Day 85 (6.02.12): Sweet Macaroni Salad (the Cheeseasaurus Rex's High)


Sweet Macaroni Salad
Status: Homemade
Satisfaction: 10.


The Cheeseasaurus Rex always seemed a bit overly excited by his bowl of mac and cheese.

I think it's the perception-altering drugs they include in that "powdered cheese."

Recipe under the cut!
Sweet Macaroni Salad

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
- 1 bag frozen or fresh chopped vegetables of your choice (peas, carrots, etc.)
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar

1. Bring lightly salted pot of water to a boil. Add macaroni pasta and cook at medium rolling boil for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Place in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cook frozen vegetables as instructed, or prepare fresh chopped vegetables by steaming or blanching them. Dry and add to large mixing bowl.
