Dinner is served.

I cook so infrequently it deserves multiple blog posts.

For dinner I made rosemary macaroni and cheese with ham.
But I forgot the ham.
Oh and the rosemary.
and I don't like macaroni so I used twisty noodles. Hey at least I remembered the cheese.

So in typical hillary fashion it all didn't go quite according to plan. You see I have never made macaroni and cheese. No not just from scratch, ever. Nope never. Not even in college.

As I blogged earlier I went to the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker for all the ingredients. I didn't look at a recipe I just kinda winged it. 2 hours later dinner was served. (pot took 45 mins to boil and someone forgot to turn it on. This time it wasn't me)

I used Tinkyada brown rice vegetable spirals. They are fantastic the ingredients are brown rice, spinach and tomato and that's it. For cheese fresh romano and mozarella with some cheddar just cause it wasn't the right color. I use potato milk and crushed rice chex on top. It took so long I didn't wait for it to brown. Mister needed to eat so he could get to his homework. He made cheese potatoes to go with it. (He didn't know what I was making when he started them)


Yes I did put an apron on to take a photo and yes I did use my sparkly heart plates because they photograph nicely. I also dug out my vintage pyrex just because I knew I'd take a picture as well. I may or may not of been wearing 3.5 inch wedges at the time too. (hey gotta break them in somehow)
