Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese
Larry is away for the weekend, so it's just me. That means I get to cook things Larry doesn't necessarily like for dinner. I love macaroni and cheese. I decided to try a lighter version from Cooking Light. It's good, but I'm more of a purist when it comes to macaroni and cheese. I didn't quite follow the recipe, so it wasn't as light as it could have been. I used Trader Joe's pre-shredded four-cheese mixture because I was lazy and didn't want to go searching for reduced fat cheddar. Plus... there's something wrong with reduced fat cheese. It's just not right.

I almost always buy part-skim ricotta, but I don't think I've ever had any other reduced fat cheese. I assume that's what they do? Use 2% milk or something, instead of whole? I might be ok with it, I'm not sure.
I'm assuming that too - they just use lower fat milk? I've never used it either. I guess I should try. If it melts okay, it might be tolerable in things like mac and cheese.
