I hope everyone had a great weekend! My hubby surprised me with a date night on Saturday and it was so nice to get out and have dinner and be able to spend time together and talk without being interrupted by the kiddos - and thanks to my in-laws for watching them!
Last week I made Homemade Alfredo Sauce with pasta, chicken and broccoli, and it was sooooo, so good! And fairly easy too. Jer isn't a huge alfredo fan and he even really liked it and said I could add it to our regular rotation. One piece of advice though, I followed one of the reviews that said they only used 7 Tbsp of butter instead of the whole stick, because that is what I had available, the sauce turned out great, nice and thick. My younger sister made the sauce the same night and said that she had trouble getting the sauce to thicken and that it was too runny. So, if you try it, cut a Tbsp of butter off the stick before you melt it in the pan. I have two new recipes this week that I am excited to try, the one for Crockpot Southwestern Beans is from my middle sister, so I'll post the recipe later if it's a keeper. Also, my younger sister, Laura, is coming to visit for a few days this week. We are so excited to see her, the kids always have so much fun with her!
