Amy I'm not really sure why I chose Mac n Cheese, it just sounded good. Plus I don't make it very often. My favorite recipe for it is from the Amy Sedaris book I Like You. I only make it on special occasions. It's delicious and unhealthy. I began to wonder if a slow cooker version would be worthwhile. I found a recipe that isn't too shabby. I did alter it slightly to make it a little more diabetic friendly. And the lack of availability of certain cheeses forced me to improvise a little. I found that a slow cooker version of mac n cheese isn't necessarily time saving. You still have to do a good portion of the work before dumping it into the crock. However, it saves one from having to turn on the oven. So this is a good one for warm weather. NikitaNikita had a "minor" mac n cheese mishap. :( It sounded like hers made it to the garbage can. Something we can all relate to GeorgiaLike Amy I like mac n cheese but don't make it very often. I almost made a cauliflower mac n cheese but decided to go full on pasta mac. No regrets. I don't really follow a recipe. Just cooked pasta and a simple cheese sauce. Well in my case this week 3 cheese sauce. It was so good I had 2 servings. Oh and I made my famous parmesan chicken. It was a good night in the Minghelli household JenMy husband was about to grill some hot dogs last weekend and asked if I could make mac and cheese, which normally takes about 15 minutes with the boxed variety. I started looking up some REAL mac and cheese recipes because of this challenge, only to discover that it takes way more time than I had available. And then I found it. Did you know you can make mac and cheese in an instant pot?!!!! Fast and delicious. Score! Mac n Cheese in my world falls under comfort food. How great that we have 1 dish made 3 different ways?
Until next week when the "secret" ingredient is pear. Amy, Nikita, Georgia and Jen
