Slow again, and I thought I should post about the culinary creation from yesterday.

Okay, so I was craving Mac and Cheese and tried to make something similar. Turned out pretty good. So I'm gonna call this my McCheesy Creation.

Okay so I started out with cooking noodles. I used a whole wheat noodle, I believe they were of the Penne varitey, you know the ones that look like mini manicottis. Anyway, I cooked up what was probably two servings of these noodles which would come in totaling 6pts.

Then to create the cheesy goodness. This is were I could of used some help, but it worked out pretty good. Get the 2% milk shreaded cheddar cheese, use about 1/3 cup., which is like 2-3pt. 6 cubes of the laughing cow light swiss cheese - for 1 pt. 1 slice of the fat free kraft american cheese, this is 1 pt. Some fat free plus milk. I'm guessing I might of used 1/4 cup so that might be 1 pt. So that's 6 pts for the sauce.

Then to add some volume and nutrition to it. I microwaved a bag of chopped brocoli and cauliflower and threw that in with the cheese and noodles. Plus, cause I love onions and garlic. I sprinkled in garlic powder and chopped up an onion and threw that in with the cheese. Next time I do this cook onions first then throw cheese in and make the sauce. Then the noodles and veggies.

This creates like two servings at 6 pts. each. They are pretty heaping plates. Sprinkle with some Parmesan Cheese and it's pretty yummy.
