Product Review + Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese!

Do you ever get tired of cleaning baking dishes or annoyed when you forget your bakeware at a friend's house? Duh, of course you do! Well, my friends over at Chinet sent me an awesome care package to test out and use when cooking that alleviates both of these problems! Chinet is now offering a new line of disposable bakeware that is perfect for anyone on the go. Chinet's Bakeware allows you to go from the oven to the table to the fridge and microwave. Unlike aluminum baking pans, it's sturdy and won't bend or break under pressure!  Take it to a party or holiday dinner, no need to worry about extra cleaning or leaving it behind. Did I mention it's made of 90% recycled materials? Needless to say, I am loving my Chinet Bakeware!

Now, I was a little skeptical at first. I mean, this stuff is super light weight and I wasn't sure how it would hold up in the oven. Boy, was I wrong! The dish came out as perfect as when it went into the oven. The food stayed hot and the bakeware remained sturdy. Best of all, they come with tops so you can store it in the fridge and toss it out when you're done. No more cleaning, yay!

A few things to remember: The lids are only made for room temperature and refrigerator use. Also, Chinet Bakeware should not be used for dishes requiring baking at 400 degrees F or higher.

Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

1 (16 oz) box seashell pasta
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons black pepper
8-10 oz smoked Gouda cheese, shredded

--------------------------------------------------

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 10in baking dish. Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and a dash of salt to keep them from sticking. Cook pasta for about 8 minutes until tender and drain. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to saucepan and cook with butter until a foux forms. Stir in milk, salt and pepper until well combined. Add in shredded smoked Gouda and increase heat. Stir mixture until cheese is melted and sauce is thick. In the 10in baking dish combine pasta and cheese sauce. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

  7. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
