Lightened Up Fettuccine Alfredo

Happy Monday morning, everyone! If I don’t jump right in, I might just explode. Because I’ve been dreaming of and cooking up a storm like it’s my job. Well, it sort of is. The weird thing is that I’ve been making the same thing over and over again. It’s so unlike me to stick with the same recipe and see how many different ways I can incorporate it into our lives.

There are just a few dishes that I tend to make on the regular, but most of what I prepare for dinner involves new recipes and serving up whatever my fellow food bloggers are sharing. I love change and am always trying out something new. At least when it comes to food.

There have been several attempts at recreating some of my husband’s favorite dishes ever since finding out that lactose just isn’t his best friend.

It also happens to be my first actual pie post here on the blog. And for good reason. Pie-baking only happens once a year in our kitchen and that is the day on which my hubby turns a year older.

It’s my least favorite thing to bake, but I gladly make an exception for my pie-loving man. So when I say this is the easiest pie of life, you better believe that I am not kidding around.

Here’s how you can get your pie fix on. Continue reading
