During my cooking frenzy on Sunday I made a macaroni & cheese. I froze half of it for one of those nights when I don't feel like cooking. The other half I served on Wednesday:
... along with a spring mix salad. I'm very into salad these days, which is a good thing! I dressed it simply with lemon juice and oil, salt and pepper. I'm not sure what happened with the mac & cheese, but it wasn't as creamy as it usually is. I'm wondering if the pasta soaked up all the sauce since I didn't bake it until Wednesday and made it on Sunday. It still looked gorgeous fresh out of the oven:
... but the creaminess is why I love this recipe. I wonder how the other half in the freezer will turn out.
You know, I thought about you as I ate my first homemade mac and cheese this past Saturday. I didn't make it, but still, it was so cool to finally taste it like that. Freakin awesome. Gotta try my own for sure.
ReplyDeleteI imagine letting it sit probably detracted from the creaminess. Ah well. At least you already had dinner made. ;)
Mmmmm mac & cheese. I need to make some soon in this cold winter weather!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. I make homemade mac in cheese once a week. It is my all time favorite food that I can never ever ever get enough of!! I find that when I freeze mine, the noodles get mushier...so I have thought about not cooking the macaroni completely all the way so that it wasnt so mushy later...MMMMM, makes me want some mac in cheese:)
ReplyDeleteThat loos really tasty! I have never made homemade mac and cheese!
ReplyDeleteNow I am off to find a recipe!
