Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

Super easy & yummy week day dinner. As long as you have some pre-cooked chicken & broccoli lying around, wont take long at all. 

 A lot healthier for you too, since most alfredo is made from cream cheese & butter, this doesn't use either of those & has amazing flavor. 

 Ingredients:
-3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, grilled & cut into chunks
-2 Cups Roasted Broccoli (i just tossed mine in oil & garlic & threw it in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes)
-8oz Fettuccine
-2T Olive Oil
-2t Minced Garlic
-2T Flour
-1 Cup Chicken Broth
-1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt (not flavored)
-1/4 Cup Skim Milk
-1/4t Pepper
-1 Pinch Nutmeg
-Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Cook Pasta according to directions. Drain & set aside. 

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil & add garlic, cook until the garlic is golden.

Whisk flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, greek yogurt, milk, pepper & nutmeg. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat & simmer until the mixture thickens. Stir in parmesan cheese to whatever your taste preference is. I almost use an entire package, but i love cheese. 

Add the cooked chicken & broccoli to sauce mixture, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss to combine & service with more parmesan on top. 

 Serve with some garlic bread & you are done!! 

 Hello to an easy Monday night dinner after a long day of work. 

 Enjoy!

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what a "no bake" was until a friend of mine told me his favorite cookies were no bakes (this was around Christmas time when I go cookie crazy!). So I looked up a recipe and ended up falling in LOVE with them. They're so quick to make. This recipe here took me (start to finish) 20 minutes to do. So if you want something sweet and have nothing in the pantry to snack on, just whip these up super quick (because you should have everything you need already at home!) and enjoy! No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: - 2 cups sugar - 1/4 cup margarine - 1/2 cup milk - 1 cup peanut butter - 1t vanilla - 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned) In a large saucepan, mix sugar, margarine and milk; bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted; stir in oats. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls on...

A "little bit of everything" cookie

I know it's been a while, but I try to get on here as much as I can, and sadly it's not as much as I wish I could be.  I had some spare time tonight though and thought it was time for some cookies to be made! I have another dinner recipe I want to share, "Drunken Pork chops" but i'll get to that another time.

The World's Best Meatloaf

Talk about a 3 year hiatus...whew. Well I figured I would make an attempt to get back into the swing of things (my baseball reference for the night!) and post a little something for you all to check out. Unfortunately, this is something I made earlier this week and did not snag a picture, but lets be honest, Meatloaf is hard to make look "picture perfect" but I will try to update this recipe with a picture next time I make it. *UPDATE: Picture is now attached. Enjoy! I debated whether or not I wanted to share this recipe with everyone because it's just THAT good, but I thought what the heck, everyone's taste buds should truly experience this. First I'm going to start off with I am NOT a ground beef lover at all. I try to avoid it as much as possible. But Matthew enjoys it, so alas, there I was in the kitchen the first time I made this recipe, grossed out and didn't know how I was going to get through this ordeal but it turned out pretty damn tasty. And...
