I crave Olive Garden. And not just when I'm pregnant. It's always. I want that creamy fattening alfredo sauce. I want their comfort food bread sticks dipped in the sauce. Being on a very small budget, Olive Garden has not been a place I've visited for months! Really, months! Wanting an alfredo fix, I looked online for alternatives that would taste close. I found one that is as close as it gets. And, get this--it's called "healthified" alfredo! It has less fat. This recipe will get me through many cravings, I'm sure. Another great thing is that I had everything on hand except for the whole milk. I'm sure low fat would work, but I wanted to get as close to the real thing as I could. Try it for yourself!

Yay! I love trying new recipes, I can't wait to put it to the test. I am also with ya, I LOVE the alfredo sause and breadsticks at olive garden and I have seemed to really be craving them lately. Thanks for sharing.
Ok, that is so funny, because I have been craving Olive Garden like crazy since I've started feeling a little better, and like you, our budget doesn't really allow for satisfying those cravings. I did however get to have some Olive Garden take-out (to sick to partake "in") for our anniversary, and I had their salmon for the first time. I'm not a fish person, but for some reason pregnancy is bringing this random liking out in me. I wish I never would have tried the salmon, or seen your post, cuz now I am craving it again SO BADLY!
Have you ever been craving something so much that you start crying when you realize that you can't have it? Or am I the only one? It's happened to me on a Sunday before, cuz I just couldn't break the sabbath to get what I was craving.
Thanks Brandi - I can't wait to try this - sounds great (and if it's lower in fat - all the better.
Yum!!! I will have to try that this week... looks delicious! Thanks for the hot tip!
I will go with you next time you want to actually go to Olive Garden. My husband hates it there. Although I love it! I just go and get the salad and breadstick combo and then get a side of alfredo sause for my breadsticks. I crave Olive Garden too!
I'm sorry you're still sick. I think I got excited that my "morning" sickness was over a little prematurely. Right after I blogged about how great I was feeling, the nausea and vomiting came back with a vengeance! So, I can still sympathize, darn it, haha. I hope you start feeling better soon! We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed for each other!
