As a busy wife, small business owner, and mother of 4 small children, I develop weekly menus to help keep myself on track. I started this blog as a way to share these menus (and some of my favorite recipes) with other busy cooks. Since my first post it has evolved into a discussion of not only food but other aspects of life. Check out my tips, recipes, and, of course, my weekly menus. I hope they are a help as you manage your own home (and life).

Chicken Alfredo
INGREDIENTS
12oz. Pasta (I like Penne or Bowtie pasta)
2 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 cups half-n-half
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and then cut into 1/2" strips
DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta al dente, according to package instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt butter. In a small bowl, whisk together half-n-half, egg yolk, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Add to butter and stir until thickened.
Toss pasta with sauce; top with chicken and more cheese. Serve family style.
You can also add broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, or even roasted red peppers. I like to serve it with fresh, homemade French Bread and herb butter (butter, garlic, herbs, and just a little bit of olive oil).
