i think its less about whether or not they can figure out how to weigh it, and more about the ridiculousness of asking for nine tenths of a pound. get a pound, pop a few more slices of turkey on your sandwich and be done with it. learning to "just deal with" the "basic quarter pound increments" shouldn't really be too hard when you're asking for 9/10... are you really going to worry about 1/10 of a pound? thats only 1.6 ounces!

Dream Protein in Rich Dutch Chocolate is actually so so so so good. If you want something to add into your smoothies the Creamy French Vanilla flavor is perfect! I don't think it comes in small sizes but I promise you'll like it, there's really nothing not to like! I was more than surprised to taste it and it was actually super tasty!

Really yummy wake-you-up morning shake: The chocolate dream protein, peanut butter and banana (and ice lol). OMG so ridiculous!

also I'm not sure but the website on the container led me to here:
http://www.firstshake.com/
where I think you can buy it online if you can't find it in stores. That also has all the info about it.

And one more thing, When I got mine I got a little shaker thing that came with it, and in the mornings, I'll drop some ice cubes in there and then shake it all up so that it's cold when I drink it. Super fantastic!

Mmm. That looks so delicious!! I completely agree with Mario, but Krit has it right ^^ To each, his own! ...or till they realize that he's right haha

I make this all the time but to attempt to cut calories, I substitue with skim milk and Sargento reduced fat cheeses. This does not diminish the taste.

Wowza! I subbed good swiss cheese for the gruyere ($5 vs $10...) and I think it was still super delish. My friend is a high-end chef from a southern restraunt and he wouldn't stop high-fiving me! Seriously, my mouth gaped with the two huge plate-sized servings he dished up. He he! (Only drawback is the amount of dishes it dirtied in the process... Martha is always making me do tons of dishes...)

I made this dish for my Father-in-laws final birthday. I could not believe how fabulous it was. I was so happy that I spent the extra money and bought high quality cheese. I can't wait for it to get cold out so I can truly enjoy this winter comfort food!

This recipe rocks!!! A twist on this recipe to make it a bit more impressive for company is to add 3 tablespoons white truffle oil at the same time you are adding the spices and to substitute 1 1/2 cups panko for the buttered breadcrumbs. As I am usually cooking for only 2 people- I will bake this in 8 mini-loaf pans instead of a casserole dish. Then I can easily freeze it in meal sized portions.

A few months ago our family compared Martha's recipe to Patty Labelle's and Patty won hands down. The only change I made to her recipe was to substitute Butter Kase for the Gruyere. Here it is.

Over-the-Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe created by Patti LaBelle

Patti LaBelle says that the sure sign of a good cook is if their macaroni and cheese will make you cry! According to Oprah, Patti's version just might bring tears to your eyes.

Ingredients:Serves 4 to 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup (8 ounces) Velveeta , cut into small cubes
2 large eggs , lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.

Bring the large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil, then the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.

In a small saucepan, melt eight tablespoons of the butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the Muenster, mild and sharp Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses. To the macaroni, add the half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, the cubed Velveeta, and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and dot with the remaining one tablespoon of butter.

Bake until it's bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
