Iam going to take care of a couple of personal items, add a log to the fire, put the little ones to bed and get to work? Uhhhh that's the plan. Yes Lord I will do what I said  was going to do..OH...

I made a simple yet delicious creamy, cheese sauce today so I will jot it down....


Simple Cheese Sauce
1 1/2 sticks butter
1-2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Pinch salt
Pinch white pepper
1/2 tsp dry parsley

Melt butter in a medium sauce pan on a low to med heat. When completely melted, sprinkle flour in butter and whisk until blended. Add milk while still slowly whisking. when you have used all milk add garlic powder blend well. add parsley, blend well. Lastly, add Parmesan cheese. Continue to whisk sauce. If it becomes thick, add more milk or water to thin out. Pour this sauce over warm pasta or chicken and/ or shrimp. Enjoy!
