Alfredo Tomato Orzo

Lately I'm all about quick and easy.  I've been extremely tired lately since I've been working my new job visiting restaurants as a corporate field rep ( I love it and love meeting all the business owners) but driving around in traffic all day can be exhausting. So I get home and want to eat quick so that I can relax with the hub, the kids and furry kids before I head to bed. This is a first in my life since I'm a cook all day kind of gal and never dreamed I'd want to go to sleep before midnight. Crazy right?  Well, thanks to my friends at Edward & Son's Trading Company, I can buy great items to make my meal planning much easier, quicker and semi-homemade. And better yet, I can buy online for about .49c cheaper than I can get it in my local stores.  And this Orzo dish is another delicious and flavorful pasta that I know my children will be making in the future for their families someday too.
