This Alfredo dish is a light version of a creamy classic Italian-style dish! Add sautéed onions, garlic, and lightly cooked broccoli, and you have created a terrific dish! I sometimes substitute peas for broccoli.

Light Wheat Rolls
This is a yummy recipe for a light wheat roll that I keep in my special book of most liked recipes. They are not complicated at all to make, just a lot of rising time.
Vegan Paella
This is a twist on a Spanish-favorite. Use seitan, tofu, or tempeh to add a protein element. I substituted turmeric for the traditional saffron to cut costs.
