[RECIPE] Chicken Spinach Tomato Alfredo
I love pasta with Alfredo sauce but often find it feeling/tasting too heavy. I’ve created a recipe that lets me enjoy the creaminess of Alfredo but lightens it up a bit with diced canned tomatoes and of course veggies!

RECIPE: Mashed Potatoes with Green Onions
