Homemade

I made lasagna again last Sunday! This time I brought a batch over for my uncle & aunt, they like it! The one pictured below is the batch we kept for ourselves, since my mom likes cheese, we ended up going out to buy another pack of mozzarella cheese and used half of it for the top.


I bought whole grain + omega-3 lasanga noodles...and attempt to make this somewhat healthier. The brands of tomato items I've used probably weren't the best, since I thought the first one I made before tasted better (but my mom claims the sauce was better this time). This batch tasted a bit saltier to me...

Wednesday night I came home from work and made my first ever Mac 'N Cheese! I was researching recipes online, but there were just too many variations...so I decided to borrow the core concepts from some of those recipes, and added things I want. Maybe this should be called "Mac 'N Cheese a la Yam Yam"?


The finished product out of the oven! I had the vision of having crusty mac on the top of the dish, but the cheddar cheese I sprinkled crusted up, instead of the pasta. The white flakes are panko, borrowed from the Japanese Mac&Cheese dish I had at Swanky Bubbles in Phili last year.


A close-up of what was served. I've added bits of cut-up hotdogs and bacon which I've pan-fried beforehand while I was boiling the pasta. Next time I will use more milk and cheese and less flour because the flour made the end-product a bit too dry, and I also envisioned a creamier Mac 'N Cheese. Nonetheless, I liked it!
