1. How To Make Creamy Macaroni and Cheese on the Stove

Serves 4 to 6

What You Need

Ingredients

• 1 pound dried short pasta
• 1 1/2 cups whole or 2% milk, divided
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 to 3 cups shredded cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon powdered mustard
• Optional extras (cook before adding): Ham, bacon, onions, peas, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower

• Equipment
• Large pot
• Medium saucepan
• Whisk
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Colander or strainer
• Large serving bowl
• Mixing bowls

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta. Bring about 4 quarts of salted water to a boil over high heat in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Warm the milk. Place 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and flour in a small bowl and whisk together until there are no lumps. When you just start to see whisps of steam rising from the warming milk, whisk in the milk-and-flour mixture. Continue whisking gently until the milk thickens slightly to the consistency of heavy cream, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Make the cheese sauce. Turn the heat to low and begin mixing handfuls of cheese into the milk. Stir in the salt and mustard. Stir until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Remove the sauce from the heat.
4. Combine the pasta and cheese sauce. Place the pasta and 1/2 of the cheese sauce in a large serving bowl. Stir to coat the pasta evenly. Add the remaining sauce and any extra add-ins and stir to combine. If you'd like a looser sauce, add up to another 1/4 cup milk if desired. Serve the mac and cheese immediately while still warm.

Recipe Notes

Baked mac and cheese: If you have a little extra time, you can bake the macaroni and cheese to give it a golden crust. Pour the prepared mac and cheese into a casserole dish, cover with a lid or foil, and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and a few pats of butter, and bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the interior is bubbly.

2.  Easy Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

There are only 4 ingredients in this strawberry 

smoothie and if you really pushed yourself, I bet this could be a 30 second meal ;). The coconut milk makes it so smooth and delicious, but you can use a different base and work with almond milk, cows milk or even water if you’re counting those darn calories.

  5. How To Make Cheesecake
• Ingredients 

CRUST

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs OR zwieback crumbs
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) melted butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

FILLING

• 2 cups (2 large packages) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

TOPPING (OPTIONAL)

• 12 ounce bag frozen raspberries, a scant 3 cups
• 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar, to taste
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Pie Filling Enhancer; use 1 tablespoon for a looser sauce, 2 tablespoons for thicker
• pinch of ground cinnamon, optional

Instructions

1. Select a pie pan whose inside top dimension is at least 9", and whose height is at least 1 1/4". Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Make the crust by stirring together all of the crust ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.
3. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, making a thicker layer on the bottom than on the sides.
4. Make the filling by mixing together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, again mixing until smooth. To avoid beating too much air into the batter, use a mixer set at low-medium speed. To avoid lumps, make sure the cream cheese is softened, and/or at room temperature.
5. Set the pie pan onto a baking sheet, if desired; this makes it easier to transport in and out of the oven, and also protects the bottom of the crust from any potential scorching. Pour the filling into the crust.
6. Place the cheesecake in the oven. Bake it for 20 minutes, then add a crust shield; or shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the crust 1" from the edge should read between 165°F and 170°F; the filling won't look entirely set in the center.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and set it on a rack to cool while you make the topping. Once the cake is cool, refrigerate it, covered, until you're ready to serve it.
8. To make the topping, place the frozen raspberries in a bowl to thaw. You can hasten the process with a quick trip through the microwave, but don't let the berries cook.
9. Add 1 tablespoon Pie Filling Enhancer, and stir until well combined. Is the topping as thick as you like? If not, stir in another tablespoon Pie Filling Enhancer.
10. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste. Stir in a pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired.
11. Spoon the topping over the cheesecake, and cut slices to serve. Alternatively, cut slices, and top each with a dollop of topping.

Kinds of Sentences and Their Punctuation

      

A sentence may be one of four kinds, depending upon the number and type(s) of clauses it contains.

        Review:
        An independent clause  contains a subject, a verb, and a complete thought.
                
        A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb, but no complete thought.
                
           
1. A SIMPLE SENTENCE has one independent clause.
                
Punctuation note:  NO commas separate two compound elements (subject, verb, direct object, indirect object, subjective complement, etc.) in a simple sentence.
                      
           
2. A COMPOUND SENTENCE has two independent clauses joined by
        A.  a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so),
        B.  a conjunctive adverb (e.g. however, therefore), or
        C.  a semicolon alone.
                 
    Punctuation patterns (to match A, B, and C above):
        A. Independent clause, coordinating conjunction  independent clause.
        B. Independent clause; conjunctive adverb, independent clause.
        C. Independent clause; independent clause.
            
            
3. A COMPLEX SENTENCE has one dependent clause (headed by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun ) joined to an independent clause.
            
    Punctuation patterns (to match A, B, C and D above):
        A.  Dependent clause,  independent clause
        B.  Independent clause  dependent clause
        C.  Independent,    nonessential dependent clause,     clause.
        D.  Independent    essential dependent clause     clause.
              
                            
4. A COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE has two independent clauses joined to one or more dependent clauses.
        

Punctuation patterns:

Follow the rules given above for compound and complex sentences.

A compound-complex sentence is merely a combination of the two.

  

      

CONNECTORS--COMPOUND AND COMPLEX SENTENCES

Two independent clauses may be joined by

    1.  Coordinating conjunctions  (FANBOYS)         Ic,  and    ic

    2.  Conjunctive adverbs       Ic;    therefore,     ic.

      

A dependent (subordinate) clause may be introduced by

    1. Subordinating conjunctions (ADVERB CLAUSE)     Dc, ic.   or    Ic dc.

    2. Relative pronouns (ADJECTIVE CLAUSE)  I, dc,  c.    or      I  dc  c.

   3.  Relative pronoun, subordinating conjunctions, or adverbs (NOUN CLAUSE)

Clause

What is a Clause? Definition, Examples of Clauses in Sentences

Clause Definition: A clause consists of a subject and a verb and is the smallest grammatical unit that expresses a thought.

hat is a clause? In its simplest form, a clause in grammar is a subject plus a verb. The subject is the entity “doing” the action of the sentence and the verb is the action that subject completes. A clause creates a complete thought (an idea or a statement that can stand alone).

A complete thought is also called a main clause or independent clause (IC).

Examples of clauses:

• Subject + verb. = complete thought (IC)
• I eat. = complete thought (IC)
• Sharon speaks. = complete thought (IC)

A clause may include the verb predicate as well. But, it must include at least the subject and verb to be considered a clause.

Examples of clauses:

• Subject + verb (predicate). = complete thought (IC)
• I eat bananas. = complete thought (IC)
• Sharon speaks loudly. = complete thought (IC)

It should be noted, too, that a clause in a sentence is different from a phrase in that it must contain a subject and a verb.

What is an Independent Clause?

Independent clause definition: An independent clause can stand alone in a sentence. It contains a subject and a verb in its smallest form. A clause may also include modifiers and a verb predicate. It is a complete thought and the smallest unit of grammar that is syntactically accurate.

Example of Independent Clauses:

• Subject + verb (predicate). = complete thought (IC)
• I eat bananas. = complete thought (IC)
• Sharon speaks loudly. = complete thought (IC)

In writing, words and modifiers can be rearranged in independent clauses to create interest.

Example of Independent Clauses:

• I eat bananas in the kitchen.
• In the kitchen, I eat.

Here, “I eat” is the subject and verb. An object (“bananas”) and a prepositional phrase (“in the kitchen”) have been added to the clause to make it more specific. The entire sentence is an independent clause because it is a complete thought statement.

Outside Examples of Independent Clauses:

• While Uber says it is profitable in the US, Lyft has reportedly told investors it will lose $50 million a month this year. –New York Post

In the above example, Lyft has reportedly told investors it will lose $50 million a month this year is an independent clause.

What is a Dependent Clauses?

Dependent clause definition: Dependent clauses contain a subject and verb. However, they cannot stand alone as an independent thought. They must be joined with an independent clause to be grammatically correct.

Example of Dependent Clause:

• Every night before I go to bed, I eat bananas.

This example contains the IC, “I eat bananas.” However, a dependent clause now opens the sentence. While the dependent clause contains a subject and a verb (“I go”), the dependent clause itself cannot stand alone a complete thought.

Example of Dependent Clause:

• Every night before I go to bed

This is not a complete thought and therefore not a sentence in English. Every night before I go to bed…what happens? This idea must be joined with an independent clause to be grammatically correct.

Outside Examples of Dependent Clauses:

• While American forces will not be leading the ground war in Syria, they will be involved in military operations and working without proper authorization from Congress.
