What's Cooking with Costco? Vol 1: Grilled Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo


Bonus post for this week:

This is not a meal-to-go like an earlier post. You actually have to turn on the stove and get some pots and pans out, but it is still simple enough after a busy day. 




 


What you need:

  • fettuccine
  • alfredo sauce
  • grilled chicken
  • mushrooms (optional)


You can get all these items at other places, not just at Costco, but the bulk pricing and selections at Costco makes this a great meal at a decent price to feed a family. (I'm not affiliated with Costco, other than I shop there a lot, obviously.)


Follow the directions on the fettuccine package. Costco has these in the refrigerated section, but the pantry fettuccine will do fine.


The mushrooms are optional. For this meal, I used a can of mushrooms, but either fresh or canned mushrooms will work depending on what you have and what you can find. Heat the mushrooms with a jar of Rao’s Alfredo sauce in the pan. I used one jar per package. 


The Costco size for both the fresh fettuccine as shown in the image above and the Alfredo sauce comes in two each, meaning 2 packages of fettuccine in each purchase and 2 jars of Alfredo sauce in each purchase. You could use one package of fettuccine with one jar of Alfredo sauce and save the other ones for later, or you can cook it all. It all just depends on how many people you're feeding.


Combine the cooked fettuccine with the mushroom and Alfredo sauce in the pan. Heat the grilled chicken in the microwave as directed on the package. Take the chicken off the wood skewers and serve it with the fettuccine Alfredo.

Of all the -isms ...

  Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage.  Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels. At the same time, the benefits of some families just keep on giving, bootstraps not needed at all, just look for the red carpet treatment. When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them. Some of these people aren’t qualified for the job, and yet they have been promoted countless times to the top just like that. Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

Total Solar Eclipse 2024

  Last month we were able to watch the total solar eclipse. We originally had other plans to see it elsewhere, but the eclipse madness was no joke. Everything and everywhere was fully booked very far in advance. At the end of the day, as long as you’re in the path of totality, you’re good to go along with your protective glasses. I didn’t have high hopes for it, as leading up to the day, the forecast was not good. Several weathermen mentioned that they wished they were wrong. It turned out that they were wrong, and we were able to see the total solar eclipse. The weathermen themselves were glad that they were wrong as well.  It was everything that I had hoped for and then some. It was simply awesome, and I can see why people chase after it all over the world. It was a once in a lifetime event for me, and I’m so glad that I was able to see it and share this moment with my family.
