Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine salt, Creole seasoning, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and flour. Dredge the chicken in the seasoning mixture and shake off excess. Reserve any leftover spice/flour mix for the sauce.
  2. Preheat large saute pan, add olive oil and melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders until done, about 8 minutes (3-4 minutes per each side). Remove from the pan.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the empty skillet and add remaining seasoning mixture into the butter and cook it until flour is no longer raw. Add more paprika and heavy cream into the skillet. Bring to a boiling point.
  4. Lower heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Pasta
  6. Boil pasta in salty water, drain, but do not rinse. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. If you think the sauce needs thinning, add reserved pasta water to the sauce. Add it slow - as much as you would like to have according to your liking.
  7. Add cooked pasta into the sauce and stir until fully coated. Add chicken into the skillet with pasta to reheat.
  8. Serve with sauce spooned over chicken and pasta, and sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic in melted butter until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir orzo into garlic mixture and mix in Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Alternate instructions: "This recipe is delicious even though I alter the method somewhat. I love the look browning the orzo gives the final dish so I start with a couple tablespoons of butter in the pan and toss in the orzo and stir it around until some of the grains are slightly golden. I then toss in the garlic for about 30 seconds, stirring it around in the pan. Next I add the water (or some chicken broth if I have some in the refrigerator) to the pan, using only about a cup plus a splash. Close the lid and simmer until al dente. The pasta will absorb all the liquid with no need to drain. Each brand of pasta is different but I like to use the blue box variety and nine minutes is al dente and not starchy at all. So watch your pasta closely. Finish off by adding the milk (or cream) and freshly grated parmesan. I love the splash of color the chopped parsley gives this dish. Delicious simple side dish!"

Instructions
  1. Heat crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili seasoning in a large saucepan at medium heat, stirring frequently until simmering, then cover and cook at 130F for about an hour, so everything has a chance to cook together well.
  2. OPTIONAL: You can use a blander at liquefy or a hand mixer to bland until as smooth as you'd like. If you're using the blender, be careful blending hot liquids! Let the sauce sit for a few minutes before blending, start slowly, and vent the blender frequently when starting.
  3. Crumble and cook the hamburger in a large, deep skillet at medium high heat, stirring frequently. Drain excess fat and return to skillet.
  4. Add cooked elbow macaroni and sauce to skillet with hamburger, cook on medium low to medium heat until thoroughly mixed and warmed.
  5. Server immediately.
  6. Feel free to add any toppings you would like! We used grated parmesan on ours, but you could also use grated cheese of whatever kind you'd like, sour cream, chopped chives, chopped onion, salsa, crackers, etc.
