Killer Alfredo Sauce

The biggest problem we run into when attempting to eat healthy & buy fresh groceries, is using our resources before they expire. This week I had:

1. 1/2 tub of sour cream
2. Half and half
3. 1/2 brick Monterey Jack Cheese
4. 1/2 tub Parmesan cheese

After searching online for 5 minutes I came across instructions for making a killer Alfredo sauce. Luckily, I had chicken breasts in the freezer & fettuccine pasta in my pantry. After adding a few spices, I have to admit that this homemade Alfredo sauce was the best I've ever had.

Sayonara Starbucks!

I am one of a million Starbucks lovers who waits around 9 months for the heavenly Pumpkin Spice Latte. While Stumbling the other night, I came across the holy grail of homemade coffee drinks:

The only changes I made were, I added the ingredients to my regularly brewed cup of coffee & whisked them together, and I used easy pumpkin pie purée (pumpkin pie purée & spices in a can) Deliciousness!

Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip cookies

No eggs? No problem - Josh & I eat eggs for breakfast & dinner so much that we tend to run out before we have a chance to make dessert. Here's a great recipe for chocolate chip cookies, sans eggs.

Lasagna Soup

Josh & I love us some lasagna! But I don't dare get into the ricotta-ing or the noodle-ing...etc. This recipe is so delicious and you can make it as soupy or not as soupy as you like. :)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies

If you grew up where I did, you knew that every summer when the temperature reached a scorching 112 degrees, you could smell the drying raisins laying out in the vineyards. And every winter you'd see new people out pruning & tying vines. And if you grew up where I did, your probably just about as sick of eating raisins as I am. Problem is, Josh & I love oatmeal cookies. Thanks to The baker Chick, I found a great recipe with the perfect alternative: Chocolate.
Say it with me now, "oohhhhhh, yeeeeeaahhhh....."
