SIMPLE GARLIC AND BLACK PEPPER SAUCE
A simple pasta sauce using a few common ingredients, this is kind of like an Alfredo, but not nearly as rich. It's very light and flavorful and pretty low in fat, depending on what kind of milk you use. I made this up because I didn't have any butter for my kids' noodles, and dry noodles just won't do!

BLACK PEPPERCORN SAUCE
I am a big fan of Steak au Poivre but we rarely cook our steaks in a skillet so I never have the drippings to make the sauce. This is a recipe I found on the internet. I admit it is not as good as the real thing from scratch, but it is quite tasty.
