Fettuccini Alfredo
o   12oz thawed chicken breast
o   8 oz cooked fettuccini noodles
o   8-10oz Classico Roasted Garlic alfredo sauce
o   Salt & Pepper to taste

Start boiling water in a large pot, once boiling add noodles and cook for 10-12 minutes. In a separate pan cook chicken breasts until cooked through. Once chicken is cooked cut it into small chunks and set to the side briefly. When the noodles are done add the alfredo sauce and cut up chicken and mix well. If desired add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and garnish with parsley.


Steamed Broccoli
Put broccoli in a microwave-safe dish. Add 2-3 Tbsp of water and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until broccoli is cooked.


Hasselback Apples
o   2 Braeburn apples
o   ¼  c. butter
o   6 Tbsp flour
o   1 tsp cinnamon
o   2 Tbsp sugar
o   2 Tbsp brown sugar
o   Vanilla ice cream

Peel both apples, cut them into halves, and core them. Now you should have four halves. Turn the apples so that the flat side is against the counter top. Cut slices ½ inch apart, BUT DON’T CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Leave about ¼ inch in tact at the base. Mix together the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar and pour/spread evenly over the apples. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. While cooking take the 2 tablespoons of frozen butter, cut it into tiny pieces, and mix in the flour and sugar. When the apples come out of the oven add this mixture to the tops and bake for 15 more minutes at 425 degrees. Once done, serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each.

(You can use different flavor of jello and adjust the fruit used but always use the crushed pineapple. I like raspberry and also strawberry banana for a change. You could put bananas in the orange one too but don't stir in bananas until time to serve.)

Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.

5 Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
