Since I made my own McMuffins a while back, it's become my go-to breakfast/brunch. It's fast and easy to make. I thought I would try some frozen sausage patties instead of bacon for a bit of a change and even though they are store brand, they are pretty good.
So, today it's a sausage, egg, and cheese.

Cheese tortellini in garden veggie pasta sauce. It's my favorite sauce for spaghetti, but it's hit-and-miss on tortellini. But I didn't feel like opening another jar of sauce. The pasta was a Target house brand that ranked surprisingly high on someone's best tortellini list, so I thought I'd try it. For the money, it's hard to beat. What was even more surprising was the instructions for cooking in a microwave. No water is required -- just stick it and some pasta sauce in a bowl and nuke it. I don't know that it could get any more convenient.
And tonight I tried some "double cut" crushed red pepper that I bought so that I could get a more even coating on my pasta and didn't have to spit out wood-chip-sized chunks along the way like you do with regular cut. I'm happy with my investment, but finding a shaker with suitable holes proved more difficult than I had anticipated. I've already returned one set of shakers to Amazon because the holes weren't sufficiently large. I think I've got it handled now, but I never imagined it being this hard.

Rana "cheese lovers" tortelloni and Rao's vodka sauce. I'm comparing store-bought vodka sauce. I figured Rao's would be the standard against which I'd measure the others. I've also got Trader Joe's, Prego, and Bertolli. Aldi's has a premium vodka sauce, but it's more expensive and I don't know if it's an item that they regularly stock. I figure if they still have it in a couple of weeks, then I'll grab a jar. And I should probably try one or two recipes for vodka sauce from scratch. I'm a bit short of this specific pasta, but I've got a couple of large bags of 5-cheese tortelloni in the freezer that I can fall back on.

Put some chicken breasts in the crockpot with BBQ sauce and had baked beans and pasta salad. I have eaten so much Tex-Mex lately that it was time for a change.
