i subscribe to real simple magazine for one reason...the recipes :-) the february issue had some great recipes and i made the macaroni & cheese with cauliflower. chris and i switched to whole-wheat pasta last year, and since i`ve been on maternity leave, i`ve been eating breakfast DAILY and eating whole-wheat mulitgrain bread. and since i got a food processor as a bday gift 2 years ago, this mac & cheese recipe was made for me! the cauliflower is a great twist to a classic meal, and we both thoroughly enjoyed dinner last night.
the next recipe i want to try out is the pulled pork tacos! it`s about time i used the slow cooker that`s been packed away in the closet for the past year. plus i don`t have to worry about searching the meat section for the right cut of pork ;-) it`s ironic that the only type of meat i can pick out is ground beef...all the other cuts of meat just confuse me and i have to call chris to explain them :P
another great thing i discovered is the panini press. we got one as a wedding gift and have only just started using it in the past 2 weeks. a deli by my office makes the best brie panini`s so i made it my mission to re-create it at home. while it`s not quite identical, i`ve had great success and have added prosciutto as well. yum!
3 great gadgets in my own kitchen! and once again i`ve gotten excited about cooking!

I've been reading Mark Bittman's blog and have been wanting to try out his recipes but have no time! Here's one of his mac and cheese recipes: http://bitten.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/addictive-mac-and-cheese/
In the comments, there are so many ppl writing in about their version of m&c...homemade m&c...yum!
We tried that one too! But we used broccoli instead and it also turned out great...
glad you're enjoying the food processor =).
i love our panini press, now that i'm home it's a quick way to make a great tasting lunch!
i still haven't used the slow cooker we got for our wedding thought :P.
