"Get me out of this plate", the Creamy Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Shells that I've made today whispered. Although I'm on low carb, meatless diet, I couldn't say no to the heavenly creamy and cheesy goodness of chicken stuffed inside al dente pasta shell. Hmmm, today is my cheat day, I decided. Do you know that I'm a big fan of cheese of whatever kind? I'm crazy with cheesy food. Among my favorites are Breadtalk's Cheese Floss and Ruffles Cheddar Cheese. I discovered that the stringiness and creaminess of cheese compliment the sweetness of my fresh apple, be it for breakfast or snack. My taste buds are weird, they say.
I have an obsession with color white. White is pristine and it looks cleaner. With food, I think it's just to appease the market. When something is white, you can see at a glance it's not 'dirty'. Next month, I'll be hosting white themed tea party with my nieces and cousins. This recipe will definitely be my entry.
