  • Lazy Weeknight LOADED Mac N Cheese for 2 (One-Pot)
    I have three problems with mac n cheese. One: Mac n cheese is a comfort food, so, naturally, it doesn’t care about your macros. Traditionally full of fat, low in protein and high in carbs, in my diet it’s been limited to a rare-occasion side dish. Problem number two is that quick mac n cheese usually comes in a box. And with that box comes not-so-healthy additives that I routinely avoid. Third, a lot of homemade macs just aren’t creamy enough to satisfy the craving that box mac satisfies so well. This loaded mac n cheese recipe solves all three of these problems in just 12 minutes.

Those little side notes are far superior than you having a whole separate video on how to cook chicken, although those videos are great too. I appreciate how you took 2 mins to explain the things you cook with to give me a full understanding of how you cook

    What if… what if I used condensed milk instead😟

    • @ethanpaff
      @ethanpaff  Před rokem +2

      Good question. Condensed milk doesn’t contain any emulsifiers like the disodium phosphate that evaporated milk has. Also, condensed milk is sweetened (I don’t know of any that isn’t), so that might be a little weird in mac n cheese.
      Alternatives for a creamy sauce: American cheese (minimum 50% of the dish’s total cheese amount), homemade sodium citrate (look that up, it’s pretty cool), and even egg yolk (like a carbonara).
      I hope this helps.

    • @ethanpaff
      @ethanpaff  Před rokem

      Insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides are all categories of pesticide. The idea is to limit pesticide exposure as much as possible. Organic may still get pesticide exposure, but (hopefully) less than conventional. That’s the idea, anyway.

      @@ethanpaff Yes, I never said it wasn't a pesticide, you just posted a link to approved insecticides. Which, again isn't the main reason for the classification of organic vs conventional. The main thing that classifies organic mushrooms vs conventional is the growing substrate and the nitrogen source (synthetic urea vs chicken fertilizer). Both organic and conventional get some sort of pesticide on them at some point in the production.
