Deli Crab Salad - 30 Days 30 Recipes - Day 26

Day 26?  Really?  It somehow feels like I've just started this challenge and simultaneously have been doing it forever.  It's weird.

Today's recipe is a crab salad that, like the pasta salad, I was reluctant to try.  I'm so glad I did, though.  It is very tasty and I definitely want to make it again.  Initially I thought the addition of mustard to a seafood salad would be weird.  Boy was I wrong!  It totally made the flavor perfect.

If you are a seafood lover and want to mix it up, give this salad a go.  I liked it and I hope you will too!

Easy Mac and Cheese - 30 Days 30 Recipes - Day 13

It looks so good...

I remember making this one a while back and I remember not liking it much then.  I still am not a fan.  Sadly, I cannot recommend this recipe.  My husband and daughter liked it well enough, but if you want a good mac and cheese, this low fat version won't cut it.  It tastes more like creamy chemicals.  Sorry to the inventor of this recipe, whoever you are.  I won't be making this again.
