Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Bacon

Roasted Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pizza I will almost always choose a white sauce pizza over marinara. I'm obsessed with Alfredo sauce, what can I say? This afternoon I made this little lover. Even though my husband would deem it a "chick pizza", I think it's positively delicious.  I was inspired by the recipe linked above. But I'll post my recipe version below.  2 packets of generic brand pizza dough dry mix 1/2 package bacon, cooked crispy 1/2 lb chicken cooked chicken (I slow cook mine in the crock pot for 3 hours with onions, chicken stock, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh basil) 1/4 white onion, sliced 1/2 lb Italian mix cheese Alfredo Sauce (I make mine from scratch) Prepare the pizza dough according to the directions on package. While it's "pre"cooking in the oven, make your Alfredo sauce (I make mine by way of the traditional roux. Ingredients: butter, garlic, milk, chicken stock, salt, pepper, flour, Italian cheese)

Crock Pot Southwestern Taco Soup

This is one of our favorite recipes here. Whenever we have company over for dinner, this soup is usually one of the ones we consider. It's so easy to throw into the crock pot, and let it simmer away into absolute deliciousness. Plus, it's crammed full of nutritional excellence, I must say. This soup is fantastic with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh avocado. Sometimes we use sour cream if it's in the fridge. This makes A TON. We usually have it for dinner, lunch, dinner, and then lunch again - and there's only two of us. Southwestern Taco Soup 2 chicken breasts, sliced. 1 packet Taco Seasoning 3 cups chicken broth 3 cans Italian stewed tomatoes 1 bunch cilantro chopped, with the stems removed salt and pepper to taste 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed 2 cans sweet corn, drained and rinsed In a slightly oiled pan, cook the sliced chicken breasts (salt and pepper those suckers). Add a little of the taco seasoning pack

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

  Oreo Cheesecake Cookies Today I made these to feed my ongoing fetish with cookies and cream flavors. When I snuck a taste of the dough, I thought they'd be more than excellent cookies. But then after I tasted them baked, they weren't half as good as the dough. Usually this is the case with cookies - the dough tastes better than the actual cookie - don't know why I was surprised by this, then. I think they'd go awesome with a tall glass of cold milk, though. Yield: About 1 dozen cookies ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup mini chocolate chips 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and well-combined. 3. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix
