Olive Garden's Alfredo Sauce

This is a really rich, creamy, and flavorful alfredo recipe that only has 4 ingredients and supper fast and easy to make.  I have tried a lot of alfredo sauces and this one is the best!

1 cube butter (1/2 c.)
1 pint whipping cream (2 cups)
6 oz. grated parmesan cheese
1 package alfredo sauce mix

Heat all ingredients over the stove over low to medium heat stirring frequently so it does not burn.  Cook till it boils.  You can also double boil until the cheese is melted.  That's it!!!

I pour over fetuchini noodles and cooked chicken for a delicious meal.

This makes quite a large batch.  I half the recipe for my family.

Taco Salad

I learned about this type of taco salad at a Relief Society Women's Conference Broadcast.  The stake had a dinner before the broadcast and this was what they served.  We eat it a lot because it is so easy to make and everyone in the family can make their own type of salad depending on what they like to eat.

1-2 cans of Stagg Chili Chunkero Chili with Beans

Tortilla Chips

Shredded lettuce

Shredded cheddar cheese

Sliced green onions

Sliced olives

Sour cream

Salsa

Warm the chili up over low heat over the stove or in the microwave.  I put all the toppings on the table and everyone makes there own taco salads.  Very easy, healthy, and yummy.
