How do you chose what’s for dinner at your home? We take turns, with each of us choosing a meal. My daughter would always ask for spaghetti, no matter what day it was. So we decided to make Wednesday spaghetti day. In the commercial, Anthony’s family has spaghetti and meatballs every week.

That wasn’t going to work for us. So I slowly began to branch out. Fetuccine alfredo went over very well for my daughter, but not so well for my waistline. I found and adapted this light and tasty recipe that I hope you’ll enjoy as well. It’s an especially good option when you’re out of milk.
