Low Fat Fettuccine Alfredo for #MeatlessMonday

I love alfredo.  I am on the hunt for a tasty, low fat alfredo sauce.  I'm still working on it.  I forget it's a sauce.  I will continue to perfect this recipe.  This one was really good!  It was tasty, had a nice parm flavor, and the mushrooms were a perfect compliment.  Yes I have a portobello recipe.  This one is different slightly.  LOL


I know that not all recipes will be tasty to all people, so I pretty much post almost all my recipes here for y'all to pick which ones you like best.

I.DO.NOT like family drama.  Yes, it continues.  I love my family.  I will always love my family.  BUT I am hating them at the same time.  *sigh*

And people wonder why I don't talk to them more.  

So, chaos ensues with this government shut down.  We are almost all exempt as we are not funded with appropriated funding.  We are 100% reimbursable.  However, we have a few personnel that are funded by appropriated dollars.  Gotta love that Economy Act funding....NOT!  Ours is usually multi-year and the salaries are taken off the top.  Overhead.  Love that word.

BUT we have a few peeps that will have to be on a plane 10/1 if the gubment doesn't figure out how to fix this shiznit.  Please, do not get me started on politics.  

So, yeah.  Its just been one of those days.  I think instead of venting on shite that I've already vented on I'll just leave you with this tasty dinner.  It really was good...or at least I thought so.

Enjoy!
