MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH CRUNCHY GARLIC BREAD CUBES



Macaroni and Cheese With Crunchy Garlic Bread Cubes image

I created this creamy and flavorful baked macaroni and cheese after being disappointed with so many others I have tried. I especially like the garlic bread topping! The leftovers microwave nicely too - the macaroni and cheese stays creamy - and though the garlic bread topping softens, it stays flavorful!

WATERMELON & FETA CHEESE 'CUBES' -- FOR TWO



Watermelon & Feta Cheese 'cubes' -- for Two image

I came across this highly unusual, yet delicious recipe in a book simply called ''Middle Eastern Cookery'' (I don't remember the author though). These cubes make a lovely starter just for 2, but obviously you can increase the recipe to serve more....these are a big hit at dinner parties. I do find that 5 cubes per person is a bit much -- 2-3 is much better for us, 10 cubes on a tray of appetizers would be fine for 5 guests for example.

Provided by Um Safia

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 (2 inch) cubes seedless watermelon
1/2 cup red onion, finely minced
5 moroccan oil-cured olives, pitted & minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
10 small mint leaves

Steps:

  • Dig a small hole in each watermelon cube about 3/4 of the way down into the flesh. A melon baller will work well for this. Basically you want to create a cavity to fill.
  • Mix together the onions, olives & oil. Place a small amount in each watermelon cube, filling them about halfway.
  • Fill the cavities the rest of the way up with the crumbled feta & top each one with a mint leaf.
  • Serve as a finger food.
