Morgan's menu this week, plus recipes

I don't know if this is helpful to anyone, but I thought I would post the dinners I am planning for this week. I know I always like to see what other people are doing. I do usually make a plan for specific nights, but sometimes it ends up getting changed depending on what we are in the mood for, or what we have time for. So here are 5 meals in no particular order:

Less Fat Fettucine Alfredo (recipe from Heather Mason. Hope you don't mind me sharing Heather!)
1 Tbs butter

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups 1% milk
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for topping) **I use the store-bought Kraft stuff and it works just fine
2 Tbs 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups hot cooked fettucine or other pasta (8 ounces uncooked pasta)
