Steelers Game

Downtown Pittsburgh

Dear Family and Friends,

I just got back from a vacation in Pittsburgh. It was a very exciting trip! The temperature their was in the 60's and 70's while, here in Texas it was in the 90's.

It was fun being some where different. Steeler fans were everywhere! My husband and I felt like we fit in! LOL! It is steeler nation! It is expected of you to support the steelers by wearing the apparel. When my husband and I wear our apparel around home we get a lot more response because you defiantly don't see other steeler fans that often.

We couldn't have made the road trip without the TOM -TOM! It is worth investing in one! My mom let me borrow hers. I am going to invest in one! It saved our marriage! LOL ! I couldn't be blamed if we got lost! We did get lost one time coming into Pittsburgh because TOM-TOM couldn't locate the street of our hotel. We ended up going through a bad part of town late at night. That was scary! Thankfully the hotel was by the airport so, we just entered in airport.

Napkin Holder

Napkin Holder

Buy a case of your favorite drink and save the case to use as a napkin holder.

It could be a Dublin Dr. Pepper case ,that would be very cute!

I even use it to put chopsticks and sometimes plastic silverware for parties! I have this one because it is my husbands favorite beer to drink! I like it too because it says family even though I don't drink beer!

It's a wonderful thing!....coffee girl

Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Salad

Yummy!!

Tomorrow is my birthday so, I made something very simple.

I like to make this dish and it is one of my husbands favorites!

I was going to make the Alfredo sauce from scratch but, I ran out of heavy whipping cream.

Here is the recipe for Alfredo sauce.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.

If you can't make the Alfredo sauce from scratch, I like to buy this Alfredo sauce below.

For the meat in the pasta I grilled a boneless skinless chicken.

Side salad with a topping of cheese flavored french fried onions.

And a glass of chardonnay will go very well with this dish! Bon Appetit!!!
