Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients:

1 box (16 oz) noodles (I used rigatoni because it looks more fun than elbow macaroni :)

2 Tbsp butter

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

12 oz grated cheddar cheese (I used sharp cheddar, and it gave it a great bite)

2 eggs, beaten

2 teaspoons mustard (the original calls for dry mustard powder, but I used yellow mustard- shhh...)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and Pepper (whoops. left that out.)

Directions:

1. Boil pasta according to package directions, but reduce the time by 1 minute. Drain and pour back into pot.

2. Over medium heat, add butter and stir until melted

3. Mix the egg, milk, and spices and pour over the pasta. Stir until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

(I forgot the mixing part and just poured it all in; either way)

4. Remove the pan from heat and add cheese in four installments, making sure the first is melted completely before adding the next. (You may have to turn the heat back on to completely melt the cheese)

Serve immediately, it gets hard when cold. Serves 8-10 side dish servings.

Honey BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

10 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

season salt

garlic salt

pepper

4 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

1 bottle BBQ sauce (I used Jack Daniels and it turned out great)

1 honey bear

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup flour

Directions:

1. Slice chicken in halves, roughly 1/2 inch wide. Place in a bowl of Worcestershire, in shifts to coat evenly.

2. Sprinkle with season salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a frying pan at med/high

3. In a bowl, coat pieces of chicken with flour and fry in pan until golden brown, again in shifts.

(When I made this, they didn't turn out quite as crispy as I would like; I will cook them longer next time)

4. Mix BBQ and honey in a bowl and preheat oven to 400 F

(When I made it, there was a lot of sauce leftover, but I couldn't use it because it touched raw chicken. I would suggest dividing it into two bowls, only using the second if needed. It is a great sauce and a shame to waste)

5. Place fried chicken on a cookie sheet. Brush BBQ mix over chicken and bake for 10 min

6. Remove chicken and baste again. Return to oven and make for an additional 10 min
