Epic Failure

I know...those of you who know me I never make mistakes...ha ha ha.  The epic failure of this week (as there are many each week) was the silly sweet potato ravioli I made for dinner.  They were delicious, don't get me wrong, however, layering them between wax paper was a DISASTER!!!!
    NOTE TO SELF:
          hot soggy things don't do well layered between wax paper DUH!
I love wax paper in my ravioli...not.

Hot + soggy + wax paper = EPIC FAILURE!
This is how it should've looked (courtesy of Rachel Ray Magazine)  and aside from a wax paper incident, it WOULD have looked this perfect! 

I dare you to give it a try, but watch-out! The chipotle peppers are HOT so maybe take it down to 1/2 a chipotle...also I didn't have pumpkin seeds so I substituted roughly chopped almonds (still delicious) AND...I found a new love "queso fresco"  It is a delicious cheese from south of the border, but readily available at most stores (I found it in Tooele which means that you can get it anywhere ). It crumbles perfectly.  The texture and flavor remind me of ricotta cheese, although slightly saltier.  I crumbled some in a salad with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and YUMMY!
