Escape From Sane by Blogarella

Some days, you just don’t have time to care about what is being put on your dinner table.  Sadly, Blogarella feels like this most days, and uses pregnancy as her scapegoat.  Why?  Because she’s carrying the future Miss America in her womb, therefore she gets to pull the “tired” card more often than most.  Blogarella encourages other pregnant women to do this, and while you are at it, go ahead and say anything you want to your man, anything!  You can always blame it on the hormones later.  Its not often in life where you will get a  get-out-of-jail-free card that lasts for 9 months, so embrace it, nuzzle it, rub it all over your naked body! 

Blogarella hasn’t shopped, and thinks its perefectly acceptable to eat frozen pizza with self rising crust most nights of the week.  Mr. Blogarella does not agree with this, something about nutrition?  I don’t know, mostly I think he just despises the world of convenience and uses nutrition as a scapegoat (sounds familiar).  Sometimes when he is in the middle of a nutrition related rant, I hum Dolly Parton songs in my head to block out the noise, sort of like I used to do as a kid when my brother would play really crappy records.  Last night was the usual “We have a frozen pizza” discussion, the one that Blogarella hardly ever wins.  Therefore, a meal of uber-convenience, little effort, and high flavor had to happen, somehow.  So I present “When Mac & Cheese Alone Won’t Cut It!”  I am confident this is not the last time I will have to turn mac & cheese into something slightly more fabulous, so here is take 1:

Tuna Mac & Cheese

1 Box of Mac & Cheese (the stuff that has to gooey cheese envelope included)

2 Cans of tuna fish

Italian style Breadcrumbs

Garlic

Pepper

1.  Boil mac & cheese according to instructions on box.  When its done, drain the water, and dump the mac into a bowl.  Add the 2 cans of tuna fish (make sure you work some magic on this with a fork first, unless you like super chunky tuna bites).  Sprinkle some garlic powder and pepper on top.  Add cheese and stir.  Gradually add some breadcrumbs to the mix, and voila – or something like that!
