All I Can Afford is Macaroni & Cheese!!!!!

Think like Fancy Nancy…..life is in your imagination…make even the plainest meal into an extravagant banquet.

Make your $.50 box of macaroni and cheese, but pour it out of the sauce pan and into your prettiest baking dish and then add one of these dresser-uppers and bake at 350 until bubbly:

  • Make some toast, tear it up and buzz up in the blender, dump bread crumbs in a skillet and add a couple of pats of butter…..stir until toasted and loverly…sprinkle on top of your mac ‘n cheese. 
  • Stir in chunks of leftover ham and some frozen peas
  • Stir in sauteed onions and bell peppers from your garden and some cooked Italian sausage.  Jimmy Dean now has it in a roll like his pork sausage.  I really like it.  (I dislike sausage skin….YUCK!!!)
  • Layer steamed broccoli florets with your mac ‘n cheese then top with Ritz cracker crumbs

REFUSE TO GROW OLD……LIVE LIFE WITH ZING!!!!
