Creamy White Macaroni & Cheese

On Master Chef this guy made mac and cheese with a crust on top, which I've never had but thought it sounded good. It just so happened that one of my books had a recipe for this so I had to try it! I wasn't paying attention and bought regular cheddar instead of white cheddar, so I'd like to try it again with white. As well as I found a recipe that used potato chips instead of crackers for the crust, so that sounds good for the next time around. Josh really liked this, and I thought it tasted like a grilled cheese sandwich, and turned out really creamy:) Creamy White Mac & Cheese For the topping- 1/2 stick butter (4 T) 1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed For the macaroni & cheese- 1/2 lb dry elbow macaroni 1 cup pasta water 2 T butter 2 T all-purpose flour 3/4 c whole milk 3/4 c heavy cream Pinch of nutmeg 2 c white cheddar, shredded 4 oz. cream cheese Preheat oven to 400 degrees; rub inside of four 8 oz baking dishes (or one 2 qt. baking dish) with softened b...

Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake

(Picture and recipe from www.alexandracooks.com) We bought a big container of blueberries at Costco last week and had plenty left over from what I got them for. I expected there to be extra, but I also expected Jon and Koen to love having them to snack on. My second expectation didn't turn out. I learned Jon doesn't care for fresh blueberries as a snack and Koen apparently lost interest in them since the last time he had blueberries.  So I was grateful to come across this recipe that would allow me to use my extra blueberries and hopefully sweeten them up enough for my boys to enjoy. I pinned this recipe some time ago and it can be found  here .  We all very much enjoyed it. I didn't have buttermilk so I followed a commenters suggestion of making my own. I didn't have any lemons on hand, so I did put a little bit of lemon juice in there... but no one noticed. I'm sure the zest would be better and more noticeable. I also used regular table salt, but put in just a tad...

Homemade Tortillas

Oh my. I have never made tortillas before, but after these babies, I will NEVER buy flour tortillas again! Now someone send me a corn tortilla recipe and I will be set. These were kind of soft and chewy like Cafe Rio's. Great texture, delicious, and extremely simple to make. Go and make some now! Homemade Tortillas 2 1/2 cups flour 3/4 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp baking powder (i have no idea what this does, but hey, they turned out yummy) 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp shortening 3/4 - 1 cup hot water In the bowl of a heavy duty mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the shortening and combine until crumbly. With the mixer running, slowly add 3/4 cup hot water. Mix until the dough starts to come together, adding more water if necessary; the dough should be about the consistency of Play-Doh. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. While the pan is heating, divide the dough in to 8-10 balls. Roll out as thin as pos...
