@CarriePie, if you have time, could you give your best tips on making a killer alfredo sauce?
Maybe even list a basic recipe (or link)?
I've tried numerous variations but I seem to keep missing the mark.

I'm liking this recipe. I've been making things lighter lately. I actually used it for the ^chicken cavatappi. I just swapped the shrimp for chicken and altered some other parts of the recipe a bit. You could omit the meat altogether.
As you see, it says:
1 T. olive oil
1 T. butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pep to taste
1 T. flour
2 C. lowfat milk
2 T. cream cheese
But, I would suggest upping the flour just a bit for a bit more thickening power. I cut the recipe in half, so for that amount up to 1 T. of flour for half the recipe. Or if you make the full recipe I suggest 1 1/2 T. - 2T. flour.
Also, instead of 1 T. olive oil and 1 T. butter, I used 2 T. lite butter. I also used whipped cream cheese to make it a bit more lighter, but sticking with regular will taste richer. I'm just trying to lighten things without losing flavor as I reverse all my ice cream eating lol
Additionally, I added some Italian seasoning and a pinch of nutmeg (just my personal taste preference for whatever it's worth).
Skinny Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli Alfredo
Pan seared garlic shrimp, broccoli and pasta tossed in creamy lightened up garlic alfredo sauce that contains no cream! Skinny alfredo is all the rage around here. Now, you can have your pasta with all

I am all about trying to make recipes healthier.
This is probably why a lot of my attempts at cooking fail, because I'm always trying to substitute lower-fat and lower-calorie ingredients.
I like that this isn't using the typical heavy cream and massive amounts of butter like I see in most recipes.
Thank you so much!!
I splurged today and ordered from Bole Ethiopian Restaurant in College Park. I ordered the awaze lamb tibs, injera, and a sambusa. I also ordered ayib (Ethiopian cheese).
The lamb was incredibly tender. Very spicy, but the best lamb meat...

I am all for culinary adventure!!!
But... but... Lambies.
(Never mind me. I'm one of those hypocrites who has no problem eating cows and chickens -- because they're kinda ugly -- but then pretends to have a conscience when it comes to not eating animals I think are cute.)

If it helps any, I only eat lamb on rare occasions lol
I tend to eat a lot of ground turkey. It's low cal, very versatile, tends to be economical, and I just like it. I don't think turkeys are ugly, but I sure consume a lot of them lol
Gyeran bokkeumbap (egg fried rice using the recipe from Korean Bapsang) with chicken cooked in sesame oil. I wanted to eat the entire thing 
Yesterday my friend and I went to use one gift card..
Appetiser was mozzarella sticks with garlic jalapeño mayonnaise.
For main course I chose a flank steak in red wine sauce with veggies.. instead of my usual burger meal, as we also got a dessert, I would not have been able to finish all after a huge burger.
And a dip for my fries were same garlic jalapeño mayo. Which is the best.

I've outdone myself. These teriyaki chicken kabobs were amazing. With homemade teriyaki sauce and placed on a bed of jasmine rice, they were outta sight. But, here's a pic...
Sometimes you just want a burger. This is with a St. Pierre bun and Guy Fieri's sauce. I got another bottle of it! Plus, baked bbq chips.
I found ..old, ehem, expired.. shirataki noodles from my cupboards, so naturally I decided to taste them.
Those taste like.. nothing. But we're really good with chili white cheese.
Garlic chicken and a plain cucumber, bell pepper, lettuce salad with cubed cheddar.

I think those are the same type of noodle my mother would make a Hawaiian dish called chicken long rice, which kind of tastes like chicken noodle soup but with a bunch of ginger in it, sooo good.

Cannot wait to try it. I’m here starving, salivating. I guess it’s time for my lunch time.
