Fettuccine Alfredo

This is an adaptation of too many recipes to reference here. I used several as guides, but ultimately made some arbitrary changes both for my heart health's sake (for example, using a cup of butter felt excessive even with a full box of fettuccine) and for my own tastes. I so wanted to make this the authentic Italian way, but North America's love for cream (and my love for garlic!) won out. As always, do as you feel led if you give this a try!

Sausage Breakfast Casserole

As you will see when you scroll down, I woke up this morning and chose cardiac issues! Needless to say, this is a delicious casserole as a result. I used Elise Bauer's lovely recipe as a base, but made a few changes to make this work better with my family's tastes. Change what you like if you give this a try, I certainly did!

Spaghetti with Parmesan

If you love pasta and you love parmesan, then this is the recipe for you! It's a simple but delicious working-at-home meal that has featured regularly on my menu since returning to North America at the start of the pandemic. (Parmesan was somewhat more precious a commodity in East and Southeast Asia!) You can of course make this fancier - fry some minced garlic in butter, swap out the cheaper parmesan crumbles for freshly imported and/or grated, et cetera - but that versatility is what has made this a staple in my family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
