Scratch mac n' cheese



Tias asked if we could have mac n' cheese for lunch. Well, the old stand bye of KD no longer resides in our home. And I haven't re stocked our "Annie's Organic White Cheddar" mac n' cheese. So, I boiled about two cups of elbow macaroni in salted water. Meanwhile I realized I was completely out of butter so I poured about two to three tablespoons of olive oil into a pot on medium heat. I grabbed my whisk and slowly whisked in two to three tablespoons of flour into the oil. I let it bubble for a quick bit and then I slowly started pouring some milk into it while whisking. After adding about a cup or so then I added about a cup to a cup and half of grated cheese into it. Then after it was melted and bubbly, I added some sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. I strained the pasta and added the cheese sauce! And YUM YUM! The children all enjoyed it and actually, it was REALLY tasty!
