So the other week Matt had to travel for business. I am thankful that this doesn’t happen very often, and that it was only for four days. I decided to make the best of it, and make some dinners that he won’t eat. Like chicken Alfredo. He basically hates most dinners that have a base of white sauce, so I tend not to make them. I on the other hand love them, so when given the chance you know that I’m all about that.
I didn’t want just any chicken Alfredo though. I wanted to step it up a bit so I added portabella mushrooms and bacon. And some super cheesy Alfredo sauce. Because I love cheese.
