'wilting' around 3 in the afternoon and don't get much done after that time. I wish I had this level of get up and go every day!
I'm a southern gal. I am not sure that this is a southern thing or not but I just will not eat that 'sloppy' mac and cheese made on the stovetop. I eat mine baked like my Mama used to make.This morning I found a small portion of elbow macaroni in a mason jar in the pantry. And, I knew I had cheese in the fridge. Only thing, the cheese was Colby (that's my favorite) and it's milder so my mac and cheese didn't have as much punch as if I'd had sharp cheese. But, I added some chopped onion and a heavy dash of paprika to my egg/milk mixture before I mixed it all together to bake.
Sure, I had me some soon as it cooled enough to eat.
I made me some jello, too. Now, I haven't made jello in a coon's age but in my pantry search this morning I found one box of strawberry. Just happened to have a banana that was eatable but too ripe for my taste in a sandwich. I sliced that up, added it to the jello, stirred in some unflavored greek yogurt and it turned out good.
Yes, I know!!! There are little chunks of yogurt that didn't get mixed into the jello correctly but it's just me eating it so I really didn't care. When you live alone, you aren't out to impress anyone but yourself and if what you do is fine with you then that's a good impression!
Don't you agree?
Good for you! That mac and cheese looks very good. I bet the jello was too. My husband just asked me to make jello again - haven't made it for some time!
ReplyDeleteFunny I was just thinking about jello -
ReplyDeleteI think the yoghurt showing in the jello looks good, especially with the bananas.
ReplyDeleteThat's three new things to me; eggs in macaroni cheese (I use a cheese sauce, add it to cooked macaroni, tip into baking dish, top with breadcrumbs and grate cheese and bake it). Add adding banana and Greek yoghurt to a jelly (UK!)
ReplyDeleteYour mac n cheese looks so good. I have some jello in my pantry to use up too, but my husband wants me to go buy a can of fruit cocktail to make it the way we had it as kids. With marshmallows on top of course.
ReplyDeleteYum on both. I love the idea of thinking what do I want? Then cooking it and eating it. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI like garlic in my mac and cheese... and fresh strawberries and whipped cream in my strawberry jello (although I haven't made this in ages).
ReplyDeleteBoth of them look good to me, and thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good! Looks like you found some great things in the back of your pantry!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy and have lots of deliciousness going on in your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree and even though this is a 2-person household, there are times when we do meals separately based on likes/dislikes, etc. I have a small amount of elbow pasta and a cut onion and cheese, so now you have me thinking about mac & cheese, Latane, thanks😋
ReplyDeleteYay for you to get a spurt of energy! Those don't come around too often for me! Your mac and cheese recipe sounds so good and so much better than stove top! It looks tempting! That is the joy of living alone....not one to judge how anything looks! Wishing you a blessed year ahead!
ReplyDeleteSend me some of that energy! I have a long "to-do" list which includes de-cluttering and lots of Spring cleaning! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
