Healthy Alfredo and Mac ‘n Cheese and Other Sauces
Jane Day Jane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same." |
This sauce is great on its own as an alfredo sauce. It can also be magically transformed into a variety of other sauces by adding a few different ingredients as suggested below. It is delicious over Ezekiel sprouted grain pasta, beans, vegetables, as a cream soup base or even as a soup all on its own! Make a big batch and use it to make many different fast food dishes over a few days:
