St. Benedict

Monday, July 11th, we celebrate the feast of St. Benedict.  We have some plans to celebrate this special day for our family.  Dinner will be homemade Fettuccine Alfredo - since St. Benedict was from Italy and the kids and the husband love Alfredo sauce.  What they don't realize is the sauce will be made from silken tofu, that's right -tofu! At our house we lighten up and healthify just about everything I make.  We also have some special Benedictine liqueur the grown-ups will mix with milk and add an orange slice and some cinnamon for a cocktail.  I'm not sure if we will drink that warm or not, haven't decided yet.  I'll post some pictures and the successful Alfredo recipe after we celebrate.
