This cream cheese pasta sauce is my spin on Alfredo sauce. We love cream cheese, mushrooms, and garlic, so I decided to try different ways of creating this tasty dish. Serve with fettuccini and sliced crusty bread for mopping up the delicious sauce.

French Toast Soufflé
This French toast bake is a scrumptious casserole of bread, cream cheese, eggs, and milk. It tastes just like regular French toast, but it's made the night before and baked in the oven. It's not very sweet, so you might like more maple syrup with it.
