Eileen, I can see 12 servings as a small side dish. Now kids who eat mac n' cheese as a meal...well, no. Let us know how it is. Of course I enjoy good ole' blue box every now and again but always add some real cheese to the mix. I love macaroni and cheese with sliced homegrown tomatoes. Yummy!

There is no way that 8 oz of any pasta is going to make 12 servings, not even as a side dish.

Hard to believe you could feed four kids a side of mac and cheese along with a main course with just 8 ounces of pasta.

It will probably work with the really fine kind of cake meal. I have issues with M. cake meal. I think it tastes like the sands of the desert that the Israelites crossed and is meant to remind us of eating dust before we entered the Promised Land. But, yeah, even when I've made non-Passover sponge cakes they've been with separated eggs and no fat, or occasionally a chiffon with a bit of oil, for something denser, like honeycake. I don't want a rich, butter sponge cake! I want it to be poofy and puff out air when you bite it and be all eggy and light as down. Though a thoroughly Jewish way to make it rich is to top it with sour cream. :) I don't think it's probably a good combination if you didn't grow up with it, but orange or almond sponge cake with sour cream is one of those remembered delights from childhood. :) Joy of Baking has a nice article about sponges and other "foam" cakes. I think my resistance to the butter is about blurring. Butter cakes are rich, moist, a little sticky. Sponge cakes are fluffy, light, a little crumbly. They have such different crumbs. Trying to make a sponge with butter to prove that you can by whipping enough is a fun experiment, but if you put a slice of it and a slice of butter cake next to each other, you won't get as much of that feeling that you're eating two different cakes! Everything blurs to the center, when all of the interesting stuff is at the edges.

I don't know if we will be going somewhere or staying home yet so that will make a difference. Pretty sure ham will be involved either way. If we stay home I would love to have hubby put a ham in the pit I love smoked bbq ham. as to recipes they are extremely difficult to copyright and rarely are because the change of one or 2 ingredients or amounts makes it a different recipe. And for giving the credit to the original how the heck would you know the original creator for a recipe that has been handed down for generations, I have a collection of church cookbooks from Louisiana and the South and Jr. League cookbooks. I can not tell you how many have the same exact recipes in them which were "contributed" by someone. That is what is done recipes are contributed and then often times the person who contributed it their name gets added on as a way to remember it. I have recipes I have contributed for years to various forums etc many have my name attached now, I didn't do that others did. Now when I do have an original recipe that I created my very own self I will say this is an original. I may later see my original recipe re-posted somewhere with out giving me credit or even with someones name attached. That means it must have been pretty good because it is being passed around! Enjoying them is the pay off! Glenda I have so many of my cookbooks that look just like yours, very loved LOL.

I love the sound of your sandwiches, Glenda. You had quite a spread today and everything sounds so good. I'd love some homemade applesauce. How was that hot corn dip? I have Trisha Yearwood's recipe but haven't been anyplace to take it--and I sure don't need that temptation around :-) Everyone raves over it, or so I hear.

I can't imagine macaroni cooked for hours in a crock pot....maybe it swells up so much it WILL feed 12?

I made crock pot mac and cheese once. It was really very good, and the only reason I don't make it more often in there is that I forget about it. Plus, I tend to freeze mine and bake it when I'm ready for it, and the crock-pot version makes a lot (so I can see 12 servings as a side). I don't know Trisha Yearwood's recipe, but mine had some eggs in it, which made it puff up nicely. It was actually much better than some of the meat that has come out of my crockpot, so if I could find that darn recipe, I might make it again.

Would you mind sharing your recipe?

I found a recipe on-line (link below) and it looks like the macaroni is an afterthought as something to bind the cheese to (LOL). The recipe contains TWO 10-ounce bricks of cheddar cheese (grated - or about 5-cups of cheese).

A serving of cooked pasta/macaroni is 1/2-cup (approx. 100-calories), which equals one bread/grain serving, and 1-ounce of cheese is a serving.
