The Heartland Cafe (used to have two locations, one in Kensington and one in Bridgeland, but now only the Bridgeland one exists) makes REALLY good Mac and Cheese. They managed to put tomatoes in it and it wasn't sun dried tomatoes. So I've been on a mission to make a Mac & Cheese dish like it.I tried once when I was housesitting and it was a disaster. I tried to bake breadcrumbs on it but they were too big and the whole thing was pretty bad.
But I then found Martha Stewart's recipe. Yes, Martha Stewart.
Find it here.
It's quite good. I've made it several times (I'm not sure if R. is sick of it yet)
I've made it with cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes and both are good though grape/cherry are better.
Thicken with white flour. I find it great comfort food.
SO bad for you though. White pasta, cheese. I'm sure the tomatoes makes it a little more nutritious.
Now, the mission is to bake it, probably with breadcrumbs and I will feel satisfied in my quest to make Mac & Cheese.
I think.
I highly recommend MS recipe for "Crack&Cheese". There's a link on my blog, just look under "cheese". Really unhealthy, but ridiculously good. We should cook together one of these days, I've been contemplating making shepards pie, or a pierogie party...
ReplyDeleteOh dear. White Bread. So much butter. Endless amounts of cheese. I have principles Mandy :p
ReplyDeleteTotally! I'd go for the perogie party. That sounds awesome.
