Yup. Our current favorites are:

Mac n Cheese with tuna and peas.
Mac n Cheese with browned ground turkey.

She's been ferociously kicksome and headbutty over the last few days, and now that she's head down it's getting seriously discomfiting.

Err, hate to tell you, but that's more size-related than diet related. It will get worse.

So, what are people doing for the Last Weekend of Summer?

Family in town, US Opening Sat and Mon, tour-guiding Sun.

Evenings I have to myself and I plan to sand my non-closing kitchen cabinet, cook, take pics of ebay things, and sleep.

This Sandra woman is an abomination to dinner time.

IO cooking N, Anthony Bourdain is Teh Sex. I read Kitchen Confidential and really liked it, but never really saw him talking until last night. We watched his show on the Travel Channel and yikes! Thsoe lips, those eyes, that voice. He's got the snarky bad boy thing going that makes me all fluttery.

Except, Sandra Lee wouldn't just add stuff to Mac'n'Cheese. That's a normal, sane way to use prepackged ingredients. She would throw away the macaroni and use the cheese packet as an ingredient in some kind of unecessarily complicated fake cheese sauce with fifteen other non-food ingredients, and then make her own pasta out of wonton wrappers and puffed rice cereal.

No, I take that back about throwing out the macaroni. She'd probably spray-paint it gold and use it to create one of her signature hideous "tablescapes."

[And, shit, I just realized I haven't eaten lunch. No wonder I've got a headache. Off to the kitchen...]

Now I want mac n cheese with cut up hot dogs.

Or velveeta mac n cheese with ground beef and canned green beans on the side. Num.

OMG, her mole. [link]

1 cup meat-flavored spaghetti sauce 
1 cup red wine 
1 cup low-sodium beef broth 
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 
1 ounce semisweet chocolate 
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 
2 rib-eye steaks, about 1-inch thick 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

Meat-flavored spaghetti sauce is my favorite part. It's from the "romance" episode.

It's adding stuff to Mac n Cheese!!

Nothing wrong with that. It was one of our tried and true camp meals. But putting it on your website and calling it a recipe!!!

I have made brownies from a mix and jazzed them up by adding kalhuha. Somebody get me a show on food.tv.

If the speculation thread isn't whether Alton Brown or Bobby Flay will kill her first (and with what), it should be. Hey, it could be another Clue spin-off. Emeril Lagasse in Boston with poisoned pudding mix.

nothing makes me feel better than to see people rant about Sandra Lee. She makes my blood sugar rise. Everything vaguely dessert like gets an extra dash of sugar....and the tablescapes ..eww. and so fussy -- and it is amazing to see her do so much with out barely touching the food. I only watch her to be appaled.....
