Today I finally had the right ingredients and enough energy to make Macaroni and Cheese. After my last my post I started looking for a recipe like my grandmother's. I knew the basic ingredients she used: milk, cheese, noodles, and an egg. So I passed over any recipe that didn't use an egg. After finding quite a few I settled on The Pioneer Women Cooks recipe. Macaroni and Cheese I followed the recipe exactly and it looked like my grandmas... I even used the same baking dish. However, it did not taste like Grandma's. I had baked it for 20 minutes and it just wasn't right so back in the oven it went for another 20. This time it was more crunchy but still not perfect. It was too cheesy and the noodles near the edges weren't crunchy and brown. The egg did blend well but next time I'll use way less cheese. I know my grandma used Tillamook, which is the best cheese ever, so that wasn't the problem. So now the hunt begins...




Love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing! What a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteOkay, your baby picture is ridiculously cute. :)
ReplyDeleteFor those of you wondering why I'm in a stocking with a Santa hat it's because all babies in the hospital on Christmas were dressed in them. My parents saved the stocking and hat and dressed my sister in them too even though she was born a week after Christmas.
