Smokey Mac and Cheese with Squash and Spinach

Date: 2/6/2012

Recipe: http://www.acouplecooks.com/2012/01/smoky-mac-and-cheese-with-squash-and-spinach/

Modifications: I ended up having a ton of gouda, so did not add any additional cheddar. This probably just made it even better, and certainly helped the “smokiness”.

Time to table: 30 minutes

Servings: 4 adults

Notes: We all enjoyed this – as Sonja indicates in the recipe, by far the hardest part is peeling and chopping the squash (so it’s not that hard really 🙂 – but if you do that in advance, this all comes together pretty quickly! This is very similar to this recipe – I enjoyed both, but it is nice to skip the roasting squash and baking step if you’re pressed for time!

Annie has wised up to my dinner photo routine – now instead of just continuing to eat while I take photos of her, she helpfully holds out her bowl as well, so I can take a pic of it like I took one of my own 🙂
