I started this blog...

as a way of compiling all my families favorite recipes all together in one place.
My daughter asked me if I would write down a certain something I make so
she has it when she grows up and has a family. I thought that was a good idea,
so I decided to combine all our favorites and make one big book. It will be a
work in progress and a way for me to ORGANIZE all the recipes stashed in
the cupboard. And I've realized, I like taking pictures of food!

Fettuccine Alfredo

This is one of Dallyn's favorites!
12 oz. pkg. fettuccine noodles or 16 oz. box penne noodles
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
olive oil
seasoned salt
broccoli, optional
mushrooms, optional

Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt and cook in oil. Add broccoli and mushrooms, if desired and saute. {I broiled the broccoli this time and then added it on top of the noodles and sauce}
Boil noodles. Drain, set aside.

Sauce:
1/2 c. butter 
1 pint whipping cream
4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 t. minced garlic
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. Italian seasoning
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. fresh parsley, chopped or 1 T. dried parsley

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in whipping cream, and cream cheese. Add parmesan, and seasonings. Stir until smooth. Heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add chicken, {cooked broccoli and mushrooms, if desired}. Toss in pasta.
