Pintesting In The Kitchen - Creamy Mac And Cheese

It was one of those days where I barely eat and I'd planned to make a specific dish for my little lamb anyway but didn't really end up having time I wanted to do it.

Today's pintest comes via this pin and the info found here.

I was already in the kitchen making pork chops and rice for dinner

and figured if I was already in there I may as well make what I'd hoped to make earlier.

Because most of my time was spent making sure I constantly stir the noodles with milk there really aren't a lot of pictures for today's post.

I went ahead and used a box of Kraft mac and cheese for this one.

Added the milk, salt, and butter. Took a picture.

Then remembered to add the nutmeg.

The constant stirring wasn't too bad so don't let it deter you from making this dish.

The resulting mac and cheese was indeed super creamy

but there was a flavor I didn't care too much for. Too much nutmeg? The pin is still definitely still really worth making. I'll just do it a little differently next time.

Pintested Pasta Salad

The other day I had a nice picnic with my husbands grandmother. I brought over a little fried chicken, some pulled pork, some Jewish rye (yeah yeah I can just hear the jokes now about pulled pork with Jewish rye), and a pasta salad I saw at the last  minute. I only bought 1/4 pound and really wish I'd bought more because now I'm pretty obsessed with repeating the tastiness.

A few days later I saw this pin on Pintrest and couldn't wait to try it.

I made mine sans Feta, not because I have a problem with Feta but because I was just tired of being at the grocery store by the time I would have had to have gotten it. I also added olives because frankly olives are delicious.

The resulting pasta salad wasn't bad and looked similar to the picture.
