comfort

Today we were in need of some comfort. John Samuel wasn't feeling good and we missed our CBS class. Mckenzie wasn't happy that we had to miss. She had the cutest new outfit on and she was ready to go. I could tell she was upset that we had to miss class. I tried to talk her into knitting, or sewing or reading. Nothing worked...So she and I made some homemade Mac-n-Cheese to help bring a little bit of comfort. Nothing like gooey Mac-n-Cheese when your day doesn't go the way you thought it would. This is the best I've ever had. My mother-in-law agrees! The greatest thing about it is that it cooks in the crock pot. You've got to try it. You can get the recipe here.

While we're talking recipes look what I got in the mail!:

It's the new cookbook from Gooseberry Patch and one of my recipes is in it! How fun to see your name in print. It is a great cookbook....lots of really good homey foods. Nothing too frou-frou or over-the-top. Most of the ingredients you probably have on your pantry shelf. If you check it out, be sure to try the Scallped Potatoes and Ham!
(John Samuel was fine, by the way, he perked up as the day went on...of course if you ask him, he'll tell you he still doesn't feel well.)
