Found Mac and Cheese

I love mac and cheese. I found this recipe years ago (or something like it in a cookbook for girlfriends). It’s a great way to use up cheese bits.

What you need:

Noodles (doesn’t fucking matter, however I recommend smaller shapes like elbow or rigatoni)

Cheese (look for the small pieces leftover from parties, those in the back of the fridge that you’re not sure you should eat or what they are other than some kind of cheese)

Eggs 

Panko

Spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, salt, Franks Hot Sauce, you know, whatever you feel like.

What to do:

Heat the oven to 3500F.

Boil the noodles according to the package.

Shred the cheese.

Drain the noodles and immediately mix in most of the cheese. (Save some for the top)

Dump that into a casserole dish (you should probably grease it first)!

Mix eggs and spices together and dump on top of cheesy noodles. 

Mix panko and last bit of cheese…spread that on top of cheesy noodles.

Bake until the top browns and the eggs are cooked. 

Enjoy with hot sauce or veggies. 

I made this at my MIL’s using not only found cheese, but found noodles. Dried noodles don’t really go bad. They might stick to the bottom of the pot more but you know, scraping takes care of that. It was a success for the adults but the edges got a bit too crusty for the kids. So keep an eye on it!

The kids think this is a treat for dinner and usually eat it up (unless it has too many crunchy parts). But then again they would eat mac and cheese from almost any source all day long. 

I fucking hate salad

Yesterday I fought with my husband over everything and nothing. today I laid in bed hoping he would miss me… he did but also still took care of the kids. Then I got up and gave my side of the anger story… then he was upset… then we did our own thing and then we talked and we’re fine… Dinner tonight was salad. I fucking hate salad… so much chopping… at least the kids ate it.. mostly… along with pizza rolls… cause I didn’t want to cook.

Recipe:

leaves of something

veggies you like (cut the fuckers up)

leftover meat (fish, chicken, steak if you have it, preferable less than a week old)

salad dressing your family tolerates (for us this involves 3 fucking types, another reason I hate salad)

pizza rolls – follow the fucking directions on the box (if you want to feel less awful get Annie’s or some other organic kind of junk food)
