i made homemade macaroni & cheese with oven-roasted brussels sprouts for dinner tonight, and if you've never had homemade mac & cheese you are definitely missing out! i made mine with brown rice noodles*, milk, butter, raw milk white cheddar and gruyere cheeses, and parmigiano-reggiano cheese. pretty darn delicious, i have to say.it's been so hot here the past few days, but roasted vegetables [especially brussels sprouts] always remind me of fall for some reason. and sometimes my husband and i don't always agree on vegetables, but brussels sprouts is definitely one we both love, surprisingly! we like ours cooked in a little olive oil with plenty of sea salt and pepper. <3
*i don't know if brown rice noodles are really any healthier, we just like the texture better :)
if brussels sprouts were always paired with homemade mac and cheese, i think more people would eat them! poor things get such a bad rap.
ReplyDeletemac and cheese is amazing, and homemade is even better!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Love mac and cheese, LOVE brussels sprouts. Looks like a perfect dinner to me.
ReplyDeletexo,

That meal looks delicious! I have never had brussel sprouts, but they look might tasty.
ReplyDeletethose brussels sprouts look so pretty! I think we'll have to try to make it ourselves.
ReplyDeleteWe must be on the same page because I made brussel sprouts THE EXACT SAME way last night! Only difference: I can't get my boyfriend to eat them! But I love them!
ReplyDeleteYum!I made smoked mac n cheese recently (with smoked mozzarella & smoked gruyere cheeses) that was a-mazing... loveee mac n cheese!
ReplyDeleteYum! Everything looks delicious. Can't get anymore cozy than mac and cheese. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious dinner! Nothing beats homemade mac & cheese :-)
ReplyDeleteSo funny, right before I read this post I had JUST decided to make macaroni and cheese tonight. We also had homemade mac and cheese a few weeks ago, and it was so good that I've been wanting to make it again, but tray a new recipe!:)
ReplyDeletemmm. looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteand is it okay to admit that i've never had a brussel sprout in my life?
your food pictures are always so gorgeous! just out of curiosity, which brand of pasta do you use? my sister is gluten-free and we're always looking for noodles with a good texture.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I love homemade mac n' cheese of all kinds! Happy weekend :)
ReplyDeletethis is like some fancy mac and cheese with words i cannot even pronounce, girl. it looks awesome, but i don't know if my southern mac n cheese lovin' self could deal with the brussels sprouts, haha :) have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't even like brussel sprouts, but I wanna eat them when I see your photos! :)
ReplyDeleteThose brussels look fantastic.

mmmm....brussel sprouts remind me of fall, which has officially started now that I've had my first pumpkins spice latte of the season :)
ReplyDeletehmmm.... i'm not sure how i feel about brussel sprouts but i do know that i LOVE homemade mac & cheese. it's the best!
ReplyDeleteMac & cheese and brussels sprouts are two of my favourite foods! People always think I'm crazy for loving brussels sprouts, but I think they're missing out. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour food..always looks so amazing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE homemade mac & cheese, and your photos are making me all homesick! I usually make a crumb topping and throw it in the oven until the top gets a bit crispy. It's a shame they don't really have a big selection of cheeses in this part of the world! xx
ReplyDeleteNot only do I love mac & cheese, but brussels sprouts are my absolute favorite! This is making me hungry for a midnight snack!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I love brussels sprouts! Those look delicious. Of course the mac & cheese doesn't sound too bad either, but if I had to choose one, the brussels sprouts would win. Is that weird?!
ReplyDeletethe brussel sprouts look delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks. So. Delish. Can I have some?
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are stunning!
mmm that looks super good, never thought of it with brussels yum!
ReplyDeletelooks delish! and I don't even like macaroni and cheese. I've never tried brussel sprouts, but maybe I'll have to make them -- you've inspired me!
ReplyDeletethat mac & cheese looks to die for. i think it's the extra cheese sprinkled on top. you can never have too much cheese.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds delish! Anything home made is always goooood!!!

ReplyDeleteYum the roasted brussel sprouts sound absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love homemade mac n cheese. The hardest part of living in Australia for me has been that the cheese just doesn't melt like it does back in the US.
looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've never ever tried brussel sprouts. Not yet. ;) I don't think I can find one here. Lol. But I agree, this looks amazing and delicious.
