Does anyone in your family enjoy eating pasta? If so, you may want to add this recipe for 15-Minute Fettuccini Alfredo With Mushrooms And Capers to your recipe repertoire. As I mentioned when sharing my recipe for 15-Minute Chicken Teriyaki With Rice, I like being able to say I diced, shred, sauteed or baked multiple ingredients when preparing a meal for my family. But, on some days–okay, many days–cooking like that isn’t possible. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that my family and I enjoy eating out.

15-Minute Chicken Teriyaki With Rice
Moms or dads with children enrolled in activities likely spend way more time ordering meals through drive-thrus than they’d like to. The time between the end of their school day and the start time of afternoon or evening activities seems to magically evaporate on even the most planned-out days.

Why Fort Collins, Colorado, Is A Cultural Foodie’s Dream Town
What cities would you put on a list of great food towns in the United States? Chicago, Illinois? Nashville, Tennessee? Austin, Texas? While these cities are worthy of being included, after our family’s recent trip to Fort Collins, Colorado, we think this friendly, mid-sized college town should also be on it. In fact, thanks to the different cuisines (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, French, Greek, etc.), not to mention desserts (e.g., donuts, ice cream, cupcakes, etc.), that we ate during our time in Fort Collins, I think the town is a cultural foodie’s dream. I’d visited two other cities in Colorado years ago, but I had never been to Fort…
