My DC just told me that I've ruined Saturday night...

[WinWinnieTheWay]

By adding spinach to their Macaroni Cheese.
Spinach is only ok on a week day apparently. Who knew?

To be fair, I'm with your DC...

I say this as someone who loves spinach, but yes, you've ruined it.

Yep... why would you?

You monster.

#TeamDC.

Spinach in macaroni cheese is a travesty, and I love spinach!

I'm so with you, OP! Kale is even better than spinach but macaroni cheese is really bland without some veg in it but amazing with a green veg added in

Mmmmm. Cheesy spinach.

cheeky monkeys.
I'm of the opinion that mac and cheese has ruined the spinach.

If your macaroni cheese is bland you're using the wrong recipe.

Mine isn't bland, because I add lovely veg to it! Actually I don't think it's the taste that's bland if it's just pasta and sauce, it's the texture - every mouthful identical, it's just a bit bleh

Abomination.

That's awful! On the side is passable but not in the macaroni. On the weekend.

A bit of crispy pancetta and spinach is very tasty 😋

I think we'd need police horses in the lounge for the rioting that would take place if I desecrated the sacred and all hallowed macaroni that is cheese like that. . .

Kinda have to agree..it’s Saturday, an excuse for less of the healthy stuff..lovely for a week night though and I’d throw brocolli in too.
Tonight I made homemade pizza and was going to add salad, but then thought ‘Nah, I really only want the yummy stuff’
Do like salad and veg etc, but we eat so healthily all week..bring on the junk 😂

I'm with you OP. We often have spinach in our macaroni cheese, and DCs are very happy with it. Sometimes I wilt fresh leaves into the sauce, other times I use defrosted spinach and blend it into the cheese sauce to make Monster Macaroni Cheese.

We also like it with flageolet beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and spinach in it.

I thought the pop of colour would add interest...

Put bacon in it if you want a pop of colour.

Spinach? good greif.

Macaroni cheese shouldn’t be bland, if it is then you’re not using strong enough cheese. Spinach is wrong, but bacon yes.

I'm with you op. Though I prefer broccoli, spinach is good too.

When I leave it plain it just seems boring.

I remember when we were visiting my grandparents we had to have boiled potatoes, carrots and peas with macaroni cheese. Almost completely ruined my favourite meal.

Monster Macaroni Cheese

That's very clever, PP. My children would not be buying that, however. Particularly on a Saturday night!
Methinks some ice cream might be in order!

They should LTM (leave the macaroni ruiner)

FFS! Why did I open this thread?!?

I want macaroni cheese now and I'm on a diet.

You need a trigger warning added to your title OP
