I've mentioned before that the desktop of my laptop looks like mass chaos because of the system I use for blogging. To the average person it probably just looks like scattered pictures, but to me there's a system. The first column is pictures that are already blogged and scheduled but haven't gone live yet. The next column is pictures I plan to blog in the coming week. Then there's pictures that are edited, waiting to be blogged, and lastly the scattered pictures of recipes I've made, edited, and keep putting off sharing for one reason or another. Typically it's because I just shared something similar, or I'm saving it for a special occasion, or it just gets buried. This is an example of a recipe getting buried and left behind for far too long. I made this almost 2 months ago and I am finally sharing it. Believe me, it's not because we didn't love it. We did! In fact I'm shocked I sat on this one so long. I L*O*V*E*D the addition of the tomato paste to the alfredo sauce. It was perfect! A little spicy, a little creamy, a whole lotta yummy.
