Baked Macaroni and Cheese

On Black Friday, I found out that macaroni and cheese is a traditional Thanksgiving food for a lot of people, so I'm making it next year. Fortunately my mother's place of employment had comfort food day last weekend, which allowed me to try making it. I intended to make white cheddar macaroni and cheese; however no grocery stores in the area carry shredded white cheddar and I was on a deadline. I ended up using extra sharp cheddar with cavatappi pasta (instead of elbows- I'm fancy) and buttered bread crumbs on top. I'm not a cheese fan, but my parents both raved about it. I'll try making the white cheddar macaroni and cheese some time in January. I really liked making something savory for once!

Bacon and Caramelized Onion Quiche

I made this as an experiment for my parents. They liked it, but the house smelled like onions for days afterward. Since I don't intend to sell quiche, this is a special occasion thing. 

I Can Cook. Seriously.

I know it isn't a baked good, but this soup is amazing. I came across the recipe when flipping through a Williams-Sonoma catalog, and determined I needed to try it. Now I make it once a week. It's pretty easy, albeit time consuming, so if it looks like something you'd like and you have the time, I recommend trying it.
