Dinner for 4

 
Salad with Sunflower Sprouts and Grapefruit
Lobster Mac & Cheese
Cheesecake Pops

It is cold and blowing outside but inside tonight we are having a wonderful bright salad and comforting lobster macaroni and cheese.  Just a quiet night with four of the five family home members for dinner tonight.


The salad is spinach, sunflower sprouts, red onion, and grapefruit with a dressing that included grapefruit juice, thai chillies, green onion, oil, salt, pepper and a little rice wine vinegar.


The lobster Macaroni and cheese was made based on this recipe by Barefoot Contessa.  However, I just used panko bead crumbs for the topping instead of the butter infused crumbs from the recipe.  My husband has been asking me to make this dish and he loved it.  I made a couple without lobster for the girls but our youngest preferred the lobster.  I had enough to prepare a few extra small dishes which I froze for quick easy meals.


Our youngest requested cheese cake for tonight because her brother (our resident cheesecake expert) had made one for the event he was going to but left none for us.  Since I had no time to get a cheesecake made we settled on President Choice Cheese Cake Pops.  The salted toffee were better than the triple chocolate  but I think we all prefer the creations made by our own expert.
