Kid's Favorite Things

Most kids I know love Mac and Cheese, carrots and applesauce...well that is what we had tonight with a little twist:

Brown Sugar Carrots
5 large carrots cut into cute pieces
2 tbls brown sugar
2 tbls butter
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill
Cover carrots with water and add salt. Boil until tender. Drain. Add sugar, butter and dill. Yumm!


Way Better than Kraft Mac and Cheese
1lb elbow macaroni
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
3 to 4 cups half and half or milk
1/4 cup flour
2 tbls butter
1/2 lb Hickory Farms sausage
1 Tbls salt
Bring water to boil with salt added. Cook Macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut sausage into bite size pieces and saute' until crispy on the edges. Remove from pan and leave grease(that's the best part!) Add butter, add flour and stir until bubbly. Add half and half and whisk until thick. Add cheese a handful at a time. Thin to desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Add macaroni and you are done! This recipe feeds 5 hungry kids and two adults with leftovers.

Hope your family likes it as much as mine. Can you see why we want a cow!! All that cream and milk...
