Recipe Monday: Mac n Cheese Spring Rolls

If you’ve been following me a while you may have noticed I have an obsession with one NY eatery in particular; more specifically one dish. The Mac N Cheese spring rolls at Cafeteria (17th and 7th if you’d like to go).

I’d been wanting to learn how to make spring rolls for quite a while, and I finally tried my hand at some of my own mac n cheese filled rolls.

Start with a pack of Mac n Cheese, some spring roll wraps from your local grocery store, and some oil.

Make the macaroni as you would normally. My cat maven was eager to help and get things started while the pasta cooked, as you can see.

When the macaroni is finished and cheesed, bring the spring roll squares, one at a time, filling with two tablespoons of macaroni and then folding similar to a burrito; or according to these guidelines:

Place them, one at a time, in a frying pan with plenty of oil. Use tongs to evenly cook/fry each side of the roll.

Let cool, and voila!

Now, trust me, they are NOWHERE near as good as Cafeteria’s. My dad suspects they use Gruyere cheese in the macaroni, and I was also lacking the smoked gouda dipping sauce. In any event, my family loved them, my brother ate about 5, so they can’t be all bad!

Next time, though, I’m trying different cheeses! I WILL perfect them!

Work. Preview Party. Drinks. Dinner. Stripclub.

Wednesday I found out just what Thursday had in store for me…so Wednesday night was spent contemplating a versatile outfit that can go from work to the Satya Jewelry blogger preview, to drinks, to dinner, and then to the strip club. It was difficult to say the least, but I settled on this white dress from Rainbow with my gifted Qupid heels and some black accessories.

I’ll do a full post on Satya later, but for now, on to dinner and after. We had dinner at this lovely fusion restaurant called Ma Peche. I’m generally not a fan of Vietnamese food, but my tofu spring roll was quite good, as were my veggie rice noodles.

After plenty of wine there, we went on to a Rose at a local strip club for some kicked back fun. Needless to say, we had a bit too much fun and the night went crazy.
