Alfredo Sauce

By -
I've tried quite a few Alfredo Sauce Recipes and I made one last night that was so good, and everyone in my family ate and loved.  I decided I had to share it.  I found it at TheRecipeCritic but modified it just a little because I prefer it not to be quite so thick.  Here it is.

Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or less to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan add butter, heavy whipping cream, milk, and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat and whisk until melted.  
  2. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Continue to whisk until smooth. Add the grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Don't forget to simmer, it helps blend the flavors together and soften the cheese.  Serve with pasta.

Crunchy Oven-Fried Fish

First of all, I think this is a great idea and I hope everyone will post lots of their favorite recipes.  I feel like I call for recipes all the time, especially mom, so this is a good way to share and keep them organized in one place too, so thanks Rachel! I'm making this fish tonight, and it's really yummy so I thought I would post the recipe for you guys to try.  I love, love, fried fish and it's really tempting to order it all the time with all the great seafood we have out here in MA, but it's not the healthiest choice.  I found this recipe in a recent Weight Watchers magazine and decided to try it, as it claims is is just like the "reel" deal, and I have to say, it is about as close as you can get. Enjoy! Prep: 20 min - Bake: 20 min - Serves: 4 1/4 C all-purpose flour 3 large egg whites 1/3 C fat-free mayonnaise 2 T all-purpose flour 3/4 t paprika 1/2 t garlic powder 4 high-fiber crispbreads, crushed 1 1/2 t olive oil 1/4 t salt 1/4 t black...

Oven Cooked Barbecue Pork Ribs

Country style pork ribs were on sale this week, so I bought some.  I didn't know what to make with them, so I looked up a recipe on the internet.  Finding random recipes doesn't always turn out well, but this one was awesome.  Pork is often tough when I cook it, but this was really tender and delicious.  The original recipe is from here , but I modified it a little bit since I had country style pork ribs instead of ribs with the bone in.  4 lbs country style pork ribs   3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika   1 tablespoon garlic powder   1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)   1 tablespoon liquid smoke 2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray) 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees f. 2. Mix together sugar and spice...
