It's a new week, and the start of roller coaster ride. Lucky for us, both of today's recipes got us started off on the right foot.
This Bacon Feta Mac and Cheese, sounded great. Plus, I had the jumbo box of feta from Costco hanging around in my fridge. Perfect.
It did not disappoint. This is a delicious mac and cheese that doesn't stray too far from true mac and cheese flavors. It's just exotic enough to be interesting.
Then there was dessert. A week or so ago we bought the giant box of plums from Costco. (Wait is there a theme here?) They were sour and not too tasty. I decided to give them a few days on the counter to see if they would sweeten up. At the same time, I decided it might be good to find a recipe that used a lot of plums at one time, rather than eating them one at a time.
The coconut twist of this Plum-Coconut Crisp resonated with me. The pudding mix on top of the fruit was an interesting thought, but it seemed to work, and while there was plenty of juice from the fruit, it wasn't completely runny, which I liked. The coconut topping was fantastic. A nice sweet balance to the tartness of the plums underneath. And, more good luck, we still have three more plums that have ripened nicely.
