WS Oatmeal-Craisin Cookies

I can't really tell you the exact recipe, its in one of my many William Sonoma books (and not one from online), the "Cookies" book. But it was what I started with. I used my homemade cultured (healthier) butter in the cookies, rolled oats, walnuts, craisins (in some) gluten free flours (healthy ones like bean and brown rice) an egg, etc. And not very much brown sugar in it either. And vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in it to. 

THEY TURNED OUT SO WARM AND YUMMY! I will definitely be making them again! Maybe try them out a sugar free way (using IDEAL sugar). And with real cranberries instead of dried ones for added tartness.These will be our breakfast cookies! 

NOM NOM NOM!

I do recommend WS books, if you see them, you should buy one and try out some of the recipes. Also, remember if the flour is under 1 cup, you can fairly easily switch it with gf flour!

Lani's Baked Mac N' Cheese

Welp, again...I'm not much for following recipes. Now my insiration recipe started with fanny farmers blue ribbon baked mac. But I dont stick strictly to it. 

1. the noodles are quino pasta and cooked with a chicken bullion in the water.

2. my rue is 1/2 stick of real butter and about 1/2 cup of flour, pint of half n half (heated) and then milk added until thin enough. of coarse salt pepper onion powder paprika red pepper and mustard mixed to taste. 

3. cheese! its at least half the reason you eating this! I prefer the main cheese to be a good sharp cheddar. my secondary cheese (not going in the sauce but a layer in the middle of the mixture) was a creamy cheese, montery jack. and cheez-it crackers crushed and mixed with melted butter on top. 

add as much or as little as you like. I added a sizable amount (whole decent size block) of cheddar, half a block of shredded mj. 

the sauce takes a bit, whiSk constantly. don't get too hot.

OH AND I BAKE AT 400 ABOUT 30 MINS. (GAS OVEN)

tada...yummness!
