While I've announced quite a few "resolutions" for the month, there are certainly been some unofficial ones as well. One of those is trying new recipes. Now, not just any new recipes, but magazine recipes. I have been cutting out enticing recipes for at least a year, and then, nothing. I finally have gotten myself to add them to my recipe binder, and my goal is to actually use this as a source for dinner ideas.
This recipe was my first: a lower calorie baked mac-and-cheese.
Verdict? Looked amazing, tasted a little dry. Granted, I used whole wheat pasta, which perhaps made it taste a little too "healthy", but this was with "accidently" adding twice as much parmesean as needed.
Still, it made for a romantic meal to dress up an otherwise mundane Sunday night :).
P.S. - the pasta was greatly improved by adding some alfredo sauce the following night. Probably not what the recipe creaters had in common, but quite yummy, and much creamier.
It is always fun trying new recipes. Good for you! I always like thumbing through cooking magazines for inspiration, and every so often you will find something that is awesome. Please let us know if you stumble upon something really good! :)
