“Actually, forget the other stuff. I’ll have three bowls of mac and cheese.”

Sounds like a pretty decent meal.

“And milk to drinks, of course. Meow!”

You mean it isn’t?

Sounds good to me ! Enjoy !

What, wheat doesn’t count?

Staple here.

Actually the vegies are also considered a “Side” selected for the list on the menu, same as Mac & Cheese so nothing special here.

I had Keto “Mac and Cheese” for dinner with salad and Bratwurst last night. Keto Mac & CheeseIngredients:• 1 head cauliflower, cut small and boiled w/ 1 T ckn bouillon until very tender. Steaming is better so if you can, steam.• 1 tbsp butter• About 3/4 c heavy cream.• 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum• 1 tbsp cream cheese• 1 1/2 c cheese of choice• Salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard/powder, onion powder, dried parsley and whatever else you want to season it with. Put cooked crumbled bacon on top

Instructions:1. Melt butter. 2. Add xanthan gum to create paste. 3. Add cream cheese and melt that. 4. Add cream, enough to get a thick sauce.5. Add seasonings of choice. Add cheese and allow to just melt. 6. Add cooked cauliflower and mix.You can also bake this with mozzarella on top or pork rind crumbs and crumbled bacon.Remember cauliflower is watery, so make sure the sauce is thick so any water from the cauliflower doesn’t make it soupy.Optional: cut up sausageThere, a vegetable!

And don’t forget the slice of white bread to make sure you get your three starch mid-waist meal.

I’ll take chicken fried steak, corn pudding, green beans, and mashed potatoes.

Even better, if you go far enough south banana pudding is considered a vegetable.

I do like collards…

I could make a meal of just the “3”.

Collards too . . .

I’ve been cooking and eating macaroni and cheese since late 1950s
