  1. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted considering the fact that it contains cold macaroni & cheese. The only changes I made were to use just 2 hard boiled eggs and I didn't use the cucumber because I didn't have any at home. My husband even liked it. Very quick, easy side dish.
     
  2. Interesting spin on macaroni salad. I enjoyed this, however, DH couldn't get past the fact that it started with mac and cheese mix, and was less impressed.
     
  3. This made us a nice lunch today. DH could really taste the hard boiled eggs and think next time I will cut it down to 2. This was a nice and easy recipe; and such a surprize using mac and cheese this way. Thanks for the recipe Chef Dee. Made for Chef Dee Cookbook A Thon.
     
  4. I was definately intrigued by this recipe. It was suprisingly good. I doubled the recipe for the family and they did give me the looks over the color it, but they ate it. My only problem was trying to not think about all the calories in it after preparing the box and then adding the mayonnaise. I think I will make it again and it would be fun for a potluck dish.
     
  5. Who would have thought to use mac and cheese in a salad this way...turned out great.
