a Picture a Day - Day Two

[spacemonkeyluvn]

Homemade baked mac & cheese. None of that fancy egg, flour, cheese sauce crap. Just boiled elbow noodles and cheddar layered like a lasagna. With a little milk poured on to keep it from burning and pepper sprinkled on top. Bake covered with foil at 425F for 45 minutes and then uncover for about 5 to really crisp the top cheese. Now, as far as I'm concerned, the ONLY way to eat baked mac & cheese is to top it with stewed tomatoes (Mexican style is my favorite). And for the record, this is like my favorite food ever. I'm a simple girl :)

This looks yummy!

I won't lie; It totally was. I even probably ate way more than I should have :)

we had mac and cheese too =D but it was just Kraft dinner style with hot dogs, nothing fanciful like yours ;)

I'm not sure I'd call mine fanciful, but thank you :) My sister loooooves the boxed kind, but I'm not a big fan so whenever I make it, it's baked/homemade for me.

<_____< Tomatoes?

Oh yes. I got it from my dad and I'm not sure what part of the family he learned it from, but in this family, mac & cheese is nothing without stewed tomatoes. I'm also a bit of a tomatoholic in general. Whenever my family makes pasta with homemade sauce, they've all learned to put the bowl of extra sauce by me. Hell, just give me sauce and some really good sourdough bread and I'm set.

Lol, I only recently learned to tolerate tomatoes.

In moderation.

Still a big NO on red sauce, though. XD

Well in that case, I understand your <_____< face LOL

Looks tasty!

I only wish I had more! The trouble with my family is that there are very rarely leftovers ;)

Yeah, the tastier food always seems to disappear the fastest.
