Homemade Mac and Cheese

My soon to be 5 year old absolutely loves Mac and Cheese. Now, I usually buy the Craft stuff because it's easy to prepare, but I have not have any in the house for a couple of months. Well, he misses it. Tonight, he really wanted some, so I decided to make my own. I was very happy with the result ,so I decided to share how I made it.

Here then is my version of Mac and Cheese:

  1. Cook some pasta, drain and set aside.

  2. In the same pot, melt 1/4 cup of butter, add 2-3 tBS of flour and whisk together.

  3. Add 1/3-1/2 cup milk (or more depending on the amount of pasta you have)

  4. Mix well and add 1/2 mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar.

  5. Mix well until melted.

  6. Salt if desired

  7. Add pasta to the milk/cheese mixture.

  8. Mix in another 1/2 cup each of both cheese, as well as 1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese.


Et voila, you have it, Your own Mac and Cheese.

PS: I did not actually measure while I was making it, so you may have to adjust the amounts according to how cheesy and creamy you want it.

Favorite bread recipe

Here is a recipe to our favorite bread recipe: Portuguese Sweet Bread 1 cup of milk 1 egg beaten 2 tbsp margarine or butter 1/3 cup sugar 3/4 tsp salt 3 cups flour (I replace 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour) 2 1/2 tsp yeast Put ingredients in bread maker according to your machine's instruction. I use the dough setting. Then shape it the way you like it and let it rest for about 45 minutes. Bake at 350-375 for 30 minutes. Et voila. This last time, since I prefer smaller loaf, I doubled the recipe, cut the dough in half, baked one half and froze the other one.\ Enjoy!
