Creamy Alfredo Recipe!

I stumbled upon this recipe about a year ago and has become a household favorite ever since! What makes this recipe special is that it is super easy to make and isn't quite as "heavy" as other recipes I have tried. All of the other recipes usually have cream cheese in it and I always thought it was too "heavy." By no means is this one more healthier, I personally like the taste of this Alfredo better!

All this recipe needs is a few simple ingredients that you may have in your kitchen already! I believe a lot of you may be surprised at how easy it is to make a good tasting Alfredo that will impress your whole family! You can of course add a meat to this dish as well, this is a very versatile base recipe for Alfredo. Actually, when I made this Alfredo I added some pieces of steak to it! You could add shrimp or chicken to it as well! If you try this recipe let me know how you like it and if you encountered any problems!

You start off by cooking your Fettuccine noodles to Al Dente and straining. (You can start your sauce when you start your water for your noodles.) 

To start the sauce you melt your butter in your saucepan. Add the garlic in with the butter and saute until fragrant, do not let them get brown!. (Sorry I do not have a picture for that) 

Add heavy cream to garlic and butter mixture (on medium heat), stir. 

Once heavy cream is boiling, add Parmesan cheese. You will notice a difference in the consistency of the sauce. Continue to stir the sauce till all the cheese is incorporated.

And then the sauce is finished! Add your noodles to the sauce, and toss until the sauce is well incorporated onto the noodles. Plate your Alfredo and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top! Enjoy!

Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients: 

1 pound Fettuccine noodles (I used as much as my family needed, I didn't want any to go to waste.)
2 tbsp butter

1 pint heavy cream
2 cups Parmesan cheese (plus some to add on top.)

Instructions: 

1.) Cook pasta to Al Dente, strain. 
2.) Melt 2 tbsp butter in saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic and saute till fragrant (do not brown garlic!).
3.) Add heavy cream, stir. Once boiling, add 2 cups Parmesan cheese. Stir until incorporated.
4.) Add pasta to the sauce and toss until sauce is completely coated onto the pasta.
5.) Plate and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top (optional).
6.) Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Yes I know I'm a day late but I wanted to wait to be able to post a picture of my daughter in her costume! Halloween is the one holiday which I really don't care for and honestly wouldn't be doing anything if it wasn't for my daughter. Now that my daughter is getting older we made sure to take her trick or treating, we weren't sure how long she would actually be able to stay out. But it ended up turning out great! We trick or treated for about an hour and an half.

At first the weather was acting up, rainy and windy but after about 10 minutes it stopped to where it was only drizzling. I was surprised it wasn't really cold at all, I thought it would be! Of course we couldn't do trick or treating for over an hour with a two year old without a stroller! It was a work out for mommy and daddy with having to keep taking her in and out of the stroller and carrying her up and down steps! Lol

It's kind of hard to tell what my daughter was dressed up as in the photos but she was a purple daisy! I was so proud of her for trying to say trick or treat and she would say thank you clear as day! By the end of trick or treating she was about to fall asleep in her stroller! She was probably confused as to what we were doing! Lol!

Afterwards as mommy and daddy were going through what she got, we found some different treats we thought was neat especially for a two year old. She had about 3 pouches of fruit snacks, a granola bar, and a bag of popcorn (the kind you put in your microwave, not already popped) that we thought were good ideas and not completely horrible for her compared to chocolate. Of course she wanted something since she would see the candy and especially knows what Reeses wrappers look like! So we just gave her a pouch of the fruit snacks and she was fine with that. She still thought she got something special and we were able to avoid her getting a sugar high!
