  2. Yum, looks delicious! I've been using cauliflower in place of half the noodles in my mac and cheese all winter, I'm going to have to try this variation.

    Even though I will never be swimsuit ready. That, for me, is a hopeless thing.

  7. I'm here bright and early because I can't resist chili mac. It is one of my all-time favorite casseroles and I couldn't wait to see what you've done with it. I ducked over to Marcus' site and can tell you you've tempted me to try this. I love the addition of the potatoes. Have a great day.Blessings...Mary

  23. Ooh yum, I love this idea! I've bookmarked about a million pumpkin mac and cheese recipes that for some reason I always forget to try, so maybe I'll have to try sweet potato instead!

  27. Swimsuit season is not something that falls on my calendar! Even so, this sounds like a really creative and tasty twist on the classic mac. Sweet potatoes and spice always seem to go so well together in just about any dish.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Wow, this dish is FILLED with tons of goodies. And I love that you included the light version, although I'm not sure if I'll abide by it. I'll just do a double workout at the gym :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. What an interesting combination of flavors! I love that you were able to incorporate the soy meat into the dish to get a little more protein in. That's one of my biggest problems when I make a pasta dish.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Now that looks comforting without all the guilt!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm realy looking forward to eat this, it looks great but healthy

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was just thinking I wanted mac and cheese!

    ReplyDelete
  33. We had mac and cheese Monday night - but it was certainly not healthy!

    ReplyDelete
  34. sounds yum! and tonight I am making a version of cassoulet inspired by you :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love sweet potatoes, but lately the only ones I can find are monsters - would feed the two of us for a week. Could make this and freeze it.... As to swimsuits....

    ReplyDelete
  36. I applaud wholeheartedly the marriage of monterey jack and chorizo!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great idea Joanne, looks delish!

    ReplyDelete
  38. this was absolutely decadent. next time I am doubling the recipe!

    cooked the SPs in the microwave and skipped the chipotle so it wouldn't be too spicy for the baby.

    mmmmm!!!!!!!!!
