Creamy Macaroni and Cheese (w/ Ham)

Posted Sun, 01/03/2021 - 21:08 by Audrey

This is a delightfully easy and delicious rendition of a creamy (vice baked casserole style) macaroni and cheese. I will admit that it is reminiscent of boxed mac n' cheese, but it is one of the few hot dishes our toddler will share with us. And although I have included ham here, it is entirely optional (and frankly just a great way to use up leftover Christmas ham). A tweaked version of this Southern Living recipe.

Lao Crispy Rice Salad

Posted Wed, 05/21/2014 - 19:55 by Audrey

We first had this salad at a Thai/Lao restaurant in Virginia. It was freakin' awesome, and so we set making it at home. We combined three recipes and the result was quite good.

Meat Lasagna

Posted Fri, 11/16/2012 - 15:50 by Audrey

This recipe is a hybrid of Sharon's recipe and and a very intense online recipe. My guess is that both are derived from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.

Serves 6. Bakes in a 9x9 pan.

Meat sauce:

Cook and stir together until meat is brown and onion is tender:

  • 3 Italian sausages (approx 0.5 lbs, mixed between mild and spicy; can substitute ground beef for all or part)
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms

Posted Mon, 08/20/2012 - 19:37 by Audrey

Not really hearty enough for a meal, but a nice (non-vegetarian) pasta salad to bring to a party or have as a side dish. Courtsey of Bon Appetit, but slightly modified.

Ingredients

2 ounces thinly sliced pancetta (Italian bacon)
4 ounces orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar
1 1/2 cups 3/4" square diced pieces peeled cantaloupe
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
