Alfredo Sauce. Make a creamy Alfredo sauce by putting the entire pint of whipping cream, 1 stick of butter, and tons of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano into a sauce pot. Then, heat the sauce until the cheese is melted and it is creamy.

Salsa. Just give all the ingredients you want in your salsa a rough chop (think tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and maybe some jalapeƱo) and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Add some garlic, cilantro, and lime juice, give the food processor a few pulses, and your salsa is done!
