Alfredo Sauce

1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese (fresh has the best flavor)
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Melt butter in med. saucepan using med. heat. Add cream and simmer 5 min. Add garlic and cheese. Whisk quickly. Stir in parsley and serve.

This recipe has been frozen successfully, however it has never been kept in the freezer for longer than one month because it always gets used up by then!

I will have to try this one. I have an alfredo recipe with the same ingredients in a different ratio. I love it, but it separates when refrigerated, let alone freezing. If this one doesn't separate, it *might* be worth making the change to my trusty beloved recipe. ;-)

About this blog:

We are a group of moms who get together about once a month or so to cook Meals Made Ahead.

Meals Made Ahead are great because it's nice to always have something in the freezer for those nights that are busy, those nights when you can't think of anything to make, those nights when you have nothing to cook with because you didn't feel like dragging two screaming kids through the grocery store, those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.

Sure, we could do this on our own. But it's much more fun to cook with friends (and share the clean up!)

The secret ingredient

"If a woman could see the sparks of light going forth from her fingertips when she is cooking, and the substance of light that goes into the food she handles, she would be amazed to see how much of herself she charges into the meals that she prepares for her family and friends. It is one of the most important and least understood activities of life, that the radiation and feeling that go into the preparation of food affect everyone who partakes of it. And this activity should be unhurried, peaceful, and happy because the substance of the lifestream performing the service flows into that food and is eaten, and actually becomes part of the energy of the receiver. It would be better that an individual did not eat at all than to eat food that has been prepared under a feeling of anger, apathy, resentment, depression, or any outward pressure."
