cranberry sauce

So this is super easy and sooo much better than canned.




1c. Orange juice (use fresh if you can and add pulp)
1/2c. White sugar
1/2c. Brown sugar
1/4tsp. Cinnamon
1/2-1tsp of orange zest (optional but yummy)
12oz. Pk fresh cranberries
Place first 5 ingredients into medium size sauce pan. Heat on medium setting stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Add cranberries and return to boil stirring occasionally. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer about 10 to 20 minutes. Continue to stir occasionally. For a thicker sauce go to a full 20 minutes. Pour into a container and allow to cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate until serving. Enjoy

Alfredo (Rhonda)

ok I have tried many many alfredo recipes and this is the one I keep coming back too! YES ITS THICK AND YES ITS CREAMY but isn't that what Alfredo is all about??? I am not the kind that likes the thin alfredo that the skinny chicks like. If it don't taste good it ain't worth making!!!! Hence the name of the blog!

1 pint heavy cream
1 pkg. (8 oz.)cream cheese

3/4 c. real Parmesan
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

In a saucepan melt butter, add cream cheese. Once cream cheese is softened add heavy cream. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Add Parmesan, garlic, salt, & pepper. Stir well. Serve over noodles.

* you can also add chicken, bacon or broccoli I have tried all these and its always good!!!

Now when I make this I make it about 4 times because I LOVE ALFREDO and I hate pasta so its weird huh! Anyways I love alfredo sauce with my bread sticks, I love alfredo sauce in my calzones and in another post you will see what else I do with my alfredo sauce! It doesnt take very much to coat your stuff either!

(Please excuse the pic I got the leftovers which wasnt much lol)
