Sauces
Alfredo sauce is easy to make. There's a basic alfredo and a basic bechamel (white sauce) recipe below. For the alfredo I'd just add Parmesan. You can make it with regular milk too, and it is good with no cheese at all if you're out. You can add cheddar to make a cheese sauce.
Generally - 2 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp flour for the roux with 1 C milk/cream
There weren't many sauces in the recipe box. Here's some basic ones.
Chicken strip dipping sauce - yellow mustard and mayonnaise
Tartar sauce - mayonnaise and relish
Cranberry sauce - sack of cranberries, water, and sugar.
Cheese sauce - Same as the alfredo sauce, but add shredded cheese instead of parmesan cheese.
Salad dressing - olive oil, red or white wine vinegar, basil and oregano. Shake/stir immediately before serving.
For ribs - honey and garlic.
A basic alfredo sauce:
8 oz butter
2 C milk/heavy whipping cream/half n half
salt & pepper
1 1/2 C Parmesan cheese
garlic powder or nutmeg (optional)
Melt the butter over medium high heat. Add in the milk and stir vigorously to prevent scorching. Turn the heat to medium low. Add in the salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and any other spices if desired. Stir a few minutes and it is done.
I'm going to add a BBQ sauce recipe and a ham glaze recipe that are found as parts of other recipes to this page eventually.

red chile sauce for tamales - http://www.food.com/recipe/red-chili-sauce-to-be-used-with-traditional-tamales-15301
In the red chile sauce recipe do not add the soak water. That puts a foul bitter bottom of shoe sole taste in which will ruin the meal. So long as you skip the soak water I recommend the recipe.
white sauce - https://simplygloria.com/basic-cream-sauce/
A delicious white bechamel sauce. If you use heavy whipping cream it is literally finger licking good.
Lightly Cheddared Spinach Ricotta Mac And Cheese - https://food52.com/recipes/10495-lightly-cheddared-spinach-ricotta-mac-and-cheese
This one is delicious too, just like it says to make it, no changes. I had some old leftover ricotta cheese moldering away in the freezer from a lasagna, and this did it right. I just made the sauce to go with stuff I had on hand.
Homemade Cheddar Cheese Sauce - https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/278141/homemade-cheddar-cheese-sauce/
This recipe goes with the 2 + 2 + 1 ingredients, and then is a dash of salt and some shredded cheddar cheese.
FYI - Regular yellow mustard will sooth hot pepper burning hands. I gave it a try after foolishly chopping habeneros barehanded. After you rinse it off the burn will come back very slightly diminished, but while actually on your hands it sooths the burn.
