A Recipe Recommendation

When my girls lived at home,

one of our favorite meals was macaroni and cheese.

Not the kind from the blue box,

But homemade.

I'd make a roux, add milk and plenty of cheddar cheese.

I was never allowed to deviate from the original recipe.

In the latest copy of Cooking Light there is a recipe

makeover for a Creamy, Light Mac and Cheese.

They squashed out half the calories and fats.

It was really cheesy and sneaks in some nutty

butternut squash.

It's a great replacement

for the rich cheddary original.  

I'd really recommend it.

The other wonderful recipe 

in the same issue was a layered brownie,

Salted Caramel Brownies.

Oh, my, they were delicious.

Just in case you need a little indulgence.

I love the taste of chocolate, a little salt and

the caramel,

a perfect trio.

If you need some dinner inspiration,

try these from Cooking Light, Sept, 2011.

It will help to make a perfect weekend.

Until Next Time-
