Ok, I tried another recipe. I was trying to allow some error to the recipies due to Brooke's picky tastes. Maybe she didnt like the "buttered noodles" because she didnt like the shape, or maybe the taste. She eats macaroni & cheese that I prepare (with added calliflower), so I figured that I would try the Deceptively Delicious mac & cheese. I used elbow noodles just like she is used to. The difference between my mac and cheese and this one is that 1) this one is home-made, not from a box and 2) it has butternut squash versus caulliflower.
So I chopped up the squash (which was a pain)
And steamed and pureed it in the Babycook (which was easy)
After mixing all the ingredients together I had a
very cheesy macaroni and cheese. It was so thick and heavy, it practically warped the spatula. But, since I'm used to the cheap box kind, maybe I'm just not familiar with the "good stuff".
I gave it a taste and thought it was ok. Honestly, the box stuff is better. But ... it wasnt up to me. It was up to the tiny food critic.
She inspected it.
It must have looked ok because she decided to give it a try.
Many items never even enter her mouth, they go straight to the dog.
This was a good sign.
or maybe not...
And to prove how poorly I learn a lesson, I have one more recipe we are going to try tonight. This one has pureed beets in it. Yum.
