Recipes: The Best Macaroni and Cheese Ever


I finally did it! I came up with the perfect cheese sauce for homemade Mac and Cheese.
Pay close attention because a great macaroni and cheese is not as easy as one would think. One of my favorite dishes is Mac and Cheese and I have struggled for years to get the recipe perfect. Hopefully I can impart all the tricks so you can enjoy the same great results and learn some new cooking words while you are at it.




Ingredient List:
2 Tbs Unsalted Butter
2 Tbs White Flour
1 1/2 Cup  nonfat milk warmed
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups grated pepper jack cheese (16 oz.)

6 cups cooked elbow macaroni

Crumbled bacon for garnish


Perfect sauces originate from a perfect Bachamel Sauce first. First you have to make a Roux, turn that into Bechamel Cream Sauce and then add cheese to make your perfectly Cheese Sauce to which you add your macaroni.

Roux is a combination of unsalted butter, cooked with flour until the flour itself is "cooked out" at which time you get a nutty aroma.

Here we go: Making the Roux- Heat 2 Tbs Butter with 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Add 2 Tbs white flour. Stir with a whisk on a medium low heat that allows some bubbling but not burning. If it turns dark brown or burns, toss it out and start over! No one wants to eat brown macaroni and cheese! The only brown color should be the tiny flecks of cayenne pepper. Cook stirring constantly until a nutty aroma appears. This should take about 5 minutes. Getting to the nutty aroma stage is a must otherwise you will taste the uncooked flour in your sauce.

Heat up 1 1/2 cup nonfat milk in the microwave for 1 minute. Heating up the milk is equally as important as making the Roux. I am not sure why this works so well but trust me IT IS IMPORTANT.

Slowly add warm milk to roux while stirring continuously over low-med heat. The Roux will expand as you add the milk to create a smooth silky sauce. Do not add more milk until the bit that you have added has been absorbed by the roux mixture. Once all the milk is added stir over low heat until desired thickness is achieved. Add additional non fat milk (warm of course) if you want a thinner sauce.

Add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper

Add 2 cups shredded cheese. I prefer Pepper Jack. But, you could use Colby and Jack or even cheddar. You can use what ever you like. Stir mixture until cheese is all melted.

Fold in cheese sauce to 6 cups cooked macaroni. Serve immediately with crumbled bacon on top or Transfer to a baking dish. Top with crispy fresh crumbled bacon and set aside. Bake at 350 for 30 just before serving.


Makes eight 1 Cup Servings.
Awesome!!!!!!

Mango Season Is Here! (Buy KENT Brand)


It is nearing the end of June which is our family's favorite time of year because it is MANGO SEASON! Our children love mangos and almost everyone who tastes this fruit thinks they have died and gone to heaven. There are many growers of mango in the world but our favorite is Kent. Why? Because the fruit is sweet and smooth with very little fiber strands.

How do you pick a good mango? First of all if you are lucky enough to have the Kent variety available to you, you pretty much can't go wrong. pick fruit with lots of red color. ( You don't want ones that are all green.) Make sure there are no bruises or brown spots.
They should be firm to the touch. If you are buying ripe mangos, make sure the fruit bounces back when you push on it or don't buy it.
If the fruit is not ripe yet set it in a dark cool corner wrapped in news paper for 3 days. Once ripen store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It won't be there that long...trust me!

Coming soon....pictures of the perfect mango.

Recipes: 2 Minute Microwave Corn on the Cob

Years ago my friend at work would bring everyone fresh corn on the cob, a stick of butter and a roll of wax paper. We would all gather in the break room shuck our corn rub some butter on it and roll it up in wax paper and twist the ends. We'd stick them in the microwave one by one and the result was unbelievable! Thanks Gwen for all the years of corn and shucking memories. I can't wait for this years crop to come in. This method of corn cooking was one I adopted at home because it was quick and easy and my kids loved it. The loved the aroma, they love the taste and they love those corn holders you stick in the ends of the cob so you can hold your corn easily.
Now that everyone is more health conscious, we don't use butter in our house for corn, we use butter spray and it is just as good especially if you get really sweet corn. Here is how to do it...

4 large corn on the cobs (shucked and rinsed)
butter spray
wax paper

Spray each cob with a generous amount of butter spray and roll the corn up in a piece of wax paper twisting the ends to secure the corn inside. Microwave each piece for 2 minutes on hi. (Only 90 sec for small pieces). Remove wax paper and put on corn holders and you are ready to eat. E Z !!!

Kitchen Knowledge: How To Boil The Perfect Egg

Whether you want a soft boiled or hard boiled egg, it is easy to mess up!
Too rubbery, cracked in the water, whites not cooked enough, sulfur smell, grey film on yolks. Follow these tips and you should end up with perfect soft and hard boiled eggs every time.

Tip 1: Bring refrigerated eggs to room temperature before dropping them in the hot boiling water. It is the difference in temperature that cracks them.

Tip 2: To destroy salmonella bacteria, egg must be cooked to o160 degrees F. This is the temperature at which an egg yolk sets. To avoid contracting salmonella, avoid eating undercooked egg whites or has a runny yolk.

Tip 3: If you are concerned about your egg being too old. Put it in a cup of fresh cold water if it lays still on it's side, it is still fresh. If it tilts or floats, it is going bad. As an egg loses freshness, the white will become runny and thin and the yolk will become flatter and break easily.

Tip 4: Directions for Soft Boiling verses Hard Boiling an egg.
First heat water to a simmer. Gently lower room temperature LARGE eggs into the water. Increase the temperature until the water begins to boil then reduce it to a simmer. Simmer your egg for 4 minutes for a soft boiled egg. Simmer your egg for 10 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Remove the egg from the simmering water and plunge it into a bowl of cold water. Peel immediately and let peeled egg cool in cold water for at least 5 minutes.

Tip 5: Avoid the grey black ring from forming around the yolk by not cooking it for longer than the 10 minutes.

RECIPES #8: GUACAMOLE HEAVEN

Time to prepare: 10min
Servings: 2
Eat immediately or it will brown.

There is nothing better than fresh Guacamole Salad to eat with chips, to spoon over Taco Salad, or served as a side on Mexican Dinner night.
Fast, easy and de-lish-ous!

How to pick an Avocado: I like the smaller Avocados because the inside taste meatier and not so watered down. If you are ready to make this dish today, pick the ones that are dark brownish-black. They should be soft to the touch but not so soft they are mushy inside. If your a couple of 3 days out from making this recipe, pick the Avocados that are brighter green and hard. Allow them to ripen on the counter for 1-2 days and then refrigerate til you are ready but don't keep them longer than a week. They will get mushy fast. $1 a piece is a pretty good price. 2 for a $1 is a bargain ... buy lots if you see this price.


1 Avocado (Halved and insides scooped out and cut into cubes)
1 Tbs cilantro chopped fine
1/3 to 1/2 jalapeno chopped fine
1/3 Concord Brand Guacamole mix pack - Spicy($.99) OPTIONAL
1/3 fresh lime juice
Sea Salt to taste
(optional if you like it chunky) 1 green onion chopped white part only
(optional if it is too spicy) 1 Tbs sour cream
Combine all ingredients and serve with Tostito's Multi grain Tortilla Chips
