Kicked Up Mac-N-Cheese

 

 

 

 

One of the reasons this blog was started was that I have noticed an ever increasing number of men who have custody of their children. 1 Peter 3:7 mentions women as "the weaker vessel." While undefined in scripture, any man who has been married can state the reasons for this designation.

 

Women tend to function more on emotion rather than logic, have a natural enmity towards men and generally lack accountability and reason. Thus, it is not surprising that during possibly the worst economy in our history, (due to population differences, more people are suffering now than during the Great Depression) more women are losing their marbles. Couple this with the feminization of America where more women are doing things that only men used to and it's easy to see why more men are getting custody of/taking care of the kids.

 

In a way, I'm kind of surprised more men don't cook regularly since the operation is similar to assembling machine components, but, instead of ending up with a functioning machine, you end up with a functional meal, provided the ingredients have been properly put together. So, although women have traditionally been associated with cooking, I'd still rate cooking as a masculine thing.

 

Now, a lot of people today are selfish and consider their kids more of an inconvenience rather than the gift they are, but if you are a conscientious father and love your kids and want to take proper care of them, then hook them up with some good food.

 

Ideally, we should be feeding our children fresh non-genetically modified food but the reality is that you buy what you can afford. At a minimum, you can provide a tasty meal for your children dads.

 

Most kids love macaroni and cheese, but there are some things you can do to make a good thing better:

 

1) After following the box directions on how to make your mac and cheese, add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream and mix it in. My son and his friends love this.

 

2) You can make bacon mac and cheese. If you do not want to cook the bacon yourself, you can buy it pre-cooked or just get a jar of real bacon bits and stir in the bits. YUM!!

 

3) You can do seafood mac and cheese. An 8oz package of fake crab legs, cut up and stirred in is really tasty. You can use shrimp or whatever other similar seafood you want as well.

 

4) If you have leftover meat such as pork, steak or chicken then cut it up and add it to the mac and cheese. (Cut up hot dogs work well also.)

 

You can also buy shredded cheese and add extra cheese to the already cheesy goodness.

 

You don't have to get too fancy, just do something that is a bit extra that will further reinforce how much you love your kids. The memories of dad's semi home cooking will stay with them forever.
