New Year's Day has traditionally been a day for a special sit down meal. I have kept this tradition with our scaled down family in Ottawa since we moved here and had every intention of keeping it today. But... this is what our make-shift dining room table looks like right now (this is a story for another post).
So, no fancy sit-down dinner. Instead, this is what we had:
Good, old fashioned, macaroni and cheese!
Well, they are a bit different than the traditional versions. The first photo is what the meat and cheese eaters in our house had - Smackeroni and Cheese - from the Eat, Shrink and Be Merry cookbook (I have all the cookbooks by Janet and Greta Podleski and love them all - you will see recipes from these books featured often in my menu planning). It has ground beef, tomatoes, and zucchini in it - even fussy kids will eat this and get some veggies in their bellies.
The bottom photo is vegan style macaroni and "cheese" - Garrett tells me it is very good. I will have to trust him on that - I am still afraid of tofu and this version has tofu in it... It is called Best Vegan Mac and Cheese in the entire world...seriously. If you want to try it and find out for yourself, you can find the recipe on the VegWeb.com website here.
