Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Today, I used a very basic mac and cheese recipe to make dinner.  I substituted the cheddar and Velveta with Montery Jack and Habanero cheddar.  I also added green onions and garlic.  I'm pretty pleased with the result:

The Acorn Squash is Stuffed...

It's been awhile...a long while but I wanted to share my latest kitchen triumph.  I currently have no stove and I'm approaching a season of baking...what to do? Well, I have a toaster with a convection oven setting, I can make this work. I used a recipe for Vegan Stuffed Acorn Squash I found at OAMM.  All was going well until I discovered something gross living in my box of Quinoa and had to chuck it into the garbage.  I ended up using rice instead.  Also, I did not use the meat substitute suggested, I had leftover from our lentil tacos the other day and used that and some sauteed mushrooms and onions. Enough talk, here are some pics:

This meal was much easier to cook than I thought it'd be, even with all the challenges (no quinoa, no oven).  If you're looking for a satisfying and healthy autumnul meal this is a good bet!

This Corn is Sa-weeeeeeet!

Today the hubby texted me with "I'm really in the mood for garlic" and I had corn so I found a recipe called Sweet Grilled Corn, my only modifications were instead of herbs I used an Italian herb grinder, I used olive oil instead of macadamia oil and instead of foil I cooked the corn in their husks:

I love the taste of food grilled over charcoal, I will never use a gas grill ever again.  Here's another pic of the corn, this time with husks peeled, ready to be consumed:

It was soooooo good, definitely check out the recipe and try it for yourself!
