i don't think i'll ever grow out of mac and cheese. it's one of the girls' favorites, and i don't have a problem with that. :) i do like to think that this version has a wee bit more nutritional value, though.
a different kind of mac & cheese
4 Tbsp. butter
somewhat heaping wooden spoonful of flour (mine is a half/half mix of white bread and whole wheat)
around 1 1/4 cups milk (i use skim, but any will work)
about 1 1/2 cups grated cheese, any kind (this time was cheddar)
noodles (buy in bulk, if possible. otherwise in a cardboard box)
this time: tomatoes + peppers from the garden + basil, chopped (also good with steamed broccoli…)
as usual, this is a loose recipe. put the water on to boil for the noodles…and then boil according to package. meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat. stir in flour and then add milk. stir gently until it thickens…about maybe 10 minutes. remove from heat and stir in cheese. assemble, season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
love,
jane
