Tasty Tuesday

The Pioneer Woman strikes again at our house! I just can't get enough of her recipes! This time I went out on a limb and tried something that I was very worried the husband was not going to be a fan of...well, I was right! I decided to make the "Fancy Mac & Cheese" and really slaved in the kitchen! Well, he was not a fan as it included gorgonzola cheese...he took a bite and that was it. Oh well, I enjoyed a heaping plate full!


Fancy Mac & Cheese
recipe found in her new cookbook Food From My Frontier
(similar version found here - but without the mushrooms)


{clockwise top left: cheese sauce / bakes mushrooms / finished Fancy Mac & Cheese / fabulous wine /  4 cheeses all grated / mac doused in cheese / sauteed onions / finished dish / freshly cooked bacon and diced mushrooms}

I fully intend on making this dish again but I do have to admit I probably will be eliminating the gorgonzola. It was a little pungent even for me! 

The wine I chose for that evening was called Pool Side and it was really good! Less than $12 and well worth it! I plan on having it again out on the deck!


I am linking up with Alissa at 33 Shades of Green for Tasty Tuesdays!

Regardless, this looks delish! I have a recipe for "Grown Up Mac & Cheese" that is delish. I'm going to email it to you. I'm going to be on the lookout for that wine! :)

I've never met a PW recipe I didn't like. I've seen this one and thought about making it, but haven't yet. Glad it was good...I might opt out on the gorgonzola too.

I love the Pioneer Woman, she can do no wrong. This looks yummy--I'll go for anything with mushrooms, bacon, and cheese! Bookmarking that wine too, I'm such a wino this summer:)

Geez, I love mac n cheese, and I actually love gorgonzola, so this might be the ticket for me and my family! I guess I need to visit the Pioneer Woman as I've heard so much about her. Glad I found your blog, I'd love for you to check my site out if you get a moment...
