You didn't think I had forgotten about the rest of that Italian Sausage in my fridge, did you? Surely not! But I'll get to that in a minute. This afternoon I overwhelmed my dainty little house once again with several friends and all our
ankle-biters precious children. I made a classic child's lunch - hotdogs with
macaroni and cheese. Although, it's hardly fair to the cheese to call this dish macaroni and cheese. Really it should be cheese and macaroni. Because the 1/2 pound of macaroni was hardly a match for the pound of cheddar and added cup of cottage cheese. I was a bad friend in that I never warned my friends of the calories laden within this dish, but who am I kidding? These are friends who pull two toddlers in a bike trailer while controlling their pitbull on a leash while pregnant (you know how you are). Besides, against Deb's suggestion of sticking with the basic elbow macaroni, I used vegetable spiral pasta. See,
healthy.
And now part two of the Italian sausage. Tonight's dinner was similar to the sausage risotto - tomatoes and that flavorful addition of white wine - but added the fullness of mushrooms and was paired with pasta rather than rice. We ate and ate and ate until I realized it was all gone and I hadn't taken a single picture of it. Food blogging 101 - Take pictures before you eat. Lesson learned.
