Featured Recipe...
Store bought Alfredo sauce tends to be a bit pricey and my family doesn’t really like the taste of it so I came up with my own homemade recipe. This is my 18-year-old's favorite meal.
Fettuccine Alfredo
8 oz. cream cheese, cut in 1-inch cubes (do not substitute low fat or the sauce will be too thin)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (I use the store brand in a shaker can)
1/2 cup butter or margarine (I prefer butter but in a pinch I have used margarine)
2 cups milk
1 lb. fettuccine noodles
Dash of nutmeg (optional, but it adds a nice flavor)
Pepper to taste
Cook pasta by package directions. In a large sauce pan combine butter, cream cheese and milk. Cook on med., stirring constantly until smooth. Be sure to watch carefully to avoid scorching turn down heat if necessary. Add Parmesan cheese stir constantly and allow to simmer until desired thickness. You can add more Parmesan cheese if you like a richer flavor. Add nutmeg and pepper.
Serve over pasta.
Serve with a salad and loaf of Italian bread and this is a nice hearty and frugal meal. This is even a nice meal for when you have company. This meal including the salad and bread costs around $5 and it feeds my family of 6.

Blueberry Syrup - Minced Garlic in a Jar
Featured Recipe...
Blueberry Syrup
I noticed you don't have a blueberry syrup yet... my grandpa shared this easy and QUICK recipe with me and I thought your readers might like this.
5 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (or any fruit you would like)
2 cups sugar
Enough for 2 people
Combine in microwave safe container and "nuke" for 1 minute. Take a fork and smash berries not all just enough for the juice. If you grow and freeze your own it only costs for the sugar. I made some today and it cost me about $2 for everything and I had enough berries to freeze for next time!
Minced Garlic in a Jar
OH AND instead of buying crushed garlic in the little jars, buy garlic, put it in the food processor then put in a jar with a little canola oil. You can have a Mason jar for the price of 2 of the little ones... just another little tid bit i picked up from grandpa!
Hope your kids love it as much as we do!
