DECEPTIVELY DELICIOUS MAC & CHEESE (WITH MY TWIST)
This is a recipe I adapted from Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook about sneaking healthy food into recipes. It uses pureed chickpeas to thicken the cheese sauce as opposed to butter and flour. It comes together in a flash and is adaptable to many different diets. I serve it over gluten free pasta.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to broil.
- Cook the noodles, as directed.
- Cube about 3/4 of the block of sharp cheddar cheese, and 3/4 of the block of mild cheddar cheese.
- Cut the remaining 1/4 of the blocks of cheese into slices, set aside.
- In a large sauce pan, heat the egg and begin melting the cubed cheese.
- Stir constantly!
- Slowly add the cubed cheese and evaporated milk, until all the cubed cheese is melted and desired consistency is reached. (I usually don't use the whole can of milk, but if you like it creamier, feel free!).
- Mix cooked noodles into the sauce pan with the melted cheese sauce.
- Pour into a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
- Cover the dish with the remaining sliced cheese.
- Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly & brownish.
- I give it a good stir before serving, so all the cheese is mixed together.
- Enjoy!

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH A TWIST
I found this recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks: "The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook" Besides being a great dairy free recipe for "mac and cheese", the flavor of the dish from the miso, tofu and lemon is really unique. It's also a fun way to sneak tofu into the diets of non vegetarians. I do eat dairy, so I usually use skim milk and real cheese instead of the soy, but the original recipe from the book uses the non-dairy options.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly spray a 2 1/2 quart caserole dish with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Place onions in a blender or food processor with the milk, tofu, lemon juice, miso, hot sauce, turmeric, and salt and pepper.
- Process until well blended.
- Take a taste and adjust any of the seasonings as needed, then set aside.
- Cook rotini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just under al dente (I'd say about 6-7 minutes).
- Drain pasta and add the sauce from the blender and half of the grated cheese.
- Combine well.
- Place pasta into the caserole dish, and top with the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake until the top is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
- Let sit about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

JESSICA SEINFELD HEALTHY BROWNIES
These are the HEALTHY brownies from Jessica Seinfeld's new book, Deceptively Delicious. She made them on Oprah last week and they looked great. The only change here is I made them with a mixture of wheat & white flour instead of oat flour and I used butter instead of trans fat free margarine as the original recipe calls for because that's what I have in my kitchen! To puree veggies, I used microwave then ran through the food processer. I would guess about 1 1/4 cups of carrots made the 1/2 cup puree and almost a whole bag of pre-washed baby spinach for the spinach puree. They are not overly sweet OR chocolatey but for being healthy, they are not bad! My 11 year old just came in and said YUM, BROWNIES!
