Homemade Alfredo Sauce

This is a really good, really easy and simple Alfredo sauce to add to any noodles of your choice.  I hate having an Alfredo sauce that tastes heavy and this does not taste heavy at all.  Great sauce and so much better than store bought.

Streak Free Windows

I always clean the outside of my windows as part of my Spring Cleaning and although they look pretty good they still have streaks all over them. So, you can imagine how happy I was when I saw this pin that promised no streaks on your windows.  Although, I was a little skeptical I decided to give it a try and see how it worked.  Let me say that this recipe is AMAZING.  Not only were my windows SUPER clean there were absolutely no streaks on my windows at all.  This recipe is seriously AMAZING, it costs a little because most likely you will have to buy one or two of the ingredients but the ingredients will last forever and through several batches so it ends up being pretty cheap.  It is super easy to do and super easy to put together.  I will always use this from now on to clean my windows.

Double Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

These were good but had a very weird texture to them.  I could not get past the texture of the cookies, it made the whole experience bad.  Although, they tasted good and were easy to make, I would not make them again because of the texture.

Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli

I was really excited for this meal, it claimed it was as good as any Chinese takeout so I had to give it a try.  Nope, it was not that good, the meat was tough and dry and the taste was nothing like Chinese takeout.  I was pretty disappointed in the whole meal and will not make this again.

Lunch Lady Brownies

We tried these lunch lady brownies the other night and I have to say they were good but nothing that I would make again.  I felt like they were sort of dull and lacked a real chocolate taste and they definitely did not fly off of the plate like some desserts do. Nothing to write home about or a whole blog post about.

Baked Buffalo Wings

These made me so sick, I literally was sick for three days from this recipe.  I just do not do well with spice and I eat buffalo wings that are mild and do just fine but these were way to spicy for me to handle.  Other than that they were good, pretty easy to make and others in the family really liked them. My only recommendation is that you make sure you flip them because I forgot to flip them halfway through and that made some of them really soggy and if you do not like spice these are not for you.
