comfort food

MmmmmmmmmmmmMMMmmMMmmMmmmmm. That's pretty much all i have to say about this dinner. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. so so delicious.

I was trying to figure out what to cook tonight. I wanted something real and filling, but didn't want to put much effort in, as unfortunately i appear to be coming down with a cold of some sort. its that annoying annoying coming down with a cold where you can feel the dryness in your throat and the dryness in your nasal cavity and you KNOW that the sickness is coming even though it isnt really there yet. and you dont want to go to bed because you know you will feel worse in the morning, not better.

anyway, i wanted a simple but delicious meal. and i have some sweet potatoes and potatoes etc leftover from my CSA share that i need to continue to try to use up. and i remembered back to one time in college, when melinda and jamie and i went grocery shopping, and picked up some frozen ravioli and pasta sauce and cheese and threw it into a baking dish when we got home and it was so delicious...and so that was my nice, simple plan for tonight. stopped at the market on the way home and picked up some frozen ravioli, some sauce (i went with a garlic alfredo, for something creamy/cheesy, because i am an unhealthy person), and then some cheese for on top.

once i got home, i threw a gigantic sweet potato in the microwave (yes, it was gigantic. massive. huuuuuge! like, the size of my foot) then cut it up, mixed it together with the frozen ravioli (spinach & cheese!) and the garlic alfredo sauce, then sprinkled cheese on top, threw it in the oven for 30 minutes...and presto! delicious dinner!! so amazingly tasty! and i have leftovers!
