As promised for over two months now…
Sarah’s Fettuccine Alfredo
16 oz. Fettuccine
3 C. heavy cream
12 TBSP. sweet cream butter
1 C. shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cook fettuccine according to package directions; set aside. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat cream, butter, salt and pepper. While stirring almost constantly, cook over medium low for approximately 10 minutes so that butter and cream mixture is hot, but not boiling. Do not overcook. Add Parmesan cheese and stir constantly until cheese melts completely and sauce begins to thicken, approximately 10 more minutes. Add cooked pasta and mix until pasta is well coated. Serve immediately.
Serves 6-8.
Bread & Boaz Dip
1 Loaf French Bread
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Oregano
Garlic
Pepper
I don’t know the measurements…start small. If our taste buds are the same, you’re going to want more vinegar than oil, a couple dashes of oregano, more garlic, and a little bit of pepper!

Salad
I put everything in my salad. You name it, I’ve probably had it! My basic salad starts out with either baby spinach or a really green leafy lettuce like Romaine. Then I add anything and everything: blueberries, pecans, English cucumbers, red bell pepper, sweet onion, mandarin oranges, celery, radishes, strawberries, carrots sometimes pineapple, etc. My favorite dressing is just a basic oil and vinegar with just a few seasonings such as garlic, sugar, salt, & pepper. However, I really enjoy the one below, too!
