Garlic Pasta Sauce
My family loves all kinds of white sauces such as Alfredo and they love anything with garlic. I make Alfredo quite often, but unless I plan ahead, I rarely have heavy cream. There were many times that I wanted to make Alfredo but didn’t have the heavy cream or Parmesan cheese, so I figured out a way to make a white garlic sauce that they love that doesn’t require heavy cream or Parmesan. I never make it exactly the same way and it can be very flexible to accommodate your likes or dislikes.

Can Baked Chicken be Juicy?
I don’t like to fry foods very often. Not only is it less healthy, but it makes a big mess in my kitchen. The problem with this is that my husband loves fried food especially fried chicken. I have tried cooking chicken in all sorts of ways over the years, but he really never liked them all that much. Another problem is that he likes dark meat and I like white meat, so over the last few years I have been experimenting with different chicken recipes for thighs and legs and I would just throw a breast in for me. Some would be okay but nothing he really liked much…
