It amazes me. That after 20 yrs together this man can still crave Kraft Mac and Cheese.
Truth be told he craves Kraft all the time. All his meals would be so much tastier with Kraft. Turkey........Kraft! Steak.........Kraft! Late night snack.........Kraft! But most importantly with Pork Chops.
Now you have to understand, I DISLIKE KRAFT MAC and CHEESE. I refuse to make it. I tried every way I could to separate my husband from this craving. I have made several gourmet cheese sauces over the years. From Fontina, Gouda, Cheddar and stooping as low as trying Velveeta. Nothing will fill his need. It must be Kraft.
So in order to make my husband happy and save my sanity. I will make him pork chops and mac, about every 3-4 months. That's it.
Look in our pantry any other given day and its Kraft free. In fact I get a good giggle when I quietly purchase the Kraft and then skillfully put it in the pantry. Only to then smile when my husband looking for a snack will stumble on the box. Releasing a shout of glee. Then a statement of anticipation, knowing he'll get his favorite meal pretty soon.
I love my husband and so Kraft-y concessions must be made. I do however stand firm in my refusal of Hamburger Helper. A woman's gotta draw the line somewhere!
Mark's Favorite Pork Chops (I'm pretty sure you can figure out the Mac and Cheese!):
Ingredients
5 Bone in Pork Chops
2-3 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Salt Pepper
Heat frying pan with Butter and Oil on med high heat. Salt and Pepper both sides of the chops. Fry them, turning them consistently from side to side. Remove from the pan a pit before doneness is reached. They will continue to cook on the serving dish.
