Ranch Chicken Alfredo with Bacon

I’m going to be 100% brutally honest with you guys right now. Last year was tough, like take your breath away make you want to crawl into a whole and never come out tough. I work too much and I mean WAY too much. There’s rarely a day that goes by when I don’t work past supper time and then again later in the evening. It’s just TOO much and to be honest my husband is just as bad.

Even though my boys are getting older and are fully capable of making their own snacks and meals, I know the importance of connecting over meals. It’s that small amount of time when everything stops, we sit down and eat together as well as talk about the day or things coming up. It’s important and something I need to make sure is a priority in our home.

This is the year that we’re slowing down, stepping back from our work and making our family time more important.

I’m going to start with letting my kids each decide on a meal once a week, maybe it’s something we have all the time or maybe it’s something new like this Ranch Chicken Alfredo with Bacon Bake. They pick and I’ll make it – unless of course they want to help and we spend extra time in the kitchen together.

But, come on – they’re boys!

Seriously, how can you go wrong with all the amazing ingredients in this like Alfredo, Ranch, Bacon and of course Pasta.
