I came across a great blog for recipes and kitchen tips. It is called Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures (www.lynnskitchenadventures.com)
She has some WONDERFUL recipes. I have searched back through her posts from the past year and found some great recipes. She also has some handy tips for the kitchen.

What is your recipe for mac and cheese? I have a ton of sour cream I need to use where it has been free at Harris Teeter.
Thanks!
Hi Kathy,
The mac and chz is so simple and it is yummy every time:
12oz elbow mac
3c shredded cheddar
3 lg eggs
1/2 cup sr crm
1 cup milk
4 T unsalted butter cut into small pieces
Boil the pasta, drain and toss w/ 2 cups of cheese until melted. In a bowlbeat the eggs w/ sr crm, add milk and butter and a little salt.
Mix everything together and pour into a casserole dish- cover with the remaining cup of cheese and bake for 35 min at 350. Let stand 15 min.
I sneak pureed cauliflower in Jessica Seinfeld style (or butternut squash is delicious too. Or you can slice tomatoes and place them on top. Then the dish is healthy 🙂
