I've added a new Printing gadget which allows you to print JUST the recipe. At the bottom of each post, you'll see the little printing icon. I'm way excited about this little tool!
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...
(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...
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...
