Since I had Monday off I decided I wanted to cook something fun. I went through a ton of Real Simple recipes I'd kept around until I found one I really wanted to try. And what was the winner you ask? Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower. Sounds delicious right? Yeah well it was. Here's what the magazine says it should look like:
And this is what it turned out to be:
Not too bad actually. It was pretty delicious I gotta say. It wasn't too hard to make, the cauliflower added some healthiness to it and some unexpected bites which was fun. I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves some cheesiness.
Matt and I also added some chicken to have on the side/mix in with it and it was a great addition.
So yeah basically this post is just all about how I only slightly burned a pan, made a delicious meal, and am obsessed with everything mac and cheese. So props to me, the chef in making! Wahoo!
Any cooking accomplishments for you lately?
happy thursday!

Mac and cheese makes everything right in the world :)
Hey, that's an idea. Maybe we need to get all the world leaders together for a good mac and cheese dinner ;)
Hey, where's the recipe??? :o)
mac and cheese, cauliflower, chicken... i'm hungry!!
Yeah mine never turn out the way it says in the magazine... except that time I made the pizza... SO good and SO good looking.
No two mac n cheese dishes taste the same. My mom layers the top of hers with sliced tomato. I put in a small amount of cubed potato which I cook with the macaroni before I put the dish together. We had it last night with bacon bits added. My kids would kill me if I added cauliflower because they are not big veg. fans!
Recipes NEVER turn out (visually) like the picture in the cookbook, but as long as it was tasty, it's all good ;)
It looks so good! But I don't know how I feel about cauliflower.
I want mac and cheese now!
This looks awesome!! I love how you made your mac and cheese healthier... I just made one with bacon. Haha :)
Sues
Yum. I don't like cauliflower so maybe I'd add some broccoli. I definitely love broccoli + chicken + cheesy pasta though! Is there a website link for the recipe perhaps? =)
