I made Alfredo Sauce to go with Italian Chicken and Fettucini Noodles tonight. I modified a Cooks.com recipe. Here is what I did:
Alfredo Sauce
3 1/4 cups milk (made from long-term storage powdered milk)
1 tsp garlic powder (I probably would reduce this to 1/2 tsp next time)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
6 triangles of Laughing Cow cheese (approx 4 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
Mix all ingredients and then warm over a low heat until thickened.
This was delicious and made quite a bit of sauce. I had enough left over to put into a jar and store it in the refrigerator. It probably wasn't the most frugal recipe because of the Laughing Cow cheese. It could probably be made cheaper with a store brand cream cheese, but Laughing Cow was what I had.
Crispy Italian Chicken (adapted from Wonder Woman I'm Not who obtained it from Anthem Heart Smart Recipes book)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbs Parmesean cheese
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt
8 chicken tenders (there was enough mix to do twice this much)
1/2 cup milk
Mix all dry ingredients together. Dip chicken in milk and then toss in dry ingredients. Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees until browned.
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls (adapted from Simple Daily Recipes.com)
1 1/3 cup warm milk (I used reconstituted powdered milk)
1 Tbsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp yeast
4 Tbsp oil3 cups whole wheat flour (ground from my wheat)
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
Do you think the Alfredo sauce would work well using freeze dried mozzarella & Monterey Jack cheese? I just might have to try it.....
