I skipped the cilantro and added cheese.
Other than that I followed the recipe!

*On a totally random note
I haven't watched the Bachelor/Bachelorette in years and decided to jump in last night.
If not just for the comic relief, I have to say it was a good decision.
Are you watching??

Yum!!!!
I have NEVER watched the bachelorette but one of our college friends was ALLLLMOST on this season. Then I would have watched for sure! My trashiest/most hilarious reality TV addiction was to Bridalplasty, because I worked with one of the crazies who was on the show.
WOW... I need to hire you to make our menus for get togethers!! =)
I haven't watched in a few seasons, but I love Emily and I'm excited about this season.
That Mac and Cheese looks amazing!!! I am hosting a new link party to talk about Bachelorette stuff - you should definitely check it out!! :)
First of all, YUM! I'm going to steal a couple of those recipes for a lake cabin weekend... they sound perfect! Second, OH man I've been watching the Bachelor/ette for probably five or six years (embarrassing..), but for the sake of laughs I can't stop! Husband and his friends got into it too--all of us wives "forced" them to watch it with us... They love it haha.
