Anyways, since the oven is in non-working condition, I've had to think up stove top or crock pot meals only almost every single night, For some, this may not be a tricky task- for me it is. My go to is broiled top sirloin, baked chicken, garlic bread, etc. Thankfully I have found a few new favorite (stove top) recipes! The latest one is shrimp and rigatoni pasta served with a delicious tomato cream sauce. We had it last night and it is soooo so good.
Enjoy!
