Grandma's Homemade Mac & Cheese
1 qt (4 cups) water
1 tsp salt
1-2 Tbs chopped onion (an absolute MUST)
2 cups elbow macaroni
1/2-2/3 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or more if you want)
salt and pepper to taste
Put water, salt and onion in pot and bring to boil. Add noodles. Cook until done then drain water. Return noodles and onions to pot and turn heat on again. Add milk and once it starts to boil add shredded cheese and stir until all melted and stringy. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Whole Wheat Bread
Mmmmmm butter!
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 Tbs yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
5 cups hot water
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup oil
3 cups white flour
6+ cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbs salt
Stir luke warm water, yeast and sugar in a separate bowl and let rise while adding the other ingredients to mixer, When mixed well, add risen yeast and gradually add 3 more cups wheat clour. Watch to see if dough pulls away from sides of bowl. If not, gradually add more flour until it does. Add 2 Tbs salt very last and then knead for 10 minutes in mixer or by hand. Turn oven on to warm. Grease 5 bread pans with shortening using a sandwich bag over your hand so you don't get greasy (great trick my mom taught me). Sprinkly flour on counter and put all dough on it. Cut into 5 even pieces. Knead each portion into aloaf and put in pans. Turn off oven. Put all loaves of bread into warm oven, cover with dish towel and let rise 30-60 minutes. When risen fully remove dish towel and turn oven on to 350 degrees and bake for 24-26 minutes. Take loaves out, rub butter on tops and pop out on clean dish towel to cool.
I half this recipe because I only have 2 bread pans and it makes the perfect amount of dough.
*Can use different kinds of grain flour: teff, amareth, kamut, spelt, etc.
