I am a total meat and potatoes girl, while my husband is a veggie and salad guy. As in he doesn’t like Steak and I LOVE steak. So I don’t usually make heavy meat based meals. On the SUPER rare occasions when we go out to eat I like to go places where I can get a good steak.

But it’s not always economical to get an amazing steak. SO I decided during my last pregnancy (I’m anemic when pregnant and eat a LOT of meat) to learn how to make a GREAT steak. I’ve tried EVERY recipe I’ve been able to find and this is the BEST one!

I love pasta. Like LOVE it. Alfredo has been my favorite sauce forever. So when I first started cooking from scratch this was one of the first recipes I worked on. It’s been a family favorite ever since. I make it about once a month. And it cooks up fast so it’s a great last min meal when I’m short on time.

It’s not considered “true” alfredo because I start with the butter/flour mixture to keep it together and thicken it. I like it better though because the butter doesn’t separate and you can use it as leftovers much better. We’ll make chicken alfredo one night and then later that week do our Alfredo Pizza and reheat the sauce easily!
