Prep Time: 5 Min
Cook Time: 15 Min
Serves: 2

1 Medium Pan
1 Small Pan

2 Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Ripe Bananas (Thick Sliced)
2 Tbls Butter
4 Tbls Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Walnuts (chopped)
Spiced Rum

Cook Chicken thoroughly lightly season to your taste of choice. After chicken is done keep the pan on low.


Melt butter over medium heat slowly add brown sugar and stir until well mixed and melted (you may need to add a couple teaspoons of water to keep the sugar from sticking and hardening), add bananas. Stirring often cook until Bananas are fairly warm and starting to soften (about 2 min.) Add Walnuts and rum to taste, and swirl in pan a bit.

Three-Cheese Alfredo Sauce

This recipe Originally came from Spark People Recipes.
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=637402

Minutes to Prepare: 10
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1/2 tbsp butter
    8 oz nonfat cream cheese (can use regular or light cream cheese instead)
    2 cloves garlic (or equivalent)
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    2 C nonfat milk
    6 oz mozzarella cheese (3/4 cup)
    2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (or to your taste. Calories are for 2 tbsp)
    salt or garlic salt to season


Directions
-Melt butter in sauce pan on medium
-Add cream cheese and stir till melted and creamy
-add garlic and pepper
-Gradually pour in milk until well blended and creamy
-Stir in mozzarella until melted.
-Mix in Parmesan
add salt as desired

It thickens as it cools. Thin with nonfat milk if needed.

Note: Because nonfat cheeses don't melt quite the same as high-fat cheeses, you may need to pop the sauce in a blender to smooth it out, or use a hand blender.

This recipe is good for an alternative pizza sauce too, and anything else you could think of. We also thought that the sauce came out a bit thick so we added in an extra 1/2 cup milk.
