Creamy Chicken Fettuccine

So I have little problem lately…

I’m a bit obsessed with going on a Mediterranean cruise.  In particular, one that starts in Barcelona, Spain goes along the French Riviera (Monte Carlo, anyone?), and around Italy stopping off at Rome, Naples, and Venice.  Oh yeah, and throw in a stop at one of the Greek Islands for funzies.  I know!  I’m ambitious, right?

It’s just that I’ve never been to Europe, and it is a life-long dream of mine.  And I think a cruise would be a great way to see so many places.  A lot of bang for your buck!

Now this would have to be a kid-free vacation, of course.  Number 1, I foresee this as a husband and wife kind of trip, and number 2, I can’t afford to take everyone!    It’s all really quite silly.  I mean…I have 4 kids.  At what point can I leave them for a 12 day cruise?  At least, that is what the guilty side of my brain is saying.  But the ambitious, brave, adventurous side tells me to make it happen, and they will be just fine.

I’ve actually been thinking about this for a year now.  Honestly, we are not ready to take this trip yet.  Not only do I need to save my pennies, but I also have to get more mentally prepared to leave them that long.  So in order to do so, I am really talking about, researching it, and hoping that it will become reality.

Do you guys ever do stuff like this?

Now did I mention, I have really bad motion-sickness?  Yeah…that’s the other problem in this grand scheme.  I’ve heard that going on big ships can really prevent that…Yikes!  I would hate to take the trip of a lifetime and be sick the entire time…

So while I dream of floating along the French Riviera and Italian Coast, I will make things like this Creamy Chicken Fettuccine.  It is one of my favorite dishes to make.  It was actually one of the first things I learned to make when I really started loving cooking.  I do not put a lot of the Mexican Velveeta to cut down on the richness a little.  It doesn’t need a lot.  A little will go a long way in this pasta dish.  It is super easy, and I hope you love it too!

    I do the same thing all the time. I think there always needs to be a trip in the future to plan. A cruise to Europe sounds wonderful, it’s a trip I’d love to take too. I love this chicken fettuccine recipe, I bet the Mexican Velveeta makes the sauce so creamy!

    I’ve never been to Europe either! I have been dying to go (mainly to try out all of the amazing food!), but am definitely not there yet either. 🙂 I love fettuccine, and this one looks amazing!

    I have to agree, that trip REALLY sounds like the trip of a lifetime! Like you though, I’m not sure I would be able to leave my son for 12 days but for a trip that amazing, I would have to! I say do it!! Haha! And for this pasta, we love pasta dishes like this and the fact that it’s super easy doesn’t hurt either! 🙂
