Recipe for Alfredo:
Melt butter to your liking in a pot
Add (to your preference) Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Red Pepper Flakes, & Cajun Seasoning.
Add your 16 ox of Half &Half.
When heated add your 8 oz of cheese, (I used Mozzarella.heat until melted . Add salt & pepper to taste.
Boil your pasta. When pasta is cooked add about 1/2 cup pasta water to sauce. Mix until incorporated. Drain pasta. Cover with sauce and cheese.
Side note: I add Gorgonzola and Sundried tomatoes to my sauce when not on a budget because I love the tangy flavor it gives.
To each and every person who has subscribed and given me words of kindness and encouragement. I must say a heartfelt thank you. For someone who struggles with a lack of self confidence, you have no idea what a profound and positive influence this has caused. Thank you so very much.
Your amazing and love your videos
@@bettyknight7707 thank you
Love your videos can’t wait to see more.
@@teresawills9224 thank you
That's amazing. I can be quite shy, too. I wanted to work on it, so I started giving random complements as a way to start conversations. I always think someone has nice hair, or a pretty blouse, or is wearing cute earrings... but was always nervous to strike up a conversation. But It worked. Challenging ourselves to tackle something we struggle with, but in a way that makes us still feel like ourselves (like you sharing your crafting) is a great way to break out of our shells. You're doing a great job, Aunt Vickie.
“doing what i need to do so every one can eat” sounds like my definition of a good cook!
Thank you
Good job! The kraut, weenies and potato cakes sound great, too!
Oh yes!
I would love to see you cook the weenies and potato cakes
Hi Vickie, Brooke sent me! For someone who "doesn't cook", I think you did an awesome job with the bowtie alfredo, you were within budget, and your husband liked it. I would have loved to see the hot dogs and sauerkraut with potato cakes, too.
Thank you
Watched the videos back to back. Seriously, considering you haven't done this before, I think you did a good job. You could have grabbed a bottle of sauce and the pasta and called it a video. You make something from scratch.
Just remember.....Brooke has to do a craft video. :)
Anxiously awaiting it
Hey, I wanna see that sauerkraut meal you mentioned. Pretty please. It sounds delicious.
Me too!!
My mom makes the absolute best
You did it! Great challenge. Now on to crafting, Brooke!
I’m looking forward to it
You did great Vickie! Tasty pasta, homemade Alfredo sauce, and a husband who says “I’d eat this again.” You nailed it!
Thank you
You did great! The challenges are always interesting & fun.. getting creative & staying on a budget & seeing the final product. Thank you for doing this. Brooke sent me! ❤
Thank you and welcome
You did so good! Sometimes I stress myself crazy trying to come up with a meal plan while being frugal. Brooke has definitely taught me to go into the store, find what I can find on sale, and work my meals around what I find. Doing that has really helped me!
She is absolutely the best and not just at what she does here in her channel but as a person
Hi Brooke sent me. You did a great job. A messy cook is a great cook, so they always say. Look awesome to me. You inspired me to try to make alfredo sauce from scratch. I'm not a cook either. I use a lot of cook books. Can't wait to see Brooke do crafts. She is such a hoot, love watching her family.
Awesome! Thank you!
Pasta is always a great budget friendly meal you did a wonderful job i think you can do more of these than you think. Everything doesn't need to be a fancy thing it just hasto taste good and your family likes and appreciates it. That is a winner 🏆
Thank you
Looks yummy ❤…Great job
Thank you 😋
If you are not a professional chef who went to Culinary and Gastronomical School (which is not a simple cook's school at least here in the E.U) it is all right to be messy. I am messy too. I always spill or drop something 😆Sometimes even worse accidents happens...like plate a whole bowl of steamed broccoli right on the table...no plates...nothing... I accidentally turned it upside down as it slipped away from my hands 🤣🤣 I came from Brooke's channel, and I think you definitely did a good job! ❤ Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you so much
I am so happy you are challenging each other. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Please continue to be you.😊
Thank you, I will
Hey Aunt Vickie! One of Brooke’s besties here. You did a fantastic job! Great tip for people out there that you showed… save your condiments from places. Use them when you’re out of something, to add flavor to dishes, or stick in to go lunches. And ummm…yes, we want to see the weenies and kraut with potato cakes!
I’ll think about the kraut and weinies
Don't be so hard on yourself! Did you spend less than $5ish? Were your bellies full? Was it tasty? Then you rocked it!! I think you should do this more often to challenge yourself. Brooke didn't become an expert at this without a lot of trial and error!
Thank you you are so kind
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner: OK they said everything I was going to say, but they're right. Practice makes perfect as the old saying goes & Brooke's had alot of practice. You'll get better the more often you do it. Great Job!!
Now its Brooke's turn in your crafty corner.
@@violetvillard1347 exactly
If my hubby eats it..I consider it a win.
@@cindydaniel6125 me too considering he’s not a big fan of Italian food lol
Hi aunt Vickie, your meal was a success!You came in on budget,your husband liked it,what more could you want,you're a star.I cant wait to see what Brooke makes when she's crafting.Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you
That looked delicious. Im gonna try that sometime. You did really well.
Thank you
aunt Vickie I think you did an awesome job. You have no idea what an impact you are doing teaching us skills and sharing your ideas with us. Don’t ever stop doing what you do
Omg that is the sweetest thank you so much
Great job!! Alfredo is a favorite of mine💗
Mine too!
Sent by Brooke! That look’s delicious you did a great job on this challenge. ❤❤❤
Thanks for coming
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner You’re very welcome I am enjoying your channel, I love crafts
Looks delicious!
Thank you
Great job!
Thank uou
Looks great! Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Thank you
Great job Aunt Vickie. Can’t wait to see how Brooke does with the craft challenge. We should make this a regular challenge, an annual thing. 😁
Thank you. Great idea
Looks yummy I wouldn’t add the red peppers I don’t like the heat, but everything else looks good.
It actually wasn’t much spicy at all but I get what you’re saying. I don’t like intense heat.
Good job, you really made a good plan
Thank you
Love this challenge between you and Brooke! You did very well! Excited to see the craft challenge!!
Me too
You did a great job! Good for you that you accepted the challenge!🎉
Thank you 🤗
I watch Brooke alot I have faith in you!! She has inspired me. I used to be tight as a military wife with 3 kids taught them how to plan a menu but Walmart sure doesn't compare to commissary and closest on of those is 2 hrs😢
Great job! I like to microwave my pasta it's just me, I put it in a microwave safe bowl and cover it well with water, cook for 8 minutes and let it sit in the water until it gets the consistency I want it, I'm not crazy about al dente, then I can drain it and add what ever sauce I'm using.
That's a great idea!
Great job! Looks delish!
Thank you 😋
Hey, Vickie! This looks delicious! I also cook for just my husband and myself. I’ll definitely be making this! Thanks for the great meal idea. You go, girl! ♥️
Thank you
Sent by Brooke! Great job!!!
Thank you, I can say she is the best at what she does and this gave me a new appreciation for the job she does.
I can’t wait to see her do your crafting challenge!!
I’m glad I found your channel. Good on you for being up for the challenge. It really looks very good.
Thank you and thanks for coming
It looks good to me!! Great job!
Thank you! 😊
Here from Brookes channel. She's a frugal meals genius. You did a great job, you should try it again sometime.
She sure is and thank you
You underestimate yourself! You accepted a challenge, worked through the guidelines, and put a delicious meal on table! Bravo! I always admire people who travel out of their comfort zone with success! Many blessings! Stay safe! ❤ 😊
Thank you. I have to admit it was a challenge
You did a great job! Just remember that you only get better the more you practice!
Thank you
What a great idea. I never would have thought you could make homemade Alfredo sauce with noodles for 5 bucks!!!
Yes you can!
You did a heck of a job. My alfredo comes form a jar and I am proud that I could open the jar. Great job watched both videos back to back and saved yours to teach me how to make alfredo sauce NOT from a jar.
Thank you so much
Making fresh Alfredo was a good option. I am sure much tastier than buying a jar. I liked the sound of your other idea too. Maybe an episode 2
Thank uou
Nice job, looks yummy! I use a spoon rest to help keep my kitchen clean. 😊
Great tip!
Your channel and Brooke’s are some of the only channels I don’t skip the advertising for. Hope my views generate money for you both.
Thank you so much
There is nothing boring about alfredo, it's one of my favorite dishes. A creamy lemon (alfredo) is actually one of my staple go to options at one of my local restaurants.
Meaning, not only is it not boring, but I’m willing to pay good money for it too, lol!
I love lemony Alfredo sauce
Here from Brooke's channel. Not bad for your first challenge meal. It can be intimidating, but you did it!
Thank you so much
I'm here from Brooke's channel too. You did great!
@@ambrosined1981 thank you
Awesome
Thank you
You did great. $5 budget is hard but you and Brooke taught me you can make it work. 😊
Thank you
Whoot whoot!!!! Great job Vicki 😊 Brooke sent me to see how awesome you are. ❤
Thank you
Homemade Alfredo sauce for the win! Also I love smoked sausage or Kielbasa and sauerkraut! Also cut up smoked sausage, a couple cans of drained potatoes and 2-3 cans drained cut green beans in the slow cooker with about 1/2 c water. 4 hrs on low.
I’m a huge fan of sauerkraut even straight out of the jar
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner me too! And I live pickled beets!
You did so good!! It looked really tasty. Thank you for the video!
Thank you 😋
You done awesome!! I love your shirt too btw! It's beautiful!!!
Thank you so much!!
❤ I think you did great! I think I might add a small zucchini just for a pop of color and added texture but definitely not needed. Love that you made it from scratch and staying in budget Win-Win!!
I would love to see your kraut dogs and potato cakes PLEASE 👍
Looking forward to the crafting challenge ❤
Thank you and I’m looking forward to it as well
Great job. My Alfredo sauce is from a jar so at least it was homemade!! Looks really delicious too!
Thank you
Nice job!
Thanks!
You did a great job! Your meal was even cheaper than Brooke’s!!😮I’m going to start following you and am excited to try some of your crafts! I’m such a fan of Southern Frugal Momma!💕
Aww thank you. Brooke is the best.
The force is strong in this family lol. You done a fine job collaborating with Brook. I believe if you wanted to you and Brooke would be able to do anything you set your mind to. Keep up the good work and we will be waiting for the next.
You are too sweet thank you
Great job! You can also use parmesan rather than mozzarella in alfredo. It is good, too. 😊 -Kryste
I actually prefer Parmesan in mine but my husband isn’t the biggest fan lol
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner It is very sweet of you to care for your husband like that.
@@georgekessler3548 thank you
Came over from Brooke's channel. You did great! And goodness you ladies are beautiful inside & out! This was a fun challenge to watch! Can't wait to see Brooke crafting for your challenge! ❤❤
Aww thank you so much for the compliment and I can’t wait either
I loved seeing how giddy excited you were to challenge Brooke back. I can't wait to see it!!
Thank you
Hi Vicki , I’m from Brookes channel and I think you did a good job especially if you don’t like cooking or find joy in it ! If y’all like Parmesan cheese and Heavy Whipping cream you can make an authentic Alfredo sauce the same way you made your sauce using Heavy Whipping Crean 1 Pint and shredded Parmesan cheese 2 cups and the stick of butter and your sauce will be thicker and richer but I think your dish looked delicious and also the heavy whipping cream might have put you over your limit amount ! You have to remember Brooke has been doing this a very long time and she does an amazing job as you know ! Now we will see if she’s up to your challenge as well !! Great job Vicki snd Good luck Brooke !
Thank you
You actually don’t need that much need that cream and, she actually didn’t need that much cream for 8oz of cheese! If you know anything about making Alfredo sauce, it only takes a 1/3 cup of parm. and, 1/4 cup of butter and, a half cup of cream for 2 servings and, if you don’t want to use heavy cream, you can use half & half and, you’ll get that same thickness, another thing is Alfredo sauce usually mostly people will add nothing more than salt and pepper.A good protein in Alfredo Sauce abnd, if you don’t like peas you can add broccoli!
You did great. I’m like you I only cook because I have to and I normally buy what I want, but I try and incorporate a few of Brooke’s meals here and there. She blows me away with her talent! It appears you have talents of your own too! ❤ I see the Brooke resembles you. Loved the video and pat yourself on the back! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much
Great job! Next cold day I want to make some! It’s great comfort food!
Hope you enjoy
I love Alfredo pasta. Great job .
Me too!!
Your husband said he'd eat it again, I'd call that a win! Really liked your other idea too, I have sausage and sauerkraut I am making this week with side of fried potatoes. I'm going to check out your craft videos. You did good on this one.
Thank you
My family loves sausage, kraut and potatoes! I throw it in the instant pot after I sauté sausage it and and cook 5 min!
@@debragreen7272 that sounds amazing
Excellent. Looked lovely. And love how simple it was. I’m stealing the recipe. I live in the UK and we don’t have half and half but we have single cream which is basically thinned down cream and works just as well. So hopefully that’ll do. I’ll definitely be finding out, 😂🤣
Thank you
👌
you did awesome... looks yummy
Thank you 😋
Looks delicious Vickie! I'm not a cook either!! 😂 ya did a great job! 😊❤❤
Thanks so much
Vicky- you did a great job!!! I love your energy! You are such a sweetheart! Don't be so dang hard on yourself! You are right! $5 meals are getting tricky especially with the food prices on the rise!!! I love the craft challenge! C'mon Brooke! Show us what u working with 😂😘💜
Thank you so much for your kindness
Looks delicious
Thanks
Wonderful job
Thank you!
Both stores would definitely be best. I was shocked at both the high price of the pasta, and the low price of the cheese at Ingles. You might have even been able to budget some frozen broccoli at Walmart to your dish, as well. A nicely priced, filling, and delicious challenge met.
Thank you
Vickie!! That is not an epic fail! That’s busting 😂
Aww shucks thanks ma’am lol
Anybody who can make a good tasting meal without measuring is a cook to me!
Thank you
Awesome idea Vickie! Turned out looking yummy 😋
Thanks so much! 😊
It looks good 😊
Thank you 😋
Looks yummy
Thank you
That looks delicious! You did an amazing job!
Thank you
Great job! I’m not an expert frugal meal maker either so it’s really helpful seeing your idea. And it looks really yummy!
Thank you
You did great! Looks yummy!
Thanks
Looks yummy! I think you did a great job!
Thank you 😋
Great job Vickie! Comfort food at its finest.
Thank you
Your meal looks good. My kids would love this and they are picky.
Thank you
Awesome 🙌🙌 now do more of these..and let this channel grow ✨️
STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX
And yeah your niece southern frugal momma brought me here 🫶
Thank you and welcome
You did an awesome job Aunt Vickie. Screeching $5 can be a tough job and you knocked it out of the park. Great job!
Thanks so much!!
I’m impressed! It looked really good. You are a good sport, and a better cook than you think!
I appreciate that!
Great job. For a first go at it, you did well. A full belly is what counts.
Yes! Thank you!
Yum! Great job!
Thank you
Kraut, weenies and potato cakes is what i grew up on. I would love to see you make it. Your doing a great job!
Thank you
Great job! Looks yummy! 😊

You're doing a great job. I always buy jar Alfredo sauce. Yous looked scrumptious!!!
Thank you
Awesome job.
Thanks!
You did such a good job! Your dish looked so delicious; I don't eat meat so I liked yours so much!

Be thankful for the rain when you get some and you are doing great
