Well if I make hospital-worthy stuff it encourages me to stay within portion sizes. I've done that with cheese-based dishes before where I eat more than I should then just lie in bed waiting for death to take me for my transgressions.

Mmm, powder? Interesting. In other news, I have about 30 boxes of mac and cheese in my cabinet since they were on clearence for 33 cents. It's fast, easy, and sometimes better than spending $30 on two people.

One of my many macs:
1 c sharp cheddar
1 c colby jack
1 c mild cheddar
1 c farmers cheese
1 box, 16-20oz celentani noodles
1/2 c whole milk
1/2 c 1/2 and 1/2
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 c panko bread crumbs

I honestly have about six different ways of making this depending on how cheesey, how firm, how condensed, etc I want it, but these are the hits.
