Another lonely day at the castle...

Well its another new day and its rainy and cold. Bob, my husband, was in a car accident this morning. No one was hurt but both cars have some costly cosmetic damage. no one was hurt thank God.Last night for valentines day, Bob sent me a dozen roses and my friend came over and we watched her son play kinect and had wings and cocktails. nothing romantic, not sure what that is anymore.if i had groceries I would be cooking some comfort food for this dreary day. But  really just feel like going back to bed.
i would really love my chicken n stuffing or crock pot mac n cheese...


Crock pot mac n cheese
Preparation:Spray the crockery insert with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease the inside surface. Combine the thawed hash browns, onion, soups, sour cream, and melted butter. Pack into the slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.Serves 6.i have used shredded cheddar and Velveeta and added sausage and ham to it. if you want a little zest, throw a pinch of red pepper..one of Bobs favorites PAULA DEENS MAC N CHEESE (HEAVENLY)Ingredients
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese( I prefer Velveeta but the canned soup is good too)
... 3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream(I USE A LITTLE MORE)
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard( don't forget this ...you could put a little reg mustard if you don't have the dry)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Direction:Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Paula's recipe is divine but i sometimes tweak it for what ingredients i do have. but the butter sour cream and cheese make it so creamy and good. I've shared this with friends who tried it and loved it. one friend use white cheddar instead. so good
