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!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix

Lately I have been eating the HECK out of muddy buddies! Sadly, I can finish a whole bag to myself, no problem. So I figured instead of me always going to the store and buying bags upon bags of muddy buddies, I would figure out a way to make them from home. This little mix is SO much better, only because it has more ingredients in it. So easy and it makes a TON of it! Great fall colors incorporated too, so it'll be fun to make for the kids to pack in their lunch as a "happy going back to school" snack! I hope you LOVE this as much as I do! Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix Ingredients - 4 c golden grahams cereal - 2 c coca puffs cereal - 2 c pretzel stucks - 1 c reeses pieces - 1 c dry-roasted panuts - 10 oz white chocolate baking bars or squares, chopped - 2 T butter - 1/2 c powdered sugar In a large bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, peanut butter candies and peanuts; set aside. In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave white chocolate and butter uncovered for 1 m...

Parmesan Zucchini and Corn

Here we are getting into the fall months and all we want to do is spend our time bundled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of tea and the Food Network channel on all day...oh wait, maybe that's just me. I ventured out yesterday from my warm, cozy home and went to my cousin's game night, where we played Farkle (such a fun dice game!) and Cards Against Humanity (always a good laugh with this game). It was an appetizer and snack food kind of night, and I knew my sister was coming who just so happens to be a Vegetarian! So I figured I'd cater towards her just in case there wasn't a lot of other options for food (we are a meat loving family). This is so quick to throw together, less than 15 minutes with prep time! And, IT'S DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike will love this yummy side dish. Bring it as an appetizer or just make it as a side for dinner! Ingredients: 2T olive oil 2 cloves minced garlic 4 zucchini, diced (it's fall, so squash is winding...
