Yummy, and a great resource for anyone looking for pictures of food.

I wanted to make homemade mac & cheese with some leftover ham, and for the life of me I cannot find my macaroni & cheese recipe book! It has our favorite recipe in there!
Anyone have a good mac & cheese recipe? Mine called for 3 cans of evaporated milk, but I’ll work with anything you all can find.
Thanks!

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Ingredients
- 4 large pork chops
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, purchased or home made, more as needed
Directions
Make the spice rub: mix together cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Trim any large areas of excess fat from the chops. Don’t bother with small bits, they help keep the meat from drying out. Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat and rub in. If time allows, wrap ribs in plastic wrap or put in a covered container and refrigerate for an hour or two.
Set up the grill for indirect heat, medium temperature. Grill the meat for approx 30 mins each side, any remaining fat should be crispy and brown (may take more or less time, depending on chop thickness and grill temperature). Brush with barbecue sauce when chops are almost done. Serve with extra barbecue sauce.

I have a friend who used to work for Hardee’s and he said that their biscuits are made from a mix, either adding milk or water, probably the latter. How can they say that they’re “made from scratch” when they’re not? From scratch (to me, a baker) means combining FRESH ingredients and immediately baking them. No one ever touted a Betty Crocker Chocolate Cake Mix as being from scratch.
In my opinion if you really want to make biscuits from scratch then this is the recipe to use.
