Lane made a delicious dinner last night. I am so proud of him for experimenting. I try to tell him that recipes are guides for inspiration, and this time he got inspired. Lane did a homemade macaroni and cheese, but instead of regular cheddar, he used horseradish cheddar. But the madness didn't stop then - he sliced up bunches of grape tomatoes, broccoli florets and mixed in tons of spinach and put some bread crumbs up on top so it got nice and crispy.
Not only was this a delish dinner, he topped it all off by doing the dishes and giving me fresh strawberries (from Watsonville, CA) for dessert!

Ok... so this is Kristie Mac and Cheese secret, which is probably not secret, but oh well... add sour cream and paprika to the mix, and when its all said and done... super tasty.
sounds like lane is a natural with cooking! i'm sure having so much exposure to your great ideas helps!!
the mac and cheese recipe...oh wow. on the one occasion i prepared mac and cheese i did something similar: i mixed white cheddar, fontina and asiago cheeses; and then added the grape tomatoes and spinach. really close! i've never had horseradish cheddar, that sounds crazy good! especially for this recipe.
andro's been cooking for us about once a week. which is exactly one time per week more than i cook. haha. we've been working through the salmon and halibut fillets my parents sent last year. he came up with a really zippy glaze - a mixture of sesame oil, kirin (a sweet rice-based cooking wine), ginger and wasabi. it forms a delicious crust on the outside of the fish, and we use any leftovers for dipping rice/seaweed rolls in.
mmmmm. but now we're all out of alaskan fish! gah.
