Baked Mac 'n Cheese aka Grown Up Mac 'n Cheese
It's a perfect Sunday to make comfort food. I was browsing through a blog and discovered this recipe. It's exactly like Ina Garten's recipe except for different cheese choices. If you don't know who Ina Garten is you need to start watching more of the Food Network channel. Barefoot Contessa? Is it ringing a bell? Here is the link to the recipe Grown Up Mac 'n Cheese. A blog called Cupcakes and Cashmere had this very recipe on it. The blogger suggested using horseradish cheddar and Gruyere cheese. This was such a great find!
If you really want to go all out you have to make Monkey Bread.
It will definitely put you into a food-coma.
1/2 cup of melted non-salted butter
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of crushed pecans
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
2 (16 ounce) cans of buttermilk biscuits
Preheat oven 375 degrees. Coat the inside of a bundt pan with cooking spray. Mix the sugars, cinnamon and pecans in a bowl. Separate the biscuits and cut each one into fours. Roll each one into a ball and coat in the sugar mixture. Place them into the bundt pan and add the melted butter after each layer. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the monkey break from the bundt pan soon after it has cooled because it will be hard to remove later. Enjoy!
The Break-Up is a great movie to watch with all this comfort food. Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston do a great job in depicting a relationship gone wrong. Vaughn's character (Gary) has some classic one-liners through out the film that keep you laughing through the emotional scenes.
"Gary: Is that how you want to play it Brooke? Because I can play it like that. I can play it like Lionel Richie, "All night long."
