Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese Omelet
If you like wings and blue cheese, you'll love this omelet! Also a great way to use up leftover wings or a rotisserie chicken. Drizzle with Frank's RedHot® and if you don't like blue cheese, you can easily swap for Cheddar. Garnish with chopped celery and carrots and blue cheese dressing if you like.

A Farewell to Basil Fettuccine
I made this basil fettuccine while watching "A Farewell to Arms" on TV and realized the title suited the intent of the pasta, which was to celebrate the last gleanings from my rather prolific basil patch. If you feel the need to serve this with a sauce, consider a butter garlic sauce or a white wine sauce with chicken. Whatever you choose to accompany this with, enjoy it!
