Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

Life has been a little crazy around here lately. I'm sure you can relate. We've been so busy I'm lucky if I get the kids fed at all, so making some culinary delight is simply out of the question. I have been able to whip up a few yummies, and I have taken pictures, but finding the time to actually post the recipes has been a difficult task. Sooo... for the next few weeks my posts might be few and far between. Bu-uut... I'll make sure they are the really good ones.
Like this one for instance.

Here's what you will need:
1 pint heavy cream
2 T. cream cheese
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. garlic powder
1-2 chicken breasts

Throw all ingredients in a pan and heat until the cheese melts and thickens a little, stirring with a wire whisk. Grill chicken and cut into strips. Serve over fettuccine noodles.

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake

My mother and father in law came up for the weekend to watch me speak in stake conference.... glad that's over....
so I had an excuse to make this unbelievable cake. :) It really can't get easier and you'll be hooked after one bite. Thanks Linds for sharing the recipe.

Here's what you will need:
1 yellow cake mix
1 20 oz. can cherry pie filling
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
1-2 sticks of butter/ margarine
Spread 1/2 of the cake mix on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Dump the cherries and pineapple and spread out.
Sprinkle the rest of the cake mix on top. Thinly slice butter and cover top of cake.
Bake at 350* for 48 to 53 minutes. I dare you to eat just one piece.

Oreo Icecream

A few years ago Chad gave me an ice cream maker for Mother's Day and it is still one of my favorite gifts. I have a hard time getting this recipe to set up so I just put it in the freezer for a few hours. The kids (and Chad) always come begging for seconds.
Here's what you will need:
4 c. milk, half-and-half, or light cream
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 T. vanilla
2 c. whipping cream
Crushed Oreos to taste
In a large bowl combine milk, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until sugar dissolves. Stir in whipping cream. Freeze in a 4 or 5 quart ice-cream maker according to directions. When ice-cream has set up most of the way add Oreos and continue to freeze. Makes 2 quarts.

Lemon Strawberry Freezer Jam

This is such an easy jam recipe and it's really good too. It is a mixture of Haylee's and my sister Michelle's recipes. I made a batch without lemon and added chopped mango and it is also really yummy. There's nothing quite like homemade jam!


Here's what you will need:
4c. crushed strawberries
1/4 c. lemon peel
1 pkg. pectin
1 T. lemon juice
4 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup

Prepare strawberries in a bowl. Grate lemon peel and cook in a little water for 5 minutes. Add lemon to strawberries. In seperate bowl measure sugar. Mix in 1 box pectin into fruit. Let sit for 30 min (stirring every 5 min.) Pour corn syrup into fruit and gradually add sugar. Stir until disolved. Pour into prepared containers. Let stand over night then freeze.

Lemmon Turkey Wraps

I told you I put that dressing on EVERYTHING and I wasn't kidding. It was so stinking good on this wrap, it definately a new favorite now.
Here's what you will need:
Spinach wraps
turkey deli meat
avacado
cheese
cream cheese
red leaf lettuce
tomato
Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

Lay the wrap flat on the table and spread a little cream cheese on it. Layer the lettuce, turkey, avacado, tomatoes and cheese and drizzle the dressing over it all. Wrap up and enjoy!

Shish-ka-bobs

Remember that lemon dressing that I said is so good on EVERYTHING? Here's a perfect example. I just made regular shish-ka-bobs with steak, chicken, onion, and green pepper and drizzled a little of the dressing over them. It added a little kick and they were really delicious, just ask Logan!
