so our friends steph and adam had a beautiful baby boy a few weeks ago, and our "tiny bunch", aka our small group, has coordinated shifts to bring over meals to the new parents. for some reason, i decided to sign us up as meal visit #1 - now, since this whole domestic cooking is new to me, this meant we would either set the bar really really low for those following or knock the ball out of the park with my new skills.
the official vote is still out, but i'm pretty proud of the 3.5 out of 5 rating brandt gave the chicken mac 'n cheese last night. i even spiced up rachel ray's recipe by adding my own seasoned chicken - and i have to say, the homemade cheese for the noods was pretty scrumptious. im thinking of applying the asiago, sharp cheddar and parm mix to a beer cheese/pretzel combo down the road. but what's up with homemade mac 'n cheese turning into just cheesy noodles? something about the kraft and velveeta style has me confused on what is really is supposed to taste and look like.
i couldn't find my recipe on RR's website to share, but it looks like there are tons of options for those of you working to become quite the little cook like me. http://www.rachaelray.com/article.php?article_id=95.
of course i took a photo of the finished piece last night, topped ever so beautifully with bread crumbs - but as usual, left for the office in a hurry this morning and walked out without a camera cord to upload. i'll make sure to post it tomorrow (i know, the post isn't complete without it and you a dying to see it). id also like to add it in hopes my husband stumbles along the post and notices just how unflattering the photography is from my old camera and is inspired to buy me a new Canon SLR for my birthday - which is just around the corner you know...
