Week18: pickup and mac & cheese

Last night's pickup included:

red kale
a sugar pumpkin
acorn squash
carrots
turnips
broccoli
mutsu apples

First of all, the apples are the biggest apples I have ever seen. Some of them are easily 5 inches wide. I plan to make another apple crisp this weekend because last week's just wasn't enough!

Last night I made true comfort food in response to the dreary, rainy weather: macaroni and cheese. I worked from this recipe, but used the kale instead of spinach. A definite win. I also omitted the goat cheese, and used 1% milk.

I also had been dying to make this brownie recipe since I found it last week. Brownies with whiskey and stout? Yes please. They turned out well except that the chocolate chips sort of sunk to the bottom so when I served the first one, the chips stayed behind leaving a rather swiss cheese-shaped brownie bottom. Still delicious though!
