Mac and Cheese Bites I made these Mac and Cheese Bites on the Fourth of July thinking that the kids would love them, but I think the adults ended up liking them more. In fact, Luke, who loves mac and cheese, wouldn’t eat these…crazy kid! That was just fine with me though – I was happy to eat Luke’s leftovers. Boursin garlic herb cheese was a new ingredient to me, but surprisingly easy to find in my local Ingles grocrey store. I think it would be good by itself on good crusty bread or crackers, and loved the creaminess it added to these Mac and Cheese Bites. Because of their individual portion size, these make a great party food and I definitely plan on adding them to the menu of my next get together. Mac and Cheese Bites Instructions:1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Corn with coconut milk (Ginataang mais) When this month’s Kulinarya Cooking Club theme was announced, I was incredibly excited. The theme was gata, which is Filipino for coconut milk. Anything made with coconut milk was fair game, and the posts so far have covered both savory and sweet bases. With the wealth of choices available, I expected to be overwhelmed by the task of choosing just one. However, my mind pretty much made itself up for me early on, and despite my attempts to steer it toward more creative lines, it stubbornly held on to its first choice. It’s an understandable choice, since I’m in New Jersey and have access to incredibly sweet corn grown in a field right in our town. The ingredients are fairly easy to come by, too. Want a closer look at that rice? I love sweet rice. This recipe is easy enough to make with kids. As kids, we enjoyed this after playing outside, or when we had an unexpected day off school because of a typhoon. It’s a great afternoon treat to throw together.
