High Protein Mac-n-Cheese

February 17, 2025 by Dana Leave a Comment

Since about mid-December we’ve been focusing on eating more protein.  I wouldn’t say we’re dieting per say, at least it certainly doesn’t seem like we’re dieting when I eat the food that we’re eating.  But we’re being more intentional about eating more protein and less carbs.  Not “no” carbs, I don’t do well when things…

Roasted Veggie Mac ‘n Cheese

January 10, 2017 by Dana Leave a Comment

How do you get kids to eat their vegetables?  If you believe Hidden Valley, you just dip them in ranch.  But growing up my mom had an even better solution – smother them in cheese, from a block of processed American cheese.  She used to steam broccoli and carrots and then melt a little bit…

It would turn out that planning ahead makes things significantly easier, weird. My planning ahead paid off for this one, I think you are really going to…

Brisket Mac ‘n Cheese

September 13, 2014 by Dana 3 Comments

Mac ‘n cheese is one of the quintessential comfort foods and definitely tops my list.  Although I grew up eating a basic mac ‘n cheese, from my Aunt ‘Thann’s recipe (that we’ll post sometime soon), I’ve since discovered that her recipe is the perfect vehicle for experimenting and adding extra flavors.  Whether it’s changing up…
