Paula Deen is a DSer's dream cook!

 
I love my crockpot.  I love mac n cheese.  I love butter.  I love Paula Deen.  Yay!  Thanks for this one.

As far as the pasta goes, to me, you can either eat it or you can't.  Early out, it's hard in terms of space and food tolerations.  I wouldn't try it until about 3 months out or so, just my humble opinion.  Later on, one has to make a decision if the space, gas, and carbs are worth it.  It is for me!

I don't subscribe to the marketing notion that Dreamfields has any special powers--although everyone tolerates different brands and configurations differently.

I've never had a blood sugar spike for Dreamfield's, either fresh or leftover, so I figure, that as far as my system goes, the "protective matrix" or whatever is still working. You're welcome for the recipe... I'm glad I could inspire yummies in someone else's life!
