With thanks to Jan…

.

A blogging friend shared her favorite mac and cheese recipe with me recently so you know I have to post about it.

Gathering all the ingredients, I was ready to make the magic happen.

This recipe was a bit more labor intensive than my old standby, but I was up to the task.

.

.

Rich and creamy doesn’t begin to describe the sauce.

.

.

Out of the oven, the freshly made garlic topping smelled wonderful.

.

.

I served this alongside twice baked pork chops and fresh green beans but honestly it was so decadently cheesy it could stand alone as a meal. My husband found the garlic topping a bit overpowering, but he’s not a lover of the pungent bulb and I am… so it stayed.

I’m looking forward to polishing off another bowl of this yummy leftover for lunch and while a lot of recipes lose their cheesy goodness the next day, I’m betting this one won’t.

Thanks again Jan!

It’s a winner.

Let’s play.

.

Just a simple question.

No hard thinking required.

.

.

What do you reach for when you’re feeling down?

When it’s dark and dreary outside?

When the world is simply too much… what’s on your plate?

For me, it’s homemade macaroni and cheese with a buttery crumb topping. The ooey, gooey packed with fat and carbs, no such thing as too much cheese kind. I may not be able to fit into my jeans after I eat it… but I’ll be smiling when I reach for my stretchy pants.

How about you.

What’s your go to comfort food?

.

Food porn and silliness.

.

There’s good news coming ‘round the bend.

.

.

It’s a raspberry type of thin mint without the mint. Sign me up!

We stopped into an uninteresting restaurant the other day because we were in an area we didn’t know. The atmosphere was lackluster, the meal uninspired… but the fresh seafood chowder with crab, shrimp and haddock? Perfection! I’d go back just for that.

.

.

And I have to admit the restroom sign made me grin.

.

.

I think that’s an advertising bridge too far.

.

.

Of course.

Because when I’m craving comfort food… kale, quinoa and soybean ice cream really hit the spot.

Not!
