Red Peppers are a favorite of mine. Well, really anything roasted is a favorite. 🙂 I love roasting, I think it brings out a richer flavor of the ingredient or in this case the sweetness of the red pepper. It’s divine!
Normally I roast them myself, but for this recipe I took a short cut and bought roasted red peppers in a jar. I made the base for my sauce, added some broth, and roasted red peppers then pureed it all with a little cream cheese. Y’all this sauce is so creamy and luscious I know you’re gonna love it!
Once the sauce is done, add it to some al dente gluten free pasta. Toss it together to make sure all the noodles have a little sauce love. Then top it with pan seared chicken and fresh basil leaves. It’s absolutely divine. There is a sweet salty symphony going on between the sauce and the chicken. This Gluten Free Pasta with Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is absolutely perfect for the fall. It screams comfort food! But in the best way possible.
Bon Appetit friends!
