Happy Thanksgiving!

When we think Thanksgiving, many of us know what is in mind. Delicious turkey, stuffing, and scrumptious sides. For those of us who aren't the most innovative cooks, deciding on what to make for the meal can be difficult. A-1 Home Care presents a recipe suggestion that could make a starring dish on the table.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper

Topping:

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.

Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.

Hospice Care for Seniors in Calabasas

In China, the highest respects are paid to elders at the end of life. Senior loved ones with family and spouses traditionally receive elaborate burials in which a three humped casket houses the body. Food is placed in front of the coffin as an offering, and loved ones burn joss papers and prayer money to ensure that the deceased has plenty of money in the afterlife.

It's interesting to see how different cultures practice rituals for death. While many elements are similar, there are also many differences. A-1 Home Care provides experienced hospice caregivers to seniors and adults in the Calabasas area. We practice culturally sensitive care and gladly follow any preferences or specifications required for your elderly loved one.
