Stuffed Potatoes (Bacon and Cheddar Cheese)

Here we go again! Another stuffed potato recipe. But they are so good! You can do so many things and make so many combinations! The sky is the limit! Hope you guys enjoy my combinations so far.

Ingredients:

1 big russet potato

¼ cup of cheddar cheese

¼ cup of  bacon

1 tablespoon of unsalted butter

Salt to taste

Cheddar cheese (a little extra to put on top)

Procedure:

Put the potato in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.When you see that there are 15 minutes left for the potato to be done, start making the filling.

Cut the bacon and put it on the skillet until cooked. Put the cooked bacon in a paper towel to drain.

Once out of the oven cut the potato in half.

Use a spoon to scoop the insides out, but don’t remove all of the potato; remember to leave some in because you want it to hold up the potato while you make the filling.

Mix the insides with the bacon and the cheddar cheese. Add salt (to taste) and the butter. 

Mix it until combined.

Put the mix inside the potatoes and add a little bit of cheddar cheese on top.

Now enjoy!

Mac and Cheese

I've never made mac and cheese from scratch, so I decided to try it today. I've being thinking about what I'd to cook for my children when my husband and I start having them. Naturally, at least for me, I want them to eat healthy with meals made from scratch at home. So we can say this blog is a prelude for things to come in the future. The macaroni were amazing, extremely tasty. I will definitely be playing with different cheeses and flavors to make new recipes. Hope you guys enjoy them too! 

Ingredients:

½ pound of elbow macaroni

4 Tablespoons of butter

2 eggs

6 ounces of evaporated milk

1 teaspoon of kosher salt

Fresh black pepper to taste

10 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese

Procedure:

In a large pot put water and salt to taste. Wait until the water is boiling and then add the elbow macaroni.

Once cooked drain and put the pasta back in the pot with the butter.

Whisk the eggs, milk salt and pepper.

Add them to the pasta.

Add the cheese and stir on low heat for 3 minutes or until creamy.

Enjoy!
