And my eyes opened! It was divine! Why didn’t I think of that? I could not get enough of it, and then I had to seek out the person who made it and their recipe, which was no easy feat:) What do people eat? How do they make it? At one of such parties, I tasted homemade mac’n’cheese. Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to be, right? As I became more and more used to the way of life in suburban USA, I found new products, went to different potluck parties and observed a lot. But as time progressed, I got used to it, and what’s more important, the kids loved it and it was sure quick to make on a night when everyone is trying to even breathe after a day at work and driving to practices.īut the beauty of life is that the longer you live, the more your learn. But the story is important because I learned about Kraft mac’n’cheese from her:) My first taste of the boxed quick fix-it-all dinner did not lie to me – it was really not good. She suggested mac’n’cheese, to which I responded: “What’s that?” No, she was not the one that introduced me to the recipe I am about to share with you. One day, maybe a year or two into my life here, I complained to my sister-in-law that I am tired and out of ideas of what to make for dinner.
I like pasta but we never had mac and cheese in Lithuania the way it is prepared here. When I first came to America I did not know what it was.
Oh, and made from ingredients that you already have in your house anyway!Įver heard of macaroni and cheese? Just kidding, of course you have! The criteria to follow here is that it has to be relatively quick (under 1 hour preferably), and not difficult to make.
As I was pondering what to include in this month’s blog posts about dinner recipes, I went through a dozen ideas.
