Fettucini Alfredo

• 1 lb. fettuccine or pasta
• 1/4 lb. butter
• 3 egg yolk
• 1 1/2 c. cream or half and half
• 1 c. grated Parmesan cheese or any other light tasting cheese such as Monterrey Jack
• Salt & pepper

Melt butter in saucepan. Add the cream and stir constantly. When it begins to thicken and look creamy stir in the cheese. Keep cooking on medium heat until you have a nice consistency. (slightly thick...but not too thick)

Remove from heat and stir in egg yolks immediately.

Cook pasta. Drain.

Pour sauce over pasta and enjoy!

Note: Add the Crabcakes to this and you'll have a great meal! (recipe can be found in listing under April 2009)

"Dirt" Chocolate Pudding Kid's Recipe

• 1 large container Cool Whip
• 2 pkg. Oreo Cookies
• 3 large box chocolate pudding
  (for an extra touch use chocolate mint chip pudding)

Place cookies in a large zip lock bag and let the kids crush them up.
Make the pudding using 1 c. less milk than pkg. directions indicate.
Mix the crushed cookies into the pudding.
Fold the Cool Whip into the mixture.
Top with gummy worms and your done.

Makes a large bowl of pudding

Note: This is a great recipe for a group of kids. Even though the ingredients are few it can be broken down in many steps by passing the bowl around the table and allowing each kid to

• Open, pour pudding mixture
• Add milk 1 cup at a time, mixing each cup in after it's poured
• Separate the cookies; one zip bag per kid
• Each kid crushes and adds his/her own cookies
• Divide the Cool Whip up between kids and add to the mixture

Chicken Toastettes

White Sauce is needed for this recipe (you will find it in Aprils recipes)

• 6 slices square white bread
• 2 1/2 c. chopped cooked chicken (any variety)
• 1/4 small onion chopped
• 1 stick chopped celery
• 1/2 c cooked peas
• 1tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 stick butter or margarine

Cut off the crusts and butter one side of each piece of bread.
Carefully place the bread into a muffin tin, forcing it into shape.
Bake the bread at 350 for approx. 15 min or until browned. Remove toast cups from tin and place on individual serving plates. (I usually use two per serving)

Mix all of the above ingredients together and then add this mixture to the white sauce.

Pour the hot creamed chicken mixture into each toast cup and enjoy!

Note: This is a great recipe for using up leftover chicken or turkey. I make it one of my "7 days of turkey" meals after every thanksgiving.
