| It's hard to believe the week is almost done. Tonight it my last night in Colorado. Tomorrow I fly home and Thursday it's time to go back to reality. So, since we've ate out on the town all week, I've decided to cook the last supper for my friends. Italian always goes over pretty well. So, I decided to make TGI Friday's copycat version of Chicken Bruschetta Pasta with a well dressed amazing Caesar Salad with homemade croutons! and garlic toast topped with caramelized onions. Here is the recipe for 4 servings. I doubled the recipe today because I was cooking for 6. Bruschetta Chicken Pasta Submitted by: JBALICKI I found this copy cat recipe on Recipe Zaar. Put it in here in order to find out how many calories it actually has. They say the original is from TGI Fridays. I haven't tried it there, but I will be making this at home.

This is our last photo shoot! of the week!
In 7th grade we were given the name DEL by peers. (Stands for Danie, Emily and Leslie). For some reason we decided this was going to be our signature pose. Lame, I know. But regardless, we do it every time we get together! :):)
