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?

@LisaSimpsonsbff

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

Macaroni cheese should never be bland if it is made properly. It is my favourite meal- unfortunately I am in a healthy eating and exercise phase and am avoiding it. It is the food of the Gods.

M 3 year old DD wept real tears this morning because she wanted a round egg, not an egg shaped egg and I am naughty to not buy round eggs.

@WinWinnieTheWay

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

That is what a sprinkling of parsley (or chives) is for!

I can't imagine spinach in macaroni cheese adds any taste or texture other than bits between your teeth.

You make me sick OP.

I made my kids a beige banquet of chicken nuggets, fish nuggets (posh fish fingers), onion rings, mozzarella sticks and chips tonight. With a load of ketchup. And yes, it was all from Iceland for extra chav points. That is proper Saturday night food! Or pizza.

I really like spinach (not not in macaroni cheese) - it needs ham or bacon and then peas by the side.

@Fatted

The DC want to come and live with you..

My macaroni is always bland - anyone have a winning recipe they can share?

always spinach and shock horror broccoli in ours. The only way they will eat green stuff

I do agree with your dc OP, spinach has no place in macaroni cheese.
In a curry perhaps...
If it makes you feel better, I was often accused of ruining my dc WHOLE
LIFE not just Saturday night 😆

Love spinach, don't think I'd put it in macaroni cheese but willing to try it.
I used to make a delicious Annabel Karmel recipe when my son was a baby Popeye Pasta. Spinach wilted then blended with cream cheese and a bit of cheddar, poured over pasta. I still make it now.

@Fatted
I want to come and live with you too!!

You ruined it. Spinach doesn’t belong on a Saturday.

@Fatted I don't like onion rings but can I come to live with you too?

Tell them there’s always beans on toast.

Noooooooo

The most comforting meal ever is cauliflower and macaroni cheese - the best of two magnificent dishes!

Spinach in macaroni cheese?! Fuck no. I love both but they do not belong together, you monster

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

Absolutely. I love spinach and add it to practically everything. Mac and cheese is 🤢

It looks nice though!

It was beige. At least you added the red sauce for a bit of colour. My oldest boy is 30 and would want to marry you.

Please share your wonderful mac and cheese recipes if you would be so kind!

I've now also confessed to using fusilli, a breadcrumb and cheese topping and a chipped bowl.

I always put spinach in my macaroni cheese. And cauliflower and crispy pancetta. It’s SOO good

A vegetable in a Saturday night tea?!

What kind of monster are you OP

😱😡

DH put garlic in our most recent mac & cheese. I was not happy. He's never done it before! Just heaps of good strong cheddar is all you need. I mean I ate it but I wasn't happy.

He launched a defence campaign because we didn't have macaroni pasta so it was fusilli therefore wasn't mac & cheese so normal rules didn't apply.
