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...

Grapefruit Tiramisu

By jeff and alli -
 This ended up being a hit with the family and the missionaries.  I want to tweak the cocoa powder.  Sometimes you would kind of breath it in, which wasn't great, but the flavor of it was fine. I'm going to decrease the cocoa powder by a tad and see how that goes. I also want to try using coconut on top instead of cocoa powder.  Ingredients : 3 large eggs, separated (just using the yolks - save whites for later) 1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons mascarpone 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste 2 grapefruits, finely grated zest and 1 - 1.5 cups juice 1.5 cups of whipping cream 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 package of ladyfinger cookies (we used 24.  some people used 16, some 30) 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting Directions : 1. Have a 1 quart or larger dish at the ready. 2. Put the egg yolks and 1/3 cups sugar into the top of a double boiler. Whisk over medium high heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is 165 degrees. Remove from...
