Macaroni and cheese


Always love Mac n cheese, but some are creamy and delicious and some are dry and bland

It definitely depends on the type

Macaroni and cheese is probably the majority winner


this is always going to be either the best or worst side on the table...no in between. It's either a killer rich savory pan of gooeyness....or a bland pan of nothing.

It's great. Popeyes cajun rice is an approximation of it.

Yeah, I love that stuff.

I should find a good recipe and make it at home

On that note I’m about to start cooking my squash and onions

In 1956, St. Francisville native Madeline Wright was mulling over what to prepare for a bridge luncheon for friends when she spotted a six-ounce roll of Kraft jalapeño cheese in her refrigerator. She had picked up the new product from the supermarket a few days earlier with no plan for its use. Now she thought it might enhance creamed spinach. Despite her lack of cooking experience, she proceeded to toss together what seemed right: chopped spinach, diced onion, butter, flour, vegetable liquor, Pet evaporated milk, a few shakes of celery salt and garlic salt, chunks of the jalapeno cheese roll and Worcestershire sauce. Wright stirred the concoction until it was thick and creamy, placed it in a casserole and topped it with breadcrumbs. She plated it on good china and served it to her friends.

It was creamy, salty and spiked with unexpected spiciness. Her friend’s rave reviews inspired her to keep serving the dish for dinner parties and family events. Two years later, the Junior League of Baton Rouge asked its members to submit recipes for its first planned cookbook and Wright handed over instructions for her go-to spicy creamed spinach.

She named it Spinach Madeleine

Fried okra is the best if done right.

Cornbread (my grandmother's recipe to be specific) is 1a.

Potato salad or cole slaw is great as well, but I've run into more bad recipes where people go nuts with the mayo than I prefer.

Fried Okra is #1

Mac and Cheese would be #2

Cornbread at #3
