When we were at Bea's house a few months ago she made this amazing mac-n-cheese from scratch and I just had to share...not to mention all of us girls want to make it again, so here it is...
Adult Mac-N-Cheese
1 lb of elbow pasta (cooked and drained)
Sauté the following in olive oil for a few mintues:
Sliced mushrooms
1 diced onion
Spinach
*toss in food processor, pulse on and off a few times, until everything is minced evenly and set aside
Cook and crumble pancetta (or bacon) and add to veggies
Alfredo (I make my own, but you can use store bought)
Coat pan with olive oil on medium heat
Add 3-4 chopped cloves of garlic and cook about 1 minute
Add 3 spoonfuls of cream cheese and allow to melt
Add 1 pint carton of heavy whipping cream
Salt and Pepper to taste
*Stir continuously for 15-20 minutes
Pull off heat and stir in 1 carton of parmesan cheese
Mix everything together and top with bread crumbs
Bake until heated through and serve immediately.
***You can use mix in any cheeses you want. I have used mozzarella and gorgonzola in the past. You can also use any mix of veggies (i.e. peas, corn) or spices (cayenne, parsely) that you like to make it your own!*
I just realized I have all of these ingredients...guess I know what we're having for dinner tonight.

- Thank you for visiting! We are Amanda, Tiffany, Lauren H, Lauren F, Danielle, Lisa, Meagan, Teresa, Emily, Cassie, & Bea. We are a group of women ranging in age from 27-32. 2011 marks the 5th Fall season of us getting together weekly, on Thursdays, to make dinner for eachother, talk about our kids, marriages, jobs, weddings, homes, weekends and so on. We travel as far North as Kirkland and as far South as Graham to visit each week...that's a total of nearly an hour of driving (not counting traffic), so that should show you how dedicated we are to "the cause" of having some girl time each week. A few of us are mothers and have planned our weddings. Our group also includes a dietitian, wine distributor & a few teachers ranging from elementary to high school. We are here to share our favorite recipes, update you on our girl talk each week, answer questions from experience and review products for companies and share our takes on them for the women out there just like us. Please feel free to contact us with topics you'd like us to cover or questions you may have. Our group e-mail is ThursdayGirlsNights@gmail.com Thanks again, The Girls
