Thai Peanut Salsa Sauce | Creatively Domestic Salsa...in a Thai dish...whaaaaaa? I've seen recipes for Pad Thai with ketchup in it, but this one really threw me. But my curiosity started to take hold...and I had an almost excessive amount of salsa in my pantry, so I was intrigued but still skeptical. I got cooking, reserving the chicken and vegetables on the side, just in case the sauce was unappetizing. Overall, I was pretty pleased with the outcome of the dish. So yes, I guess, salsa does work in Thai food!

Mac and Cheese Recipe | Reluctant Gourmet Macaroni and Cheese And, no, I don’t mean the kind in the blue box. Or any kind that starts with powdered cheese or a squeeze packet of cheese. Not that there is anything wrong with Boxed Mac & Cheese from a blue box! My kids love it and have been eating it for years. I remember living on it in college and adding cream of mushroom soup or a can of tuna fish to make it special. Today, if you think that macaroni and cheese is just a kid’s dish, or just comfort food for those cold days of winter time, it might be better to think of it as pasta in a classic French sauce instead of plain old mac and cheese. Mornay Sauce Mornay sauce is a French sauce based on béchamel sauce, one of the 5 classic mother sauces with cheese stirred into it. This may all sound way too fancy and over the top, but it really isn’t difficult to prepare and the results are far better than what comes out of the box. Mix the Mornay sauce with any pasta shape you like, and voila: stove top macaroni and cheese! Ingredients

Loaded Baked Potato Soup Potatoes have been one of my favorites since I can remember. They were also my first “vegetable”. I also love how versatile potatoes are. You can really put whatever you want into your potatoes and they will, most likely, still be good. I know that it may not be cold where most of you are, unless you are in Colorado I hear it is still snowing!, but I would suggest turning up your AC and still making this soup because it is just too delicious not to.
