Second Dish of Christmas - Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

I made this dish for Mitzi and Danny's couples shower this past weekend. It was so yummy and the dish was gone by the end of the night! I thought using fresh pasta really made a difference (my opinion). It also cooks super fast (about 4 minutes).

I used a Giada De Laurentiis recipe from her book Everyday Italian and can also be found here. The only changes I made were adding chicken and parsley and omitting the nutmeg.

It was great seeing everyone! Thanks Shellie and Jon for being such great hosts!

First Dish of Christmas - Cream Biscuits

I have finally had some time in town to do my First Dish of Christmas! I made "Cream Biscuits" that I saw on the delicious Smitten Kitchen website. They turned out really well! Perfect snack on this cold day. I added about half the sugar the recipe called for and rolled the dough out a bit thinner than called for so I could be sure to have enough to bring for the shower decorators to snack on tomorrow! Be sure to check out the pics and the recipe here!

Dear Santa,
