Creamy Chicken Alfredo

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved Fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta noodles mixed with that decadent sauce is one of those cheat meals that makes the next days workout worth it! This Creamy Chicken Alfredo is extra treadmill time worthy. I’ve added the chicken to this for some extra protein and I also use whole milk instead of cream to cut down a little on the calories! It doesn’t change the sauce consistency, it’s still nice and creamy!  Continue reading “Creamy Chicken Alfredo”

Grilled Foil Potatoes

Here in New England we are the furthest thing from grilling weather, however I do know some people who fire up their grills in 3 feet of snow, but I know that there are people who live in areas where you can grill year round! If you want a side that will accompany whatever you are making then these Grilled Foil Potatoes are easy to make and come in their own serving pack! If you go camping a lot, this is a great recipe to keep on hand to eat around the fire!

Brussels Sprouts with a Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce

Vegetarian

I was recently contacted by Tracey Medeiros, an amazing cook and author of Dishing Up Vermont and The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, who told me about a great local event coming up. The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT with be debuting a new lifestyle event series called Contemporary Social on Friday, March 2, 2018. It’s a festive evening that celebrates culture, cuisine and craft. Tracey will be featured there doing a book signing and cookbook food samples. She will also be discussing her latest projects and the farm to table and non-GMO movements.

In honor of the event, I’m featuring a recipe from Tracey, Brussels Sprouts with a Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce that was quoted as “Brussels sprouts with creamy sriracha dipping sauce will convert even purported sprouts naysayers.” by Maria Buteux Reade from Edible Green Mountains Magazine. Tracey is becoming a great local voice on non-GMO cooking and more wholesome, farm to table eating. If this is a topic that interests you, I recommend you check out more of Tracey’s books! You can find The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook here and The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook here. Don’t forget to check out the event in March to be able to speak to Tracey in person!

Skillet Sausage and Broccoli Pasta

I’m a huge fan of easy to put together meals with things you have around the house so this Skillet Sausage and Broccoli Pasta is a great option. I usually always have chicken broth, pasta and Parmesan on hand so when my husband picked up a bunch of sausage home I knew I had to find something tasty to do with it. If you like to buy your veggies in bulk and always have some frozen broccoli around, this recipe is perfect. This can also work with spinach if you have that on hand. This is easy to put together and a great weeknight meal for a group of hungry people. This also reheats well so it’s a good leftover option for next day lunches!
