Gerard and I have been on the lookout for affordable truffle salt
and we finally found some at the Sur la Table in Walnut Creek. During our last conversation, my friend Melissa had told me about truffle mac and cheese so that's what we decided to have for dinner since we didn't really feel like cooking anything too complicated anyway.

Now we're not big on making things from scratch, but making things better. So at Safeway, we found triple rich mac and cheese and my chef husband sauteed some mushrooms and prosciutto to mix in, which he topped off with bread crumbs and the truffle salt before popping in the oven for a few minutes.
So there you have it. Semi-home made truffle mac and cheese which didn't even make it to the next day.
The truffle salt added this really rich, unique flavor to the mac and cheese. The flavor is so addicting, I've taken to just having a taste of the salt every now and then. But I've stopped now that my lips feel dry and cracked from too much sodium.
Visions of truffle salt enhanced dishes are swarming through my head... definitely can't wait to try it with some fresh french fries and popcorn too.
