Second of the second.

Dinner plans shifted about halfway through cooking: I'd planned to make boxed macaroni and cheese with some vegetables added in, but the vegetables ended up smelling so good, I ditched the cheese. Sauteed onions, garlic, and herbs with rapini and canned tomatoes might've taken well to the cheese sauce, but I'm pleased at how it came out just the same.

My new plan is to make boxed macaroni and cheese with double the cheese sauce at some point in the future, and feel absurdly luxurious for being able to do so.

Wise of you to ditch the cheese when the other add-ins presented themselves so well! I've tried boxed mac and cheese with veggies in the past and was disappointed by how little I ended up tasting the cheese sauce. Double cheese sauce in the future should be great!

I had one time where I added veggies to the boxed mac and cheese and somehow, between the tomatoes and the herbs and the cheese as a condiment, it came out tasting uncannily like pizza. I've been chasing that high ever since.
