Yesterday?! :D

I meant to post this yesterday, but I just didn't get around to it. I like to play with things and make meals out of them. Here is one that I have done many times with different meats to make a different variation of the same thing. I don't have an exact recipe to this b/c a lot of it I just eyeball.



Spiced up mac n cheese ... or beefy mac n cheese or porky mac n cheese if you please :)



1 lb sweet italian turkey sausage (remove from casings and brown)

half of small onion chopped

clove of garlic

can of sweet yellow and white corn

12 oz elbow mac or rotini or whatever you have

velvetta (halfish of a block) cubed

1/4 cup milk

2 tbsp butter



I brown the meat of your choice with the onion and garlic. I like the sweet italian sausage. Yesterday I used ground beef. Meanwhile boil water and cook your noodles to al dente. In a sauce pan add your butter, cheese and milk. Melt over low heat until you have a nice cheese sauce. When the meat is browned drain grease add corn to meat and continue to cook over low heat. When the noodles are done drain and add to meat mixture and top with cheese sauce. Mix well and serve. :D Not the fanciest meal on earth but my kiddos eat it up!!!



It was beautiful out yesterday afternoon. We played in the back yard. Our swing set is on its last leg of life. Soon we will need to invest in a new one. The one we have is from a cousin and their kids put it to good use. We've had it for 3 years and it has taken lots of wear. Our sandbox is in good shape and the kids have been having a blast in it lately. The garden has been worked through once. We have a lot more work to do before it'll be ready to plant things in it. :D Hope you enjoy the recipe. I'll try to get my pictures uploaded later.
