Mac and Cheese Quest: Apple-Sausage Mac and Cheese

I never thought I would meet a mac and cheese that I didn’t love. I could probably say I didn’t like it that much. Sorry. I feel betrayed. All of that good gooey cheese, ritz crackers, apple -sausage, just begging to come together to make something great. Fail. Epic. First of all, this recipe came [...]

Fat Camp Friday #39: Brown Sugar Bacon Jalapenos

Bacon. Brown Sugar. Cream Cheese. Cheddar Cheese. Jalapenos. Yum. Start with some fresh jalapenos. If you want to cut down the spice, I hear the bigger they are, the less spicy. So start with the bigger ones and go from there. Make sure you take out the seeds and membranes. Unless you want it super [...]

Emeril’s Best Ever Mac ‘n’ Cheese Challenge {Mac and Cheese Quest}

  This recipe comes from a challenge that Emeril Lagasse conducted with ABC’s Good Morning America, and the winning recipe was from Laura Macek. I adjusted the recipe slightly because of what I had available, but the end result was culinary magic. The roasted garlic was understated, but it added a depth that was needed. [...]

A Classic Recipe {Mac & Cheese Quest}

A Classic Recipe {Mac & Cheese Quest}

What about just plain ol’ mac and cheeses? Forget all the bacon and the fancy cheese that none of us really like to spend money on. Just noodles and a nice and creamy cheese sauce. Eventually, we all “step outside of the box,” so to speak. No more Kraft box dinners – however great you [...]

Grown Up Mac and Cheese {Mac and Cheese Quest}

Grown Up Mac and Cheese {Mac and Cheese Quest}

So the quest continues. Not to say that the Gouda Mac and Cheese was a bust, far from it. But since it is a quest, I must keep going! I was going to go all classic on you guys for the next one, you know…family friendly, nothing but a cheddar cheese sauce and some noodles. [...]

Gouda Mac and Cheese {Mac and Cheese Quest}

Gouda Mac and Cheese {Mac and Cheese Quest}

Okay. I have a problem with mac and cheese. It is such a great side dish and sometimes it can even double as a meal in itself. But my problem is that it can be hit or miss sometimes. I like to try new recipes a lot- mainly because I don’t have a lot of [...]

Mac and Cheese Soup {Cookbook Challenge}

Mac and Cheese Soup {Cookbook Challenge}

For this cookbook challenge, I went to my Food Network Magazine. I can pass that off as a cookbook recipe right? I got my new issue in the mail yesterday and I had all of the ingredients on hand to make this, so it became dinner! This didn’t come from a chef in particular so [...]
