If you're interested in old recipes, there is a guy on youtube, Glen and Friends, who does recipes from old cook books, some of them are quite old. And Emmy Made In Japan often does depression era recipes as well as more modern odd recipes. She has also done prison recipes. I find them interesting.
I made mac and cheese following an ATK recipe. It is a one pan recipe, you take 1.5 cup of water and one cup of milk, bring it up to a simmer and then add 8 ounces of mac and cook it 6-8 minutes. Do not drain, then add 1 cup shredded American cheese (from a deli block that you shred yourself as the pre-sliced singles are often made from a different recipe) on the heat and stir until melted, then take it off the heat and add 1 cup shredded cheddar, stir in, add 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, cover and let the cheddar melt. Now it's ready but you can prepare a simple bread crumb topping it you want.
It's all pretty simple but I don't keep American cheese on hand so I subbed mozzarella from an package that was opened from my last pizza. That, I believe, is where it went wrong, maybe I should not have used the mozzarella and doubled up on the cheddar. As you can guess now, I was not real happy with the results. I'll have to give this recipe another try, this time using the correct cheeses.
Yeah, put it up on a wall and throw a dart at it.
Actually, if you review what you are doing you should be able to narrow it down.

I made a pizza in a cast iron pan for dinner.
I had an overripe banana so I made banana waffles with it. I added the banana to the liquid ingredients, milk - egg - oil - honey, and liquified it with an immersion blender that I recently bought then added the dry ingredients, which was Arrowhead Mills pancake mix. It came out pretty good and I have leftover waffles for the next day or two.
That looks real good Mike.
I had a small ribeye steak, bow tie pasta and broccoli.
I made fried rice with brown rice, red cabbage, carrot and mushrooms.
Cwcdesign, Happy Birthday! Your B'day cake sounds delicious!
A stuffed pepper, spaghetti and broccoli.
The Baker's Companion is one book I rarely use. Because of this post I pulled it off the shelf and thumbed through it, I found an oatmeal cookie recipe that I might try, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I won't be buying the new edition. With the internet and youtube, recipe books are a tough sell to me.
I took some stuffed peppers from the freezer and baked them upside down to drain off the excess fat, then turned them right side up and put in a can of tomatoes I had pureed, returned them to the oven to finish. Had it with spaghetti and green beans.
I pulled some meatballs from the freezer and had it with spaghetti.
I had leftover roasted chicken, sauteed some red cabbage to which I added noodles and defatted chicken drippings.
