This needs to be in my life this week.

toadandbuggie, I am making the mac and cheese tomorrow and I was wondering if you stay true to the recipe for the cheese, or have you used different varieties with good results? I don't have monteray jack and I don't want to buy any!

This will be my first time making it! But in my professional opinion I think any cheese would work fine. Let me know how it goes I'm not going to make it until Wed/Thurs. My plan was thrown off because I forgot to defrost the ground turkey for the greek burgers and made kebobs tonight instead.

I decided to do this too! I am making it tonight and didn't want to get any other ingredients either, so I'm going with havarti cheese, I'll report back!

All I have planned this week is:

Pork roast with potatoes and cabbage
Grilled chicken

I also have the things to make spaghetti but I'm avoiding it bc holy carbs (and I'm sorry but I just can't see the point of having spaghetti with a noodle alternative like squash). Sigh

[wimcgrath]

Ok, veggie Mac n cheese was delicious! Havarti cheese worked fine but it probably would be better with a stronger tasting cheese (according to DH), but cheese is cheese! It will be going in my recipe book

[krispy83]

M - Sweet & spicy Siracha glazed salmon, veggies and quinoa
T - Tacos
W - Chicken, broccoli and Caprese salad
Th - I'm working late, DH and DS will probably have leftover chicken
F - Crock Pot Enchilada casserole over quinoa

Meal planning fail - the chicken for Weds was supposed to be for tonight, but it cooks in the Crock Pot and I forgot to prep it last night. This morning, I was running late and didn't have a chance to prep it either. Taco Tuesday it is!

[seamonster]

It's a week of leftovers from the weekend here. Which isn't so bad because I don't have to cook.

M- Carne adovada, beans, calabacitas
T- focaccia pizza and salad
W- cheesy chicken, vegetable, and rice for me and either this or Monday's dinner for DH when he gets home from his run

The rest of the week is eating the New Mexican food or the chicken dish. We are going to brunch on Saturday.

toadandbuggie, Veggie mac and cheese was amazing! It's going in our rotation.
dreemkin, I use spaghetti squash as an alternative and I really like it! I thought I would feel cheated but its not bad.

+1 on avoiding spaghetti substitutes. I've done it but I prefer to either have the real thing or nada.

I made it too and it was amazing! I didn't have chicken stock though so I used 2 cups of milk instead and cheddar & Pepperjack cheese. I also skipped the mushrooms since I despise them.
Before it was finished. I let it simmer for a while and let the pasta get soft

[miniwheat]

Yummm! That was a recipe win for sure!
