More fun things to add...

So last post I mentioned the mac'n'cheese additions. Here's another one - Corn. Ya. You read that right. It adds a really sweet unexpected texture to the mac. I just use part of a can of regular unsweetened, unsalted corn.

The other day I was making a white sauce for some pasta. Starting with the basic roux (butter and flour) I added milk until I had the consistency I wanted and then added the sauteed mushrooms, onions, and garlic. I wanted some kind of bite that you get when you add really sharp cheese or parmesan. Not having much of either and wanting a creamier texture I added some feta cheese and cream cheese. It was so yummy! My husband really liked it too - and he isn't a big fan of feta. A+ for ingenuity that night!
