I love it Lumbele, we eat a lot of greens in the south. People used to season greens with rendered fat from salt pork but I much prefer the chicken stock now that I have used it. I hope you like kale because it is one of the more bitter greens. The chicken stock takes alot of the bitterness out.

OK, you wiseguys and Kristy, DS followed Kristy's instructions to the letter last night and served what smelled and faintly tasted like a cross between cabbage and broccoli but better. Our landscraping just might end up seeing some of this flowering kale stuff after all.LOL Thanks again, Kristy for the rescue.

Lost, I have never made one, but I googled and it seems they really don't bake it, unless they have a graham cracker crust or pie shell. That (the crust) they bake.

I was wondering if anyone had a good homemade Macaroni and Cheese recipe. I have been using one that I found on the internet, but it just doesn't seem right-plus I had to cut most of the ingredients in half. I love homemade mac and cheese and would kill for a decent recipe!Thanks!

Sillycali, my dh makes a wonderful homemade mac and cheese, LOL, nobody likes it here, we are all sick for the Veveeta Cheese, the smooth creamy velveeta. Poor man works so hard to cook his flour so you dont taste the flour, then grates different cheeses, adds half and half cream instead of milk... but to no avail, we are sick people here, just give me the velveeta!!

I couldn't stand the Velveeta shells and cheese until I was pregnant. Then I developed an addiction to it that I've only recently recovered from. Completely off the topic, but there was a girl in my 2nd grade class named Velveeta.

Silly: Have you tried Alton Brown's on Food Network? He does two versions (stove top and baked) on the episode "For Whom the Cheese Melts 2". (It will be rebroadcast on Jan. 5, 6, and 17th if you need visual help.) I liked them--they need tweaking for my tastes--but it's a good start.

Lol-Not1- poor girl! That is funny because last night I was thinking about this guy I knew back in jr. High. His last name was Rawls and his sisters name was Cinnamon! Some parents are so cruel! Lk-thanks for the link! I find that every recipe needs tweaking for my tastes. I never measure anything so it makes things hard. Has anyone ever had Sinful Potatoes? That is my favorite! And a good one for the Holiday dinner.

Here's a great recipe with velveeta...but not Mac n Cheese. 2 lbs spagetti (I use thin, but not angel hair) 1/2 block velveeta (cubed) 1 can of rotel (mild or hot--your call) 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 2 tablespoons chilli powder or bag of chili mix--durkee Chicken (Your call on this, recipe always called for whole chicken, I use 4 breast, boneless skinless) In a large pan (8 qt) Boil chicken parts whole, until meat is falling off bones (I add pepper and salt to water as if i am making soup stock). (If you used bonless breasts, cook until done.) Remove all chicken from stock water. With stock water at a full boil place in spagetti to cook. While it cooks, dice up the chicken meat--remove bones. When pasta is cooked to desired texture, drain it off. Set to the side. In the same pan, heat the soup, the rotel and the spices, dices of cheese and allow to melt. Add in the chicken also. Once melted, mix in the pasta, and pour into a large casserole dish (I use a 13x9). Bake at 375 for 40 miutes. I am not a velveeta fan, never could handle it until I had it in this dish. The original recipe called for a whole block of velveeta, and 3 lbs of spagetti. I can't handle that much velveeta, but think the way I make it, doesn't make you feel cheated for any flavor. Also, if you don't like the Cream of mushroom...choose any other flavor you do like--just make it cream of...

Solifelike, I cook that recipe all of the time! I use boneless chicken breast and add a can of chicken broth when I boil the chicken. It helps make a great stock without worrying about the fat or bones.

Thought I would put this here just in case- My friends mother gave this one too me after years of seeing me the day after Thanksgiving at her home just so I could get some! She uses Velveeta in her recipe though Sinful Potatoes 1 bag of THAWED shoestring hashbrowns 1 pint(?) of sour cream (I use the one with the cow print) 1 Can of Cream of Chicken soup 1 block of shredded chedder cheese (or velveeta I supose) Salt/Pepper and onion flake to taste 1 stick of melted butter 1-1 1/2 cup of crunched corn flakes Mix-Hashbrowns, sour cream, soup, seasoning and about 3/4 of the cheese together in large bowl then place in casserole dish. In a seperate bowl combine corn flakes and melted butter. Sprinkle remaining cheese over hashbrown mix then coat with cornflake mixture. Place in 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes. I know there are different ways of making this, but this is how I do it. It is sooooo yummy.

Momma, thank you thank you thank you for the Sinful Potatoes recipe. I've had it ONCE and I absolutely LOVED it. I did a search for a recipe and found one with mayonnaise and it was icky. Yours sounds great!

I have decided I will make this with our dinner next week when Dh gets home. I think he'll love this. He's been complaining he's missing home cooking. (Funny, my sons are complaining of the same...I've just given up cooking!:::::ahhhhh, the emancipation!::::

Solifelike-Im going to be brave and try this one out that you posted! I have almost all of the ingredients already. Think I may shock my family! I've been cooking the same dishes for years! Lol....now, the only thing is I have never bought Velveeta before-do you think chedder will be fine or should I go with the velveeta?
