A delicious red lentil soup heavy on sweet potatoes. Recipe courtesy of http://albioncooks.blogspot.com/2007/11/red-lentil-soup-with-ricotta-dumplings.html. I used a fresh jalepeno and doubled the lentils. Next time I may add more lentils and more curry powder.
As for the twist for the macaroni and cheese...it's cauliflower! But you never would have guessed if you'd eaten it. I roughly chopped the cauliflower and steamed it with a little bit of water. When soft, blend it with an immersion blender and then add a pat of butter and enough cheese to meet your preference. Add salt, pepper, and any other spice you like, and mix with cooked macaroni. I baked mine with bread crumbs and Parm on top. We ate every bit and wished we had more.
