Homeroom's Classic Macaroni and Cheese Recipe {*style:<i> Adapted from Erin Wade and Allison Arevalo </i>*} Difficulty: Medium | Total Time: | Makes: 6 servings This recipe comes from Homeroom in Oakland, California, a restaurant that specializes in one thing: mac ‘n’ cheese. Panko is coarse Japanese-style breadcrumbs. Watch Erin and Allison make this macaroni and cheese recipe in this episode of You’re Doing It All Wrong: Macaroni and Cheese. For the béchamel: 4 cups (1 quart) whole milk 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons kosher salt To assemble: 1 pound dried elbow macaroni 8 ounces shredded 2-year aged sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 cups) 3 ounces grated Pecorino Romano cheese (about 1 cup) 2/3 cup panko (optional) Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it just comes to a simmer, then turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat.

Country Club Chicken It wasn’t until a friend of mine casually asked me what I had put into the chicken casserole that made it so creamy without making it greasy, that it dawned on me this is more an American than a European way of cooking. Using a concentrated soup as the basis of your casserole—turning it into a sauce like that—isn’t really common in Dutch cooking. Actually, it’s really uncommon. I love it, though. It’s tasty, easy and fast and you always get the same result. This is a very old recipe that a lot of you probably still know from old church or community cookbooks. For those of you who don’t… you need to make this one, stat. Ingredients: 1 pound spaghetti 4 chicken breasts 1 large onion 7 oz mushrooms 1 can concentrated cream of mushroom soup (1 Unox or 2 Campbell’s) 4 or 5 slices bacon 1/4 cup dry white wine 2/3 cup sharp cheddar 1 apple butter or oil salt & pepper Directions: Mince the onion. Peel and mince the apple (or wash it well). Cook the bacon and don’t clean out the pan. Add the soup.

Chicken Roll Ups I have a great, easy and delicious new recipe to share with you! One of my favorite things to do in my limited free time is to search food blogs and food websites. I kept seeing recipes similar to the one I'm going to share but I didn't like half of the ingredients, and the ones I did like, Chris didn't. So here's my version of Chicken Roll Ups! First, I boiled 2 chicken breasts. Meanwhile, I let a block of cream cheese thaw out. I mixed the cream cheese with 1 1/2 cups of cheddar and 1 cup of Monterey jack and some salt and pepper. Once the chicken was cooked, Chris shredded it for me with his hands of steel, and we mixed it into the cheese mixture. Then I put the mixture on big, buttery, flakey crescent rolls. And rolled them up. Finally, bake them at 350 for 20-25 minutes! Combine chicken, cheeses, salt and pepper. Be sure to check out my other great chicken recipes too! Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

CooKen-Casseroles | Recipes Presented by Ken Christopherson Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with Jalapeno Ranch Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with Jalapeno Ranch First off, thank you all for your iPhone app suggestions! So, do you remember that photo I tweeted last night (If you couldn’t tell, I’m totally loving the Instragram App)? Hubs and I are sort of obsessed with Kettle Brand potato chips. Well, I recently had a hankering for some Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips and walked over (yes, I basically live next door) to Publix only to find that they were <GASP> out of them! Well, I have to say, I am now glad they were out because it forced me to broaden my flavor horizon. Anyhow, if you like a little kick (which you KNOW hubs and I do), these are your new chip flavor… You’re welcome. So what does all of this have to do with dinner last night? Excellent decision, my friends. Now, what does one pair Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with??? This dish is not for the faint of heart. Enjoy!

Quick Chicken Salad This summer we spent a week on vacation with my parents. While there, I helped my mom whip up some chicken salad for lunch. We used canned chicken because it was quick and convenient. A vacation is suppose to be a vacation, we didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. Now, you can always cook chicken and use it in this recipe but like I said, we made it with canned chicken to make life easy.

Revolutionary Mac & Cheese I found this recipe long ago and can’t believe I’m just now making it. The neat thing about this recipe, is you simmer the noodles in the milk instead of using water then adding it at the end. It’s cheesy and the mustard gives it a nice depth of flavor. It still doesn’t top the blue box for me (I know, I know but I just can’t help that I love it so much) but it is a great homemade alternative. I also made it a bit lighter by using skim milk, reduced fat cheese, and whole wheat pasta. Feel free to go that route or use full fat ingredients for a super indulgent and decadent meal or side dish. Revolutionary Mac & CheeseSource: Cate’s World Kitchen adapted from White on Rice Ingredients: 2 cups dried pasta 2 1/2 cups skim milk** 1 cup loosely packed cheddar cheese, shredded by hand 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp dijon mustard, can omit and substitute nutmeg instead (for either, start with a little and add more to taste) 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional) Directions:

1 T olive oil
1 c chopped onion
1 (10 oz) pack frozen spinach, thawed
3 c cubed, cooked chicken breasts
1 (14 oz) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1 (8 oz) container Philadelphia chive & onion cream cheese
½ t salt, ½ t pepper
1½ c shredded mozzarella cheese by brooklynstoic Dec 29
