Macaroni and Cheese

Nancy sent this one in a while back....she was reading our macaroni & cheese recipes posted already. This one she writes:
This is the very best and the fastest, easiest mac and cheese recipe I've ever found. I don't remember where I got it...I know it was many years ago, but I'm betting you'll love the ease and creamy flavor or it.. I guarantee it!

This is very quick, easy and makes a very creamy dish with lots of flavor.

People often ask me why I started even messing with cooking. Well simply put it was due to spaghetti and macaroni and cheese. When my kids discovered I could not even make such a simple recipe..well that was that. This is a very easy macaroni & cheese recipe to go along with our other posts on Mac & Cheese.

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in.

If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher.

Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8). It's 30+ recipes come in Ringbound Hard Cover, so the pages can be turned easily while the book lays on a counter top. The font is large, catering to the child and p

How It All Began...

The idea of a book on cooking for single and busy parents honestly all began with an email a few years ago when someone was complaining to me that all the books they seem to see were junk books written by celebrities making much-ado-about-nothing. They went on to rant about the cook books that were being produced by Gourmet chefs and the like that had dishes which took a whole month's pay to create and needed like 10,000 pots - and they still never came out right. "Why the hell doesn't someone write a normal cook book that normal people can use to learn how to cook?" this person asked knowing that I had taught myself how to cook since I divorced. I had to. I had kids to feed! And oh boy, can kids eat! I shrugged and let it go. Actually the whole subject did not interest me at the time. I was in the middle of getting some fiction WIP's together and working on my non-fiction book at the time " Three Weeks In Jenin ". Writing a cook-book was the furthest t
