Btw, Ron do you still have that mac and cheese recipe? I know you had shared it at one point a while ago and I bookmarked it but I am on a different phone atm so can’t access my bookmarks. I think if I logged into Google I could but I am not sure if they are on Google. I am at the grocery store so would like to know if I need anything else for the recipe/sauce before I leave. We have a lot of cheese and butter at home but I am not entirely sure what is in the sauce. I have tried Googling various recipes but the trouble is I do not know which ones are good or not. I would prefer one that somebody has experience with. Thinking of making it with the shredded triple cheddar blend we have (Vermont White, Sharp, and regular) and/or possibly a little bit of mozzarella but the mozzarella might ruin it. Not even sure the triple cheddar will be good. Could pick up some other cheeses. We are making it with ham if that makes a difference for recipe suggestions. I think you had one of your own that you came up with, right? Or maybe that was just a white sauce and not mac and cheese? Or even if anyone has tried any of the ones on Google. I think my mom said she had a book that has one but figured I would ask here first. Figure you guys all have a lot more cooking experience than I do and might have some suggestions. But I know that it is also Christmas Eve so if you guys are too busy to find/post it or with family or whatever, that’s fine and totally understandable. I can try the Google ones but figured I would ask first. Hope everyone has a good Christmas!

They fidget and have very strong back legs!

They scratch more than cats and can go deeper LOL

Oh yes, I remember those strong back legs! Good for jumping, not so good for the human lol

Good luck!

Momiji loves kale and never seems to get tired of it. Hi knows that he gets a bit in the morning each day and is very excited.

Awwww that’s so cute!!

I personally like to make a bechamel sauce and add a variety of cheeses.

@N F C & @ronott1 can you see the possibilities?

Or sometimes he likes something but then by the time you get near the end of the bag, he no longer likes it anymore. He is very picky. Especially now that he is older and sicker.

The brand of canned food the cats are eating now comes in 15 flavors and I buy all of them. And the dry food comes in 2 flavors, I buy both of those. That way they don't eat the same thing day after day after day.

Butter, Flour, Milk, Cheese, Salt and Pepper. And pasta of course.

KD the triple cheddar is a good base. I'd like a smoked Gouda and maybe a smoked cheddar to go with it and a pepper jack would add a bit of a kick. It's all about what cheeses you like to eat together.

I like to use a variety of cheeses, pretty much whatever I have on hand goes in. Cooked, crumbled bacon is a nice addition.

 

[sourland]

Easy on the bacon, please. We don't want to overpower the cheeses.

i make macaroni and cheese the way mil made it, she made hers with her home canned tomato's in it. cook the macaroni, drain and rinse, mix sharp cheddar into the macaroni, (as much cheese as you like )add tomato's to your taste, cover with cheddar cheese, bake at 350* til cheese is browned, eat. i had always eaten plain ole mac and cheese growing up but when she introduced me to this , never went back to plain, something about the tomato's in it.

Well, Debby, how did you like the response? You drove the capability.
