Valentines day recipes by request

A couple of you wanted the recipes for the Cajun chicken Alfredo and the garlic cheddar biscuits I made on Valentines Day. Well here you go :)  Sorry it took me so long. Hope you make it and enjoy it!!!


Cajun Alfredo
8 ounces Cream cheese −− cut in bits
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese −− grated
1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1/2 cup Milk- If sauce seems too thick add more milk. Sometimes I have to.
Cajun seasoning to taste
For the chicken, pour some Cajun seasoning in a zip lock bag, dice your chicken toss in the bag and shake.
cook on stop top with a little butter. Add to your pasta when finished.

8 ounces linguine (that's what they use at Red Lobster but use what you like!); cook −− drain
In large saucepan combine cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and
milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Add Cajun seasoning. Taste as you add to decide how much you want to use. Toss pasta lightly with
sauce, coating well.



Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
Adapted from: Food and Whine
Yield: 12 large biscuits or 18 small ones
2 cups/250g all-purpose flour (unbleached or regular)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 cup/75g butter, cold, cut into chunks
2 Tbsp. canola or any flavourless, odourless vegetable oil
1 heaping cup/ 6-7 oz. /150-170g grated cheddar cheese (sharp flavoured is best, I used extra sharp)
1/2 – 2/3 cup or 120-160ml milk (I didn’t need more than 1/2 a cup)
For brushing on top:
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes or 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder.
2. Add the cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut butter into flour until it is coarse, pea-sized (doesn’t need to be fine).
3. Add oil, grated cheddar cheese and the milk. Stir till well combined and holds together.
4. Make sure to keep adding milk a bit at a time, just until the dough is moistened and you can no longer see any raw flour.
5. Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an un-greased cookie sheet or a Silpat using an ice cream scoop or large spoon.
6. Bake for 15-17 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F/.
7. While biscuits are baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter is a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the parsley.
8. When biscuits come out of the oven, use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Do this a few times – it’s fun to watch all the butter getting absorbed into the biscuit! Use up all of the butter. Serve warm.

I like to add a garden salad with this meal. Makes it complete and similar to Red Lobster! Let me know if you make it and what you think.
