I love these dishes with mornay sauces. A mornay sauce is just a classic white sauce of milk thickened with a roux that then has cheese melted into it. Today the cheese was Swiss but any cheese that melts well will work. I prefer the white cheeses but there is no reason a yellow cheese wouldn’t work-that is what mac ‘n cheese is all about!
I blanched some broccoli and some carrot slices along with some sweet corn and poured the sauce over the veggies and some shrimp in a buttered casserole. Sprinkle on some bread crumbs and bake until the cheese bubbles and the breading toasts a bit then spoon the mixture over noodles. These were egg noodles, most any pasta will work.
Enjoy!
I learned a new word today!

Speaking of guys in my office. One of my guys says that I’m the healthy solution in What’s 4 Dinner and you’re the All That solution to dinner! (You can guess which one he likes)

The “all that” reference I recognize as a cultural trope, tho I am only barely aware of what it means. I’m guessing it is a positive attribute. Lie to me if you have to! LOL

Let’s put it this way. Today he starts out (after munching down on my cake), “you know TaMara, your lettuce wraps look ok, but they just don’t compare to Jeff’s wings. Yum!”

Well, he has a point about the wings. I put a link to a flickr pic of them on reddit that drew 750+ views, and one of those viewers loaded the pic onto a post on his tumblr blog that drew a bunch of “likes” and reblogs. This guy is the first in a long chain of link-backs: http://xxxsc0ttyxxx.tumblr.com/post/8362010745
I’m not complaining-the pictures all go back to my page when clicked on.
