Mac & Cheese
So this is my version of mac & cheese, adapted from Smitten Kitchen’s adaptation of Martha Stewart’s. Which isn’t confusing at all. I’ve reduced the quantity (the original recipe serves an army, while this serves 4-6 people) and changed up the cheeses because, while I love Gruyère, it’s expensive. So think of this as budget-friendly mac & cheese. But...

you are what you eat
steph-honey: I’m a carnivore. Well, an omnivore. Really? I usually could care less what people choose to eat or not eat. I only have to be concerned when preparing a meal or picking a place to have dinner with people who have food allergies or who are on special diets, for whatever reason. People who choose to be vegetarians, or vegans, don’t particularly bother me. There are plenty of ways to...
