HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN AND PASTA
Being on a diet, the words creamy and pasta usually are reserved for only my cheat days. I wanted to make something and not feel guilty about eating it, so I whipped this up in the kitchen. It's delicious and very adaptable; change it up however you like! Has a nice little bite with the red pepper flakes added. This would also be fantastic with onion added.

HEALTHIER CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN AND PASTA
I love creamy cajun pasta! But using the heavy cream or the half and half is just not the healthiest thing. So, I thought that I would try using condensed milk and it worked wonderfully! With the cajun flavor, you would never guess that it wasn't made with heavy cream.
