10 Things I can't live without in my kitchen!

10 best ingredients in my kitchen
There is always some products that you use every time you cook and bake in your kitchen. Some gadgets that you cannot live without, some essential things that you absolutely adore.
Here are the best 10 ingredients, products that I use all the time and almost everyday. Without them, I would be nothing in a kitchen.

1. Sea salt. This is the only salt
that i use for cooking. Coarse and fine, both
2. Cinnamon.It goes well with almost every sweet treat.
3. Herbes de Provence. A french dried mix of herbs that is amazingly fragrant and versatile.
4. Extra virgin olive oil. That is the only oil that i use all the time.
5. Heavy cream. For finishing the soups, the sauces, the pastas, the salads.
6. Cheeses. All kinds. I use the leftover scraps of cheeses in soups, on a pizza. I never throw away cheese.
7. Vanilla Sugar.I make this by adding vanilly beans to granulated suger.
8. Parmesan cheese. As a garnish on salads, pastas, soups, as well as in cubes for an easy tapas.
9. Ice cream. It is always an indispensable to make a last minute dessert.
10. Butter.Butter.Butter! Do i have to say more ...

My Awesome Fettucine Alfredo

Here is the recipe for the Fettucine Alfredo. This is the reicipe that I have used without an "official" written recipe. I pretty much "dump it in and stir" but I will break it down for you and post it in basic recipe form.
Enjoy!!!
1 lb of Fettucine Noodles
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts, baked in the oven, chopped
1 stick of butter (not margerine)
2 C Half and Half
1 1/2 c or so of Parmesan cheese,(not dried from a can) fresh shaved from the deli
salt and fresh ground white pepper

Boil noodles with a pinch of salt as directed on plackage.While noodles are cooking.
Melt butter in sauce pan till bubbly. If you want to add minced garlic, add to the butter now and let cook for about one min. Wisk in half and half till it is warm then add in cheese slowly whisking till all of the cheese is combined. At first the cheese will be lumpy, keep whisking till the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste your sauce, then add salt and white pepper. Regular black pepper is ok too.
Add the chopped roasted chicken to the sauce till it is combined and hot.Drain noodles,place onto serving platter and top with sauce and chicken.sprinkle with more cheese and parsley.
Serve.
