Thus it is wintertime. Outside the snow is piled high, the temperature is nearly sub zero, and all around people are cooking up warm, delicious comfort foods to get them through the long winter nights. I love winter, especially here in the Northeast, where the changing of seasons is comforting and beautiful. While the snow is falling there is a sense of peace that cannot be found anywhere else. Simply to stand and listen to the silence; clarity and calm will befall anyone who does.
During this most recent cold snap I decided to make up a yummy comfort food dinner for myself. I was working with the limited ingredients found in my fridge and pantry: cheese, bouillon cubes, macaroni, kale and onions. Who would have thought that they could create something so yummy?
Basically this is a non-milk version of macaroni and cheese, spiced up with some delicious kale and onions. I started out by sauteing some onions until translucent. While the onions are cooking, put a pot of water on for your macaroni.
Then I added half of a vegetarian bouillon cube to the onions and mixed until it was blended in.
I tossed in some kale at this point and sauteed until it was soft. Cooked my macaroni (enough for a serving or two) and strained it.
Grated about a cup of cheese (I had a delicious aged cheddar) and mixed it into my noodles.
Mix in the kale and onions and add a few tablespoons of water. The water will mix with the vegetables and create a broth from the bouillon cubes.
Mix well and voila!
I was thrilled with this delicious concoction. It was the epitome of comfort food! I hope that you like this as well! Enjoy!
