Do NOT substitute olive oil for butter when making macaroni and cheese! Can I just say YUCK?! Ugh, it was so gross, I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. I realized halfway through making my mac n cheese that I was out of butter, so I tried to figure out what else I could use and figured olive oil would work. Um, no! Seriously, that taste was just not right. It doesn't help that I think the olive oil I have is past it's prime and tastes a bit, uh, off. Ew, I can still smell it too. I need to find something strong to eat to chase the taste and smell from my memory.
LOL - I'm sorry, but I'm cracking up over here at your expense. Forgive me! It just doesn't even sound good LOL But, I can relate, because I can't tell you how many times I have started to make something and realized halfway through that I was out of an ingredient!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you know what I do? Just don't drain the macaroni as well and let the moisture help with the cheese.
ReplyDeleteI bet that was yucky!
If you're out of butter, just add more milk and some cheese, whatever you have around (but I usually keep some slices of american in the freezer for this reason).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I kow some people never use butter in their's but I've always used butter so I was so lost lol. If it happens again I'll just make it without it.
ReplyDeleteThat olive oil sounds gross. I think butter is so much better but yeah in a pinch just leave it out.
