Creamy, cozy, and budget-friendly—this homemade Alfredo sauce is the ultimate weeknight dinner for busy families. You only need butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese (yes, that’s it!). It’s rich, comforting, and reheats beautifully for leftovers. Serve it with pasta, chicken, or steamed broccoli for a full meal everyone loves. 🧄 Basic Alfredo Sauce Recipe 2 tbsp butter 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional but delicious) 2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Salt + pepper to taste 1️⃣ Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. 2️⃣ Add garlic and cook 30–60 seconds. 3️⃣ Stir in heavy cream and simmer 5 min. 4️⃣ Lower heat and whisk in Parmesan until smooth. 5️⃣ Season with salt + pepper.

Love sharing these! Great way to stay on budget while grocery shopping by buying what’s in season. If it’s one of your favs (corn for us) buy extra and freeze for winter months 🥰

Hello, August! ☀️ There’s no better time to enjoy in-season summer produce at its freshest and most flavorful. From juicy tomatoes and sweet cantaloupe to crisp bell peppers, eggplant, blueberries, and more - August is overflowing with vibrant fruits and veggies! 🍅🍈🫑🍆🫐🌽

Shopping seasonal produce means better taste, peak nutrition, and more value at the store or farmers market. Whether you’re planning healthy back-to-school snacks, grilling up summer dinners, or packing fresh lunchbox ideas, August’s harvest has you covered.

Some weeks are perfectly planned in my meal planning journal… and then there are weeks like this. 😅 After a busy weekend of traveling, I’m in full throw-it-together meal mode – pulling from what’s in the fridge, repurposing leftovers, and making quick family dinners that still work with my weekly meal plan.

This is exactly why I created The Chaos-Free Kitchen System – because meal planning isn’t about making perfect Pinterest-worthy dinners every night. It’s about having a flexible meal planning system that works even when life gets busy.

✅ Cut down on last-minute grocery store runs
✅ Use what you already have to save money & reduce food waste
✅ Have backup weeknight dinner ideas ready when your original plan changes
✅ Spend less time stressing over “what’s for dinner?” and more time actually enjoying it

Whether you’re a busy mom, work long hours, or just hate that 5 pm dinner panic, The Chaos-Free Kitchen System gives you the tools to make meal planning simple, quick, and doable—even when you’re “winging it” midweek.

👉 Grab it now at thegleasonco.com and take the stress out of dinner for good.

Do you plan every dinner ahead of time, or are you more of a midweek “figure it out” person?
