Not many recipes go into my recipe book unchanged, but this one does. It's your basic creamy mac & cheese recipe, but the way I see it, why mess with perfection? I'm not a huge fan of adding crackers or breadcrumbs, so if you're the same way you'll love this. I prepared the noodles and cheese sauce ahead of time so that it was only 30 minutes until it was on the table. I served it with brown sugar ham and broccoli - delicious, and definitely a hit with children.

Pretty good! I did make some modifications though, I used half of the vanilla, half of the baking powder and only a pinch of salt. I added a bit more flower to the batter too because I was worried it would be a little runny but it turned out fine. I only added about a tablespoon. I snuck some extra strawberries too :D My fiance thinks I'm weird, but I put a little peanut butter on them and it was very tasty!

I made this recipe last night for dinner because I was looking for some healthier asian recipes. If I make this again, I will probably make more of the sauce and maybe use less meat and more fresh veggies. I couldn't find flank steak at the store, so I just used the stir fry package with meat already cut into thin strips -- this helped save a lot of time too. All I had to cut up were the fresh garlic and ginger. A word of caution to all those thinking about making this recipe -- you will need a wok or a HUGE frying pan, because once you get to the end where everything needs to be mixed together, I was practically overflowing. Here's a little alternative than to mixing everything together. Using a seperate frying pan, put some oil, and fry the noodles after they have been drained. Keep stirring otherwise they may stick to the bottom. Add a little bit of your sauce (or just use soy sauce or terryaki sauce) to brown the noodles, then. After a minute or two, before the noodles start sticking to the bottom of the pan too much, remove them and put them in a large bowl. Then proceed with the last step by mixing the beef and veggies together, and then put those in the bowl as well and mix them together there.
