Every home cook at some point has one of these nights. Five o’clock is fast approaching and you have no idea what you’re going to put on the table for supper. On this particular day I thawed out some boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinking surely by the end of the day I could come up with something to do with them. Stir fry is always a good stand by, but we just had stir fry last week. I needed to think of something quick, or I might have a mutiny (is one person considered a mutiny?) on my hands.

I took a mental inventory of what I had at home – box of whole grain fettuccine in the pantry, a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, homemade pesto in the freezer (yes, you can freeze pesto). Sprinkle it all with some shredded Parmesan cheese and it could work.

When The Husband took a bite, he turned to me and said, “This is really good.”

“Oh, this?” I answered, nonchalantly waving my hand in the air. “It’s just something I threw together.”

Then I met and fell in love with a boy who grew up eating his Grandmama's fried chicken and his Mamaw's biscuits and gravy. I realized I had a thing or two to learn about Southern cooking.
