cream cheese spread
Take a couple of blocks of cream cheese and soften by mashing them up:
Season to taste with Greek Seasoning Salt. Add a little bit of chopped green onion and chopped black olives. Serve on plain crackers.
Got an cheese and cream of whatever soup
when you first said rice I was thinking white, but this may work anyway.
A few of us posted not too long ago that we have similar recipes with slight variations for a mac and cheese/tuna recipe -- simple, you just make the boxed macaroni and cheese as usual and add the cream of (I use chicken, could be celery, mushroom, whatever) and flake the tuna with a fork and add . . . could work with rice also, you just wouldn't have that lovely powdered cheese mix and would have to make your own cheese sauce.
I have also made tuna patties before with canned tuna (like salmon patties). I like the salmon patties better, but the tuna patties were certainly edible (anything fried is pretty much edible, right?), and have the rice as a side dish.
Chicken/cream cheese dip. One 10 ounce can
chicken, two 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese and one package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix all mixed up together. Served with crackers. Absolutely delicious. I had this at a party the other night and it was wonderful. 
sharp cheddar cheese, some minced onions, maybe some sour cream
if you like with the white sauce. Also, I use Velveeta cheese, about half the large brick. Don't forget to put salt in the water while cooking the macaroni too.
we add some monterey jack, cream cheese to velveeta and some sharp cheddar...nm

We usually have just cheese or cheese spread & crackers out (nm)

yam cream is a natural progesterone cream--sm
I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.

When I was a kid we didn't have scheduled play dates,
we simply walked out the front door, ambled down the street, and looked for someone to play with.
Haha - it wasn't always human friends I was looking for, either! One neighbor always seemed to have litters of kittens. I'd knock on the door and say, 'Can the kittens come out to play?', and I'd sit in the bushes for hours with the kittens. Another neighbor had a great dane that no one in the family really had much time for. I'd knock on the door and ask if I could walk him, and they happily handed over the dog (that stool almost up to my neck, he was so big!) and his leash. I'd walk him for MILES.
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
mac 'n cheese
Here's the one I use...it's yummy...enjoy!
1 box, about 8 ounces or so, of elbow mac noodles
shredded cheese (I use the 4 cheese blend usually) about 2 cups...
1 small can evaporated milk
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 egg
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles until mostly done, but not all the way;drain. Mix in a large bowl the cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, and egg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the noodles in with the soup mixture (I usually cool my noodles a bit before adding by running under cool water for a minute or 2). Don't add too many noodles or the mac 'n cheese will be dry.
Spray a round, deep casserole dish with nonstick spray. Add a layer of noodle mix, top with cheese; repeat with another layer of noodle mix and top with remaining cheese. Don't skimp on the cheese either! Add about a cup to each layer, depending on how much you like cheese (we love it)! Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
It's seriously delicious. It's the only recipe my whole family uses for mac 'n cheese!
mac/cheese
Try adding some dry mustard. It was in one recipe I had and it really helped.
Cheese
any and all kinds
Mac&Cheese
LOL, I made homemade mac and cheese a couple times and the kids didn't like it! But they love the Kraft. My 12 yo niece recently told us that when she was little she though Grandma made the best mac and cheese in the world. Yep, it was Kraft in the box. I wouldn't sweat it. In our family we just always make mac and cheese for the little kids and they're happy.
mac & cheese
Cook 1 lb macaroni according to directions on box and put in crock pot.
Add one stick margarine.
Add 1/2 lb white American cheese.
Add 1/2 lb Cooper Sharp cheese.
Add 1 quart milk.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Warm in crock pot at least 4 hours (2 on high and then 2 on low).
Unfortunately . . . Mac and Cheese out of a box :)
I can't cook. I had never even cooked before (except warmed up left overs in the microwave). I cooked mac and cheese out of the box, but left the burner on (high) after getting rid of the water and half the noodles stuck to the bottom of the pan. It was a disaster. Needless to say . . . my husband cooks most the time now (though I have learned how to cook in the meantime).
mac n cheese
The best frozen mac and cheese is from Trader Joe's. It's absolutely decadent! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's frozen. Yum.

Ice cream!

tell her to get mac&cheese or another side--sm
she doesn't HAVE to eat mashed potatoes. Pizza gets tiring all the time. She may be nice, but she doesn't sound very flexible. Enjoy whatever you decide on. have fun!
...instead as I had no cheese, though. Pumpkin it is! :) nm

Macaroni and cheese sm
I enjoy a really good mac and cheese but have to give it up due to high cholesterol, etc. Once in awhile I cheat and have plain mac with butter, salt and pepper (don't tell my cardiologist). There is a restaurant chain in the NE area called Hard Rock Cafe. I don't know what they put in it, it's very rich, but sooo good. I use Annie's for my grandkids and they love it. I prefer the good old rich cheesy kind with a nice browned breadcrust topping. Oh gosh, I feel pregnant with craving right now! Too old for that!
or may be mac and cheese. I make my own
using elbow macaroni, velveeta cheese, stewed tomatoes and bread crumbs on top with a dot of butter.
Cook the mac first, melt the cheese in macaroni, add tomatoes, put bread crumbs on top and then bake.
Usually have biscuits or rolls with that and a salad.
My SIL swears by mac & cheese
YUCK -- but my kids like noodles -- the egg noodles in turkey broth. They also like the turkey drumsticks and the wishbone. They love Stove Top stuffing, but not homemade stuffing. They don't eat much of the mashed potatos or gravy. They love deviled eggs. Are my kids weird?
One year, I thought I'd make candied sweet potatoes for the kids, thinking they'd like ooey-gooey, make-my-teeth-hurt sweet, but turns out I was wrong. They didn't touch it.
Truth be told, most kids don't eat much on holidays. Too much excitement I think. Try to make sure they have a good breakfast, then let them pick what they want to eat. I usually ask my kids to try 1 thing, just a small amount. When they come back later, I give them a turkey sandwich (if they like turkey) or PB&J. Don't stress yourself out over what the kids are eating. They'll be fine. It's only 1 day.
Need to know about cheese buying
I do not buy cheese but have 2 people on my list for presents this year that I would love to get some crackers and cheeses for. Do most cheese need refrigeration? I would think some would last longer than others, right? I can make this a 1 stop shop at Trader's Joe so need some ideas, anyone?
Never had mac and cheese pizza, but
I have my grandmother's recipe that we grew up on of baked mac and cheese. So much better than the box varieties.
Off topic - mac and cheese
I must be living under a rock, but I was watching the Food Network, and they were talking about restaurants that serve mac and cheese pizza. I might have to try it, it sounded pretty good, but I can't think of anything more fattening - unless you add bacon to it.
I second the motion on the mac & cheese!
And the 2nd or 3rd day, I like to take a slab of it and brown it in butter in the frying pan. Great for any meal of the day, even breakfast!
Hydrocortizone cream for the eye..sm
lids work. My doctor recommended it. Not sure what to tell you about the face.
TLR- ice cream treat
And by the way thanks to some of the ones that don't mind reading them!!
I decided to take a much deserved break a lot earlier than usual from the craziness going on today and plus it was so beautiful out I couldn't sit any longer. Cupid and I went to Bruesters Ice Cream for a treat. He was sooo excited he ran up to the stand!! I think he knew something special was waiting there for him! It was the first time we went to there so he didn't know what was there yet. The first thing the girl asked me was if I wanted a doggie dish. When he got it, there was a little dog biscuit stuck in the icecream. It was so cute. I hope your having a good evening, later.
Benadryl cream
Apply to your earlobes front and back, put in the earrings and don't touch the rest of the day! Really works, even if you have to wear the nickel earrings from time to time.
No, but on progesterone cream. sm
Just finished book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" by John R. Lee and Virginia Hopkins. Their web site explains and outlines various menopause symptoms and then tells you what would work best for those symptoms, estrogen or progesterone. I am using the progesterone cream, which I got from a list of progesterone creams from his website.
The first thing I note is that I am sleeping better. I have less hot flashes and just feel better overall. I also take a vitamin that helps hormonal issues.
It's a process. One has to figure out what their body needs and do their best to supplement it. I tried not to do anything for a while, but my hormones are going crazy and it affects my mood and well being. I wish I were symptom-free as most of my friends, but that is not the case for me.
I don't want HRT so this is the next best thing for me.
Anyone had Bruster's ice cream??. We tried..
yesterday and were expecting a really great treat....they say it's "real" ice cream. Very disappointed. I've had real ice cream and this was not as I remember it. Breyer's from the grocery store is better. And the waffle cones fell apart as we were eating it.
Broccolli Cheese Casserole
This is a family favorite, and the only thing DH will touch that has mayonaisse in it. Very rich!
Preheat oven to 350.
1 box frozen chopped broccolli
1/2 c. mayonaisse
1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
salt & pepper
Ritz crackers
Cook and drain broccolli. Combine everything except the cheese and the Ritz crackers. Pour into greased baking dish. Cover with cheese and crumbled Ritz crackers. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Philly Cheese Steak
I saw them making Philly Cheese Steak on the Food Network the other day and they used New York steak. Kind of expensive, but it looked really good. They said you could freeze it and then slice it thin while it was still slightly frozen (to make it easier), but I can't see why you couldn't have the butcher do it.
can cubed cheese be frozen?
I have a big cheese platter left over from a party this weekend. It consists various cubed cheeses. Did anyone ever freeze cheese?
Thanks
Wow..we always had grilled cheese too! Thanks for posting..sm
It is very hard to go to all the places that I once shared with my mom. I am trying to keep her in my heart and do all the fun and memorable things with my daughters. Everything I do seems to bring her close to my heart.. and makes me cry for her. Thanks again for posting. Take Care.
