My Mission Yo

I had a mission, once upon a time...It was to attempt all of Pioneer Woman's recipes. I can't. I don't know how she cooks so much. She may be Superwoman?

Whatever I do cook and share with you all that is an original Pioneer Woman recipe I will rate on a scale of 1-5 for "tastiness" and 1-5 for difficulty.

Taste:1-Being "Yuck" & 5- Being "oh my I think I'm in Heaven this is so good"

Difficulty: 1-Being "Luke could cook this." & 5-Being "Uh, may swear off cooking altogether because this was so hard."

Anything else that I cook and share, I will just give a basic review for. I have two small children who I am with ALL DAY LONG, so my reviews are realistic and useful.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

I made this soooo long ago and never posted about it.  Cajun Chicken Pasta is something I order every time I eat at Cheesecake Factory so I wanted to see how Pioneer Woman's version compared.  There is still something about the Cheesecake Factory version that has my heart, but PW has a good take on it too.  It is easier to me that her veggies require a rough chop and not a dice, but I think I would prefer the dice.  My real complaint is not with her recipe at all but I used Tony Chachere's Cajun spice and it was so salty that next time I will probably just make my own.

You can make a Cajun mix any way you would like including paprika, cayenne pepper, white and black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt...just use as much or as little of each until you get a mixture you prefer. 

I really think that this recipe is one you can play around with until you figure out the perfect Cajun Chicken Pasta for you, but her recipe is definitely a great start.

Taste- 3.5
Difficulty- 3.5
