Guy Fieri's Penne with Cajun Chicken and Chipotle Shrimp

It’s safe to say that Guy Fieri is a pretty amazing celebrity Chef.  From his restaurants, tv shows and recipes – we love it all!  I am super excited to be trying out some of his newest products which are available at Walmart.

On our anniversary we went to Guy Fieri’s Chop House in Bally’s Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.  We loved everything we bought but the two things that I would go back for over and over again is the Baja Shrimp (crispy shrimp, avocado, cilantro, chili aioli) and the Lobster Knuckle Chowder (sweet Maine lobster knuckles, potatoes, cheddar biscuit, Old Bay, bacon).  I wish I had those two in front of my right now.  SO GOOD!  He is an excellent Chef and definitely one I’d love to meet some day!

Hot and fresh fried wings are a staple for any super bowl or sports party. I recently went to our local Super Walmart Deli to do a test run and see how we could compare their fresh and ready deli wings from Tyson to homemade.  In addition to the Bone-in Hot Wings I purchased General Tso’s Boneless Wings for the guys and gals!  I have a great recipe to share using them!  For dip ins we picked up some Kraft Ranch and Kraft Creamy Italian Dressing.  The prepared wings will save so much time, and they’re still fresh wings!   You can purchase in a Pick 3 Bucket, Plated, Meal, or by the pound!
