Quick Dinner Recipe: One-Bowl Microwave Macaroni and Cheese
Recipes from The Kitchn
There was a time when a certain bunny-shaped pasta with instant cheese mix figured prominently in our weekly meal plan. Now we turn to a quick dinner solution that's just as easy and, dare we say, much tastier!
We originally got the idea for making macaroni and cheese in the microwave from Beth Sheresh in her book Picture Yourself Cooking With Your Kids. In the book, she includes a recipe for a full batch of mac n' cheese made entirely in the microwave and using only a handful of very basic ingredients.
Inspired by her example, we thought we'd try for a single-serving version made right in the bowl. This recipe is perfect for those nights when we're bone tired and get home late to an empty cupboard.
The beauty of this macaroni and cheese is also that you can jazz it up however you like. It's good to have at least a little melting cheese like cheddar, jack, or provolone to get the creamy sauce, but you can add goat cheese, gorgonzola, feta, or any other bits of cheese you have in the fridge. You can also add diced tofu, shredded pieces of leftover meat, or diced vegetables, which will steam as the pasta cooks. A few pinches of spices also amp up the flavor.
All in all, a very satisfying and extremely fast one-bowl meal!
One-Bowl Microwave Macaroni and Cheese
1/2 cup macaroni pasta
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk, any percent
1/4-1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or any other cheese that suits your fancy)
Combine the pasta, the water, and the salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 2-minute intervals until the pasta is al dente, stirring between each interval. This should take about 6-8 minutes total. If the pasta absorbs all the water before the pasta is cooked, add another 2 tablespoons of water.
Stir in the milk and the cheddar cheese. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second intervals until the cheese has melted into a creamy sauce, stirring between each interval and 1-1.5 minutes total. For a creamier sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk and cheese.
Optional Add-Ins - Add any of these along with the milk and cheese. Diced onions, diced peppers, diced tomatoes, leftover meat (shredded or cubed), a few tablespoons of salsa, 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.

But by my count, this still takes about 10 minutes -- which is how long regular stove top mac-n-cheese takes, so why not just do it on the stove?
Because sometime the thought of dirtying an extra pot is just more than you can deal with.
I love this.
But if you have some sort of recipe that creates mac and cheese in less than ten minutes, please share. I apparently have been missing out my whole life.
it's called Kraft Dinner but I suspect that that's just a Canadian thing.
except that you can make this with real cheese instaed of cheese food like the stovetop brands use. i like! plus, sometimes you really only want to make enough food for one person.
mlleErica, by "regular stove-top" do you mean the boxed stuff? I'd rather eat real cheese than the powder in those things, so this is definitely an improvement. And you get to pick your own macaroni, another plus.
I once substituted sour cream when out of milk. My child wouldn't eat it, but it was a delicious improvement.
we sometimes mix in a can of Amy's spicy vegetarian chili with Annie's boxed macaroni and cheese for a quick weeknight meal. it's spicy and cheesy and delicious (and slightly "healthy" what with the protein packed into the chili). i'm not sure about microwaved macaroni but this interesting...i would just boil the noodles then follow the instructions for melting in the cheese and milk.
Hmm... this looks kinda cool, but I do think I could just manage stovetop mac n' cheese in ten minutes. And no, not the boxed kind, but a real stovetop version with a roux and all, provided I a) chose a pasta that cooks in 8 minutes or less, and b) boiled the pasta cooking water in the kettle first, to save time. But then I love mac n' cheese, so I have lots of practice!
My only worry with this recipe is, wouldn't the bowl be terribly hot? I imagine with all the nuking that I'd have to transfer the pasta to another bowl to eat it.
Kate, that sounds so good! I must try adding some sour cream some time...
@lyrabella – Oh no! Not the boxed stuff. What I do when I'm craving quick mac-n-cheese is boil 2 handfulls of elbow macaroni, drain, then grate in a handful of cheddar, a pat of butter, and a bit of milk or half and half. Just as easy as the box stuff but 10 times as good.
though baked mac with the crispy bread crumb crust is the all time best ever.
I second the vegetarian chili and mac and cheese. I make Emeril's vegetarian chili in large batches in my crock pot, and freeze it for those nights I don't want to cook.
My mom used to always boil the macaroni in the microwave, but we used Kraft Delux (Kraft Dinner, in Canada, so it's not just a Canadian thing) mac and cheese. Now I use Annie's, but I'll give this a shot, it sounds lovely.
Thanks for riffing on my recipe!
mlleErica, Ele, the recipe was designed so kids could do it alone or with minimal help, thus no stove. Plus, it's a great example of kitchen magic: looks like it's not working until right at the end when "poof" it becomes mac and cheese. So kids love it.
I do loved the boxed stuff-- but only Annie's shells and cheese, or the Trader Joe's mac & cheese.
@mlleErica: Your recipe sounds like something I have to try. Years ago on a camping/mountain climbing trip we made a batch of mac and cheese with some stuff we had at the campsite. It was SO YUMMY but we could never manage to recreate it. I bet that with some good cheddar is probably it.
I forgot to mention one of the very sweet things about this recipe/method. You know how whole wheat pasta often gets all gummy and icky when it is boiled? Well, you can make this using WW pasta and it doesn't do that. I think it's about the lack of agitation since it's not actively boiling, but I've served this to folks who hated the texture of WW pasta and they liked it.
Do you use cold water to begin with or does the water need to be hot? Thanks.
and throw in some broccoli to steam towards end for a nutritional boost :)
I'm a mac and cheese snob I hate to say. If I'm going to make it I have to do it right- stove top, with a bechamel type sauce, baked in the oven so it goes crispy.
The bowl gets does get pretty warm while it's microwaving, but it cools down quickly once you're done. I used a pair of oven mitts to take it in and out of the microwave to stir it.
And I used cool tap water to make the pasta. If your water is very cold, it might take an extra minute or two for the pasta to cook.
I also like the sour cream idea! I've also used plain yogurt before when I ran out of milk.
This would be a great thing to make at work, when there is usually no stovetop available. You can use a plastic food storage container and it will stay cooler than a regular ceramic or porcelain bowl. Thanks for the idea!
I'm definitely going to try this out with my kids! They love mac n cheese, but I rarely buy the boxed stuff for them. The only mac n cheese I actually like is real stuff (specifically, Martha's recipe) but I'd certainly give this a taste test when making it with the kiddos.
And the chili with mac sounds like a great idea! Can't believe I never thought to do that.
this is stovetop (one pot!), but it's AMAZING and takes only 12 minutes....
mmm...I love stovetop mac and cheese (especially with fresh breadcrumbs crisped in a skillet), but this really hit the spot! it seems especially good for summer, when you don't want to heat up your apartment by using the stove. I topped mine with some leftover tomatoes and leeks that I'd made a few days ago!
I'm a total white-trash mac-and-cheese gal, I have no particular allegiance to any brand of boxed m&c, whether it's KD (that's what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner), Annie's shells or bunnies, or my all-time fave President's Choice white cheddar mac & cheese.
BUT! I love the idea of a one-dish microwave mac & cheese because the danger of me making a box is that I'd eat it all myself. The OP's recipe gives one portion and ingredient control. You can use skim milk or sour cream, margarine or butter, orange or white cheese, and whatever pasta you want. This is goin' in my recipe box!
yum! i love this idea, and love the portion too. i always include goat cheese and top it off with tony chachere's because i like some spice. i suppose tabasco would serve the same purpose..
My kids love box mac, me, not so much. I just made this and it was a hit ! So easy and miles ahead taste wise !
You inspired me to make mac and cheese on the stove tonight. I made the same recipe I always make but instead of throwing in the oven with a blanket of cheese it went right on our plates. Great idea! It was missing that lovely crust but it stayed so creamy that this just may be my preferred method.
I don't know what happened but this one just didn't work for me. It's way way too salty. The pasta never really got to al dente even after an extra minute in our brand new 1100 watt microwave. The cheese sauce ended up soupy and lumpy. I followed the recipe exactly. The only thing I can think of was that maybe I was supposed to cover it while cooking? The recipe didn't specify so I left it uncovered. Any thoughts on what may have gone wrong? Can I reduce or eliminate the salt or will that mess this up somehow?
I can't make real mac n' cheese in less than 10 minutes, so I would like to try this. Plus I live alone and don't always want a big pot of macaroni and don't always have KD around.
I just tried this, and while it worked very well, I did make some adjustments and would make more the next time:
1. Waaaay too salty. Overwhelmingly so. I'd maybe only add 1/4 tsp salt or even less, next time.
2. It may have been the pasta I had (WF 365 whole wheat elbow macaroni), but I didn't need so much water, and only needed 4 mins.
3. I would add less milk - maybe 1/8 c? - and more cheese (although I used a very "meltable" goat cheese). OR I would nuke after adding the dairy in 1min intervals instead. This took about another 4-5 minutes instead of the suggested <1.5.
4. It also seems important to let the water vapor evaporate from the microwave for about 10 seconds between nukes.
(@ebenko - I always adjust recipes by eye and "feel." I can't remember the last time I followed one exactly to specification. If something doesn't seem right - ie, the amount of salt which I was initially wary about but went with anyway [should've followed my instincts!] - I go with what I think might be more appropriate, or more to my taste. Give it a shot again, maybe with less salt? Also, regarding the lumpy cheese sauce, it depends on what kind of cheese you used. The cheese sauce will end up soupy & lumpy at first if you don't nuke long enough regardless of your microwave power, but either a. keep going and keep eyeballing or b. use a cheese that has a lower melting point, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese#Eating_and_cooking )
All told, I totally agree with @gardensimple - this would be great for the many people who only have a microwave available... college students, office & retail workers, younger children, etc. So much better than the boxed stuff!
@ ebenko and megkem: of course it's salty - 1/2 tsp of salt is about 1200 mg of sodium, which is HALF of the total daily maximum intake for a healthy adult as recommended by the American Heart Association and the Mayo Clinic, and then you have the 175 to 350 mg of sodium in the cheese, depending on whether you use 1/4 or 1/2 cup (unless it's low fat or fat-free cheese, and then it'll have about twice as much sodium, because when they cut the fat in a food item, they pile on the sodium or the sugar, or both). That's just too much for such a small amount of pasta and water.
I'd say skip the salt when preparing it; you can always add some at the end if you really feel it needs any. And be careful with the chili as well, since that tends to be extremely heavy on the sodium when it's the canned or packaged type. Even when homemade you have to watch it - Emeril's essences range from about 243 to 296 mg of sodium per 1/2 tsp (so they're better than plain salt, plus tastier; you just have to watch how much you're using in the recipe), and only the Italian essence seems to be salt-free, but I'd check the label and make sure they haven't changed them.
I'm simply commenting on this so I have a record of the recipe for future reference. Can't believe I didn't see it before. Now, off I go to break the addiction to that blue box!
This will be perfect for our new RV lifestyle! Plus, now I can make actual WW pasta instead of the white stuff. I've never really liked the taste of Annie's stuff, but the Kraft version is hard to find in WW. Hopefully, this will be the perfect combo for us. Thanks!
I made this last night and was a little hesitant, but it turned out great! Really, I just tried it to see if it would work. It did take just as long as stove top and my bowl got incredibly hot, so I had to let it cool down a bit between some of the intervals. However, I am a macaroni and cheese fanatic and I LOVED the texture....almost cafeteria style (some might not like). Maybe this would be good if you were in a hotel or if something was wrong with your stove? Not sure, but it works. I also cut the salt by half based on other comments.
I just recently tried this and I'm hooked! The benefits for me are 1) one bowl 2) single serving - no leftovers to tempt me 3) I can use whole wheat pasta 4) I can use whatever cheese I have on hand - leftover party brie was delicious. I also sometimes take the extra step to throw some cheese on top and broil it in my toaster oven if I remember to heat it up while the pasta is in the microwave. One other thing I've discovered is using a wedge of Laughing Cow along with some shredded cheese gives it a great creamy, melty texture.
To comment to those who think this is a waste of time - This is great for smaller families who don't want to make the whole box of pasta! It's also great to not heat up the house. It takes the same amount of time, sure, but don't knock it till you try it! I also am on a reduced calorie diet and having that extra portion of mac n cheese would be tempting.
If you cook the macaroni in milk rather than water, you save one step and the pasta thickens the mixture, at least that's how I do it. I also add a bit of granulated onion or onion flakes to the milk.
I agree that it's probably simpler to do on the stove, but if you're trying to teach your kid to cook, the microwave can be easier for them to handle. Plus, most offices don't have a stove but do have a microwave - you can make your mac & cheese from scratch - and, yes, you can cook it in the dish you'll eat it out of.
It is just as easy to cook the pasta (any amount, any kind) on the stove while you make the sauce in the microwave. You can serve it in the sauce dish.
If it is just for me and I need some vegetables I cook broccoli or cauliflower with the pasta (large pieces if you are eating them separately).
Use an oven safe bowl for microwaving the sauce. Once it is mixed with pasta if you still feel like it you can sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top and put it in the toaster oven for a few minutes.
When my daughter was little she didn't mind having cauliflower in her macaroni and cheese as long as you couldn't really see it. So I made a large amount, froze it in child size portions and put it in the freezer for emergencies. With a few carrot sticks and some fruit for dessert it made an adequate dinner.
Hint: make a double batch of stovetop sauce next time and freeze the extra in ice cube trays. Reheat with some milk and the random extra cooked pasta we always have in the refrigerator. It takes less than five minutes and you get all of the goodnesss of slowcooked sauce.
I followed this to the letter and all I got was an ungodly mess! The cheese all melted directly onto the bottom and sides of the bowl even though I stirred it after every 30 seconds. The "creamy mixture" was soupy and gross and in the end I had to throw the bowl and the spoon away they were so crusted with gross melted cheese. DO NOT DO THIS and DO NOT let your kids do this either.
I came across this recipe a few months ago and it has become one of my favorite go-to "quick snack" recipes. It is so easy, speedy, and turns out so well. I get a nice thick, creamy mix of cheese and macaroni. The only change I made was to use 3/4 cups of macaroni and scale up the other ingredients except for cutting back the salt to 1/8 teaspoon. Also, after adding in the milk, cheese, etc., I simply microwave on high for 90 seconds, mix well, and then zap it for another 60 seconds. This is simpler than having to zap-and-mix every 30 seconds, The sauce still thickens up nicely. So thanks, Emma, for sharing this recipe.

Arutz Sheva (Hebrew: ערוץ שבע) (Channel Seven) is an Israeli media network identifying with Religious Zionism. It offers online news in English, Hebrew, French and Russian in three formats: written, internet radio, and internet television. The Israeli government has never granted it a license to broadcast, prompting charges of government discrimination against the Religious Zionist public. Arutz Sheva sees itself as "the only independent national radio station in Israel" and a counterbalance to "the 'negative thinking' and 'post-Zionist' attitudes so prevalent in Israel's liberal-left media." Based in Beit El, Arutz Sheva is regarded as the voice of the Israeli settlement movement.
Arutz Sheva was founded in 1988 and was broadcast on the Israeli airwaves from the ship MV Hatzvi in the Mediterranean Sea off Israel until being shutdown by the Israeli government. While the broadcast was generated from the ship, the actual studio for Arutz Sheva was in Samaria. The Hatzvi was much larger than most radio ships, but was broken up in 2003. Arutz Sheva may have the distinction of being the world's last ever offshore radio station.
Currently the station broadcasts over the Internet from its website which it has been running for about the last ten years. It was forced to broadcast from a ship because Israeli law permits private radio stations only on the local level.

Eagles pound Chimacum by 33 points for in-league victory | Prep boys basketball
The Cedar Park Christian boys basketball team pounded Chimacum for its 11th win of the season Tuesday, 78-45.
The team from Bothell began the game strong, including a 28-point second quarter, to take a 47-19 halftime lead.
From there the team cruised to the victory behind Trey Dechsel's 18 points to lead all scorers.
Teammates Evan Scholten (14 points) and Luke Sauferer (13) both finished in double figures.
The Eagles are now 7-0 in league play and 11-0 overall.

I'm in that situation with a reroll right now. I've noticed a huge difference since the S1 gear went up for honor points and marks. I would also agree that the best thing to do is just grind it out until you can buy some better gear with your honor and/or arena points. Reminds me of pre-battlegroup PvP on the old honor system with my warrior. I hit 60 and was getting trashed by premades and people rockin' T2. Slowly Rank 6 came, Rank 8, then Rank 10 and my warrior started killing people. Just be patient and put in the time.
Also, if you can heal you can help out a lot more than you think. If you're a hybrid go resto/holy and keep people alive until you can buy the gear for your favorite spec.

This is so tragic. Three Cups of Tea co-author David Oliver Relin has reportedly committed suicide. And authorities say he died from "blunt force trauma" to the head, which sounds like a horrible way to go. They offered no other details. Relin's family says he was "depressed."
It's dangerous to speculate why anyone commits suicide. Relin seemed to have it all: He was a bestselling author, had a family, he was only 49. But the journalist and his coauthor, Greg Mortenson, were involved a scandal last year that may have been weighing on his mind.
Three Cups of Tea was an enormously popular book about Mortenson building schools in poor villages in Pakastan and Afghanistan. The book, which has sold over 4 million copies, also raised millions for a charity founded by Mortenson.
But last year author Jon Krakauer alleged that Mortenson had fabricated large portions of his book. 60 Minutes did a segment on it. Mortenson was also accused of misusing funds for his charity and eventually paid back $1 million to it.
Relin wasn't accused of any wrongdoing but it's not a huge leap to imagine this must have weighed on him. It can be difficult to fact-check everything a co-author is telling you. You check what you can, but essentially you are there to make someone else's story into a readable narrative. This is an arrangement based on trust. It's sad that Mortenson broke that trust with Relin.
I feel bad for Relin. He got caught up in a mess that he had little to do with, and he probably felt as duped as anyone. Relin was a longtime journalist who was respected for his work writing about children's social causes. And yet his most read work ends up being a cloud over his name. He also apparently had a difficult relationship with Mortenson and resented that he was named as co-author. He also had to hire a lawyer to defend himself from a lawsuit against him accusing him and Mortenson of defrauding readers.
Even people who have had nothing like this happen to them can find themselves facing down suicidal tendencies, so there's no saying if this was the "cause" of his suicide. But it sounds like Relin was a fragile soul and it's tragic that his scandal may have contributed to his state of mind.
Did you read Three Cups of Tea?

Finally, someone has written something about David's tragic death that give some real thought about how badly David, a prize winning journalist with an impeccable record for nearly thirty years can become trapped into a whirlwind of criticism based largely on the misdeeds of Mortenson that occurred entirely outside anything that every involved David and his work...which was brilliant, heartfelt and wonderful in all respects. His book even starts by saying that it was nearly impossible to pin Mortenson down to any exact timeline. David's own lips were sealed by his lawyers and publishers who did not want his side of the story told. His follow-up book was also held up by the mess and by David being painted with the same messy brush that was used to paint the misdeeds of Mortenson and his charity. This was not ever David's charity and he received nothing from the charity
Anyone who knows or has witnessed Mortenson in action knows that the problem lies in his own grandiosity..not in the beauty of a journalist like David. David had to spend a fortune of his own money to defend himself from a money grubbing absurdity of a lawsuit that was dismissed as the garbage that it was by a federal judge who recognized it as such. Dismissed with prejudice...no trial... something quite rare indeed. Thank you for writing a note on his death that is insightful and respectful of the man that was David Oliver Relin. David wrote this wonderful book himself and when he turned it in to the publisher he was forced to include Mortenson as co-author. Mortenson didn't write a single word. i tis an abomination that his name appears as co-author. What a joke - a tragic joke.

Are you a TV Fanatic?

No and by your description...i really really won't.
First of all
"taking" fantasy stuff into modern setting is nothing new. It has been happening for at least two decadesContemporary fiction genre has been alive for at least 20 years already ever since N.Gainman wrote his "American Gods" and Forever Knight aired on tv introducing us to the concept of brooding immortal vampire cops, latter genre being popularized by BTVS as well as book author Tim Powers spawning dozens of contemporary fiction books Since then we already had supernatural world wars and a world populated by all kinds of things modernised in btvs, the various forces and races of dark and light locked in warfare in Russia in Lukyanenko's Watch trilogy, wizards waging a war against vampires in the middle of chicago in dresden files book series, a vampire huntress in love with an archangel in guild hunter book series, a fairy in love with vampires in sookie stackhouse novels and whole lot of other stuff.(I should not even mention Anita Blake books because they are fairly well known already)
Second of all, the fact that you description focuses on the sexualized feminine portayal of the main heroine already worries me a lot on the quality of the books as basic plot sounds like "look this sexy woman gets every sexy dark supernatural thing thrown at her, while she watches in awe"
well the synopsis on the first book doesnt really do the series justice.the reviews give a better idea.
"dagger sharp,funky and cool"-christopher golden author of the myth hunters
"Clares atmospheric setting is spot on,informed equally by neo-gothic horror films and the modern fantasy leanings of Neil Gaiman(like you said).werewolves,vampiresangels and fairies all fit into this ambitious millieu.At the core though this is a compelling story about family secrets and coming of age identity crisis.fans of the smart chic horror typified by buffy the vampire slayer will instantly fall for the series"-publishers weekly
"the storys sensual flavour comes from the wealth of detail:demons with facial piercings,diners serving locusts and honey,pretty gay warlocks and cameo appearences from other urban fantasie characters...lush and fun"-kirkus reviews
im not saying the idea is particulary new but that was a paret of the idea of the series
Second of all, the fact that you description focuses on the sexualized feminine portayal of the main heroine already worries me a lot on the quality of the books as basic plot sounds like "look this sexy woman gets every sexy dark supernatural thing thrown at her, while she watches in awe"
actually she gets drawn in because she is one of them clary keeps getting involoved when she shouldn't which in part causes the problems in the series.Clary keeps doing what she wants despite what other people think\tell her
well ever get the feeling that a book series or tv show can't end well? Yeah.how do you deal with that?
considering i am fan of:
who kills off the fan favorites in most brutal fashion(best example being dedicating an entire episode of showing the most fan favorite character, ala Caroline, die in agony and then spending the rest of the show with someone evil dark and old using the corpse of that character as a host, as if to mock the fanbase of that character) and ends his shows on the most possibly bleak and sour note (or a bittersweet ending with half the cast dead). And for some deaths I will never EVER forgive that person....
I'd say the ride is more important than destination. stuff should not be watched FOR the ending, but for the journey towards it. Ending is just the cherry on top and even if its unhappy, the pay off is worth it if its executed correctly. If the ending fits the storyline then its all great. happy endings are such a cliche anyway and without any loss or bittersweet taste there's no feeling that those characters acomplished anything.
thanks for the advice lol
ugh it's like gauranteed one of the main characters will die and most likely its the main guy,Jace because of the situation he's in right now and the fact the main character in the planned series after this wants to be the best shadowhunter SINCE jace wayland.
it's gonna get depressing.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Several people have concerns about security in light of recent mob violence in Louisville, but others are ready for the festivities begin so they can attend.
The Darkus love Waterfront Park and decided to fly kites there for their daughter's second birthday Wednesday.
They also have plans to be at the park for the Thunder Over Louisville fireworks, despite the recent violence and new leaked information about possible threats at other events.
"I don't think for one instance I thought of, 'Oh, I'm afraid to go to the Big Four Bridge or the Waterfront,'" Kefir Darku said.
His wife, Anne Darku, feels the same way.
"I love Derby and I love the kickoff to Derby season," she said. "We have company coming in from Chicago."
A half million people are expected for Thunder Over Louisville and thousands are expected at the Republic Bank Pegasus Parade. Police are calling possible threats concerning the Pegasus Parade in a leaked FBI document unverified.
Even with the news, that's not enough to keep the Darkus in.
"I feel like we have to enjoy ourselves and I'm not even going to let that affect me," Anne Darku said.
Others are still trying to decide whether or not to go to the upcoming events.
"With the events that have been happening, and that, and the weather will play a big part this year because I don't like big crowds," Cearis Blaney explained. "And if it's going to be a lot of mess, I do not want to be down here," she said.
Police have promised added patrols and new cameras have been installed around the Waterfront.
In a statement Derby Festival organizers said they are taking extraordinary measures to keep people safe.
The Darku's say let the festivities begin.
"Unless it was some DEFCON 5, DEFCON 6 definite threat, I don't see how we would stay away from this," Kofi said.

Different types of therapy

Different types of therapy
Can anyone recommend/explain different types of therapy? I have been to some sessions with a shrink, and i kind of found his comments incinderary, like he would make things out worse than they were, and I kind of used those comments to drive myself deeper into a bit of despair. I did one or 2 sessions with a pschycologist, and she was just a sympathizer "That must have been pretty hard." I didn't find this helpful, either. I suppose I am looking for someone to help lead me to better places, and that is not what I experienced with these 2. I think for most people their friends serve this function; I feel like i've been a little depressed for a number of years now, and hence my friends have moved on, and I haven't really made good new ones. So I don't have that to turn to at the moment. I do not have a minister or faith, and anyway I feel like it would have to be someone you knew well and trusted. I met someone I really liked (romantically) a year ago, and it didn't turn out, in part because of my depression or whatever you want to call it, though he didn't verbalize this. Anyway I find myself fantasizing about "what could have been had I been healthier." I know that's not good per se, I am just saying I saw something really good in/with him that I wasn't able to achieve, and know that my current mental state is partly to blame.
So, in short: what kind of therapist is best to help you see reality, i.e. beyond your petty concerns, limits, self-involvement, NOT drive you deeper into them by reciting from some textbook or getting all Freudian. Thanks.

You can't judge a kind of therapy just from a single experience with a single practitioner.

While there are some commonalities in approach when it comes to psychologists vs. psychiatrists vs. licensed therapist (LCSW), finding the right person can take some time, and unfortunately is not as clear cut as "a licensed therapist is best for me." For example, I generally dislike interacting with psychiatrists because of the way they seem to relate to the world and thus me, but I have to see one for medication purposes, and I had one psychiatrist who I absolutely adored and was incredibly helpful to me. I've had therapists who I just didn't connect with, but I also have one right now who is amazing and I have been seeing for years. The issues you're describing don't strike me as being endemic to a particular type of mental health professional, but rather are just personality types. You could just as easily come across a sympathizer who was a psychiatrist or an exaggerator who was a psychologist.
Class Goat is right in that it takes quite a few sessions to get to know each other and see if it's actually helping you. Like many thing in life, it also sometimes takes trying with a few different people before you find the right fit. I've had the most success when someone has been able to give me a personal recommendation. I also know people who had success by checking therapists out on
. If you feel like emailing me, I might be able to give you more focused advice about a good starting point to find a better solution for you. Good luck!

IANAD, but please consider reading "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" or some other cognitive therapy approach. Barring a chemical imbalance or similar, moodiness and depression often stem from faulty reasoning and reactions -- a/k/a "stinkin' thinkin.'" The book suggests (no, concludes) that rehashing the agonies of the past -- a typical approach in psychology -- is not really helpful going forward. It doesn't make you feel better, now or in the future. Recognizing the flaws in our self-talk does. I found myself feeling lighter and happier after reading just the first 50 pages or so. Try it, and see if it helps. I wish you the best.

Gestalt therapy is a discipline that helps people stand aside from their usual way of thinking so they can tell the difference between what is actually being perceived and felt in the current situation and what is residue from the past. The goal of Gestalt phenomenological exploration is awareness, or insight. Awareness without systematic exploration is not ordinarily sufficient to develop insight. Therefore, Gestalt therapy uses focused awareness and experimentation to achieve insight. How the therapist and the patient experience their relationship is of special concern for this manner of treatment.

So, in short: what kind of therapist is best to help you see reality, i.e. beyond your petty concerns, limits, self-involvement, NOT drive you deeper into them by reciting from some textbook or getting all Freudian.
It depends. Therapy is built upon the relationship between therapist and client. Some therapists will be more compatible with you than others. Some might be excellent shrinks overall but just not equipped to help you, specifically.
Go with your gut feeling. Pick a therapist, tell them what you want from therapy, tell them a little bit about what's disappointed you in the past. Work with them for a few sessions. (Unless they do something horrible or obnoxious, in which case you are well within your rights to fire them.)
Then ask yourself "Is this helping me? Will this person help me get better?"
Listen to the gut-feeling answer that your unconscious gives you. That will tell you what you need to know.

What are your conditions? Seek a psychiatrist who can prescribe meds for your condition.
Therapists, psychologists, pastors, friends, whoever, are not the answer. Expanding on your issues makes them bigger than life, makes you think about it more, and can become an obsession
So, if you are seeing a therapist to talk about your obsession, stop. Fire the dude. Its no big deal.
get with a real Doctor who can prescribe meds to get you out of your head.

Gotta give a thumbs down to cvoixjames's statement. You won't find many mental health professionals that would support the idea that therapy makes things worse. As for medicine, it works very well for some people, so-so in some people, has no effect in others, and can have really negative effects in still others, hence all the warnings in commercials, in the news, and on pillbottles lately. Talk therapy, at least of the Cognitive variety, has been
to be as effective as medication, and very often the method is to attack the problem from both ends, using both medicine and therapy simultaneously. Just be sure to have qualified professionals vet anything any of us random internet typers tells you.
If you're not into going deep and the thought of Freud puts you off, you'll probably want to try something other than psychoanalytic therapy. Cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapy are among the other options. Cognitive sounds like it might be a good starting point for you, as it deals specifically with overcoming negative thought patterns caused by irrational thinking and distorted perspectives. The book mentioned above, Feeling Good, goes into the various forms of irrational thinking and gives you methods for overcoming them. This is the type of thing you might expect in cognitive or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
You might also start more generally with someone like a licensed clinical social worker, clinical nurse specialist, counselor, etc. and tell them what you'd like to get out of therapy. After a bit of background, they should be able to make some recommendations for you or perhaps help you themselves. I agree with the above poster who mentioned the weird vibe with the psychiatrist. I felt like a lab rat with the one I saw. That's essentially what I was. He was strictly into chemistry, not about resolving anything. Maybe there are different kinds, but for me therapists were much more helpful.
One thing to be aware of is that often the need for therapy arises out of the refusal to face something internally. Therapy attempts to steer you to a point where you do face it, confront it, and then have the opportunity to resolve it. So if you feel a strong aversion to going deep, just be aware that it's possible that's part of the problem.
Find a generalist that you like, don't be afraid to tell them what you want, and and be ready to devote a rather long time to it. Consider at least trying medicine if they suggest it.

get with a real Doctor who can prescribe meds to get you out of your head
This is an individual's opinion and doesn't represent the truth of the extensive research on the topic. The efficacy of cognitive therapy in treating depression is proven and in many cases has benefits over drug therapy (no side effects, prolonged effectiveness). This is not to say you might not benefit from drug therapy or to deny that some conditions resist therapy and require drug treatment. But to dismiss therapy particularly for depression would be an ill informed decision.
Here is a
short article
with many references on the efficacy of therapy and short descriptions of many different styles of psychotherapy. My personal experience was with an individual who did not subscribe absolutely to a particular method, a flexibility I thought was a good initial sign. I really think the individual and the relationship is more important than a particular method. In the end they're all a bunch of talking and trying to change the way you think to a way that works better. I think a significant (at least a full session, perhaps two) initial discussion about what your goals are, and what the therapists approach is, is important. I also agree that you need to give it more time. You should definitely get a good vibe from a therapist and think what they have to say about your goals and their method makes sense. But it sounds like you are talking about significant, long-term depression. You are probably looking at fairly long-term therapy (i.e. years). Change won't happen overnight.

One thing I meant to add is that a therapist does not fill the role of friends or of a minister or vice versa (I don't discount the value of either, my dad is a pastor but he is sure not a substitute for someone who needs a mental health professional and he'd be the first person to tell you that). Finally, if something someone you're working says is bothering you, bring it up, see what they have to say about it.

Was he actually making things out to be worse than they are, or were you just perceiving things that way? I'm not saying he was a good therapist (how could I know?) but therapy often makes you feel worse before you feel better. For me, accepting that things really were/are that bad was a big part of being able to deal with them. They're definitely feelings you need to talk about with your therapist, though.
I went through (in fact am in my final few sessions of)
cognitive analytic therapy
, which is a UK thing, but is fairly close to cognitive behavioural therapy. It's been very useful for me. CBT is very goal-focused. It's centred around identifying and changing negative patterns in our life, which sounds like something you want to do. There's also a reasonable evidence base for it, unlike many types of therapy.

There is also "RET" rational emotive therapy, where you use logic to trick your brain into realizing that your feelings are controlled by your thoughts, so you work on changing the think patterns of your brain, thus adjusting your emotions.
Example: I feel depressed. Why? (make a list): my girlfriend left me (thought: I am not worthy of affection) Feeling: low self esteem, depression.
OK, now try it this way: I feel content. Thought: my girlfriend left me, but now I am a free man and it was not working anyway, I can now focus on that new project and meet new people. Plus I am going to call my mother and tell her I love her and be thankful for all I have.
I am going to cook a great meal tonight and watch that new movie I have been wanting to see.
Feeling: centered, content, confident
google Abraham Maslow, he is one great source on psychology.

I also have had good experiences with CBT & the Feeling Good book. My CBT therapist was the first (of many over the years) who really got me implementing specific changes in my POV and my life. We figured out that I really needed to be assigned homework, and that I had to write it down before I left her office!
Of course, at the same time I changed my medication, and I know that made a significant difference as well. These things often work in tandem.

Natural and Alternative Brain Cancer Treatment Options
Brain Cancer Treatment {introduction}
Brain cancer occurs when abnormal cells form in the tissue of the brain, and amass to form a tumor. There are several types of brain tumors, each arising from different types of cells in the brain and affecting different age groups. Depending on the location of a brain tumor, symptoms can vary. However, common signs of a brain tumor include headache, memory problems, muscle contractions or convulsions, nausea and vomiting, difficulty concentrating, personality or mood changes, balance issues, numbness in the limbs, and changes in vision, hearing and/or speech.

The current (monetary, demotratic) system of society isn't prepared for people to live until they are 100 on average.
The system would collapse, widespread poverty due to lack of capital to support pensions, etc. Democracy cannot survive with people retiring at 60 years old and living another 40. I'm definitely no expert, but it seems like the government depends on our early deaths to carry on. My arguement is very opinionated, but I'm all ears. Please share with me your thoughts on the subject.

Jul 22 2012: In my opinion, humanity system moves fast toward a need for total new economic system. Not only people after 60s are no longer needed to produce goods and services but even those who are full of power and young.
Unemployment rates go up only globally anyone still expects to "create new jobs"? :). What if just in few years all of 7 billion people will keep in their hands a pill that will allow them to extend their lives for more than 1000 years? ("I work for GM 700 years...")
One may call "parasite" a new born since he consumes and does not produce anything.
What if the cause of "freeing us from jobs" appears not to be young or old age? What if the main cause appears to be automation and technological advances? Perhaps this allows one human to feed, cloth and house thousands like him.
What if as temporary solution we decrease the work time: work days in a week, hours per day.
What if as goal we choose to get rid of monetary system?
What if your future is to push few buttons on your mobile phone and this way: arrange food, shelter, clothing etc. for entire year - cause this may be the only action required from you as "job" in an robotic humanity.
In such model of economy - is still logic to have jobs, salaries, and "the one who works - eats"?

The best times to be in Hawaii? Right now comes in first
There's a reason Hawai'i is a "red week" — the timeshare industry's term for the most desirable destinations — year-round: The islands are indeed pretty darn nice 12 months of the year, a fact that hotel, condo and airfare prices often reflect. But there are a few "shoulder" seasons when numbers of visitors and prices […] [Read More]

Everybody buckle up: New driving laws in Hawaii
One of the joys of going to Hawaiʻi is seeing — and hearing — things done a little differently than on the Mainland. That includes public service announcements such as Kauaʻi police officers solemnly intoning, "Click it or ticket," which to these haole ears sounds charmingly like "Cleeck it or teeckit." But now there's not just […] [Read More]
Kanakaʻole to share unique voice in S.F. Sunday
My fellow Hawaiʻi Insider Emily Tuupo recently caught up with musician Kaumakaiwa Kanakaʻole, widely regarded as the voice of a new generation, and appearing this Sunday in San Francisco.

Laura and Brady in the Shadow of Our House, by Abelardo Morell
(Source: sandyhonig, via sealegslegssea)
A big ol' leap of faith, this is.
I feel braver than I have
and stronger than I'd like to admit.
I mean, really….
what is there to lose?
The little beam of hope
it keeps me on my toes
keeps me going, going, gone
telling me, "There's nothing left to lose
but everything to gain".
I feel so full being able to talk to others and spilling all that life has taught me out on a keyboard like it's nothing to worry about, nothing to keep to myself.
My heart is full of joy, the greatest joy, because for once it feels like I'm doing things right. For once I don't feel even the slightest bit ashamed of the millions of romantic thoughts that keep my mind going in the morning and at night and all throughout the day and even in my dreams.
The days are full of surprises and the trick is to be thankful. How to show that? Just take the chance and run with is as far as you can, never looking back and never caring too much about what the outcome will be.
I'm in deep, for sure.

Gov. Pat McCrory said Thursday that he plans to sign into law a bill legalizing the use of medicinal oil derived from a strain of medical marijuana to treat severe forms of epilepsy.
The North Carolina Senate unanimously voted Thursday in favor of House Bill 1220, which would legalize and regulate hemp oil extract to be used in treating severe epilepsy that has not been responsive to three or more treatments.
The oil is derived from a strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web, which is low in tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and high in CBD, cannibidiol. THC is the psychoactive element in marijuana that gives a user a "high."
State Rep. Pat McElraft (R-Carteret County), who introduced the legislation, insists the "Hope 4 Haley and Friends" bill does not legalize medical marijuana, rather "this is only a medicine for these children so that they can develop motor skills."
"I am adamantly opposed to marijuana, to the legalization of marijuana," McElraft said. "This is a hemp oil bill that's high in CBD, which is the healing part of the brain. But it's very low on THC -- less than 0.3 percent. You can drink a whole bottle of it and never get high."
After passing the Senate, the bill returned to the House for approval of changes to the bill, including verbiage that fast-tracks the use and possession of CBD oil in the state. The House approved the measure 112-1, the only dissenting vote coming from Rep. Carl Ford (R-Rowan).
"I said in the beginning, we will prevail and that's always been kind of my statement amongst the group. And we did it, we prevailed," said Steve Carlin, whose 5-year-old daughter Zora suffers from severe seizures.
The bill is now in McCrory's hands. McCrory said he plans to sign the bill into law, saying it "will help ease the suffering endured by children for whom no other treatments are effective against their seizures."
If McCrory signs the legislation, CBD oil would be made available to individuals who suffer from "intractable seizures" as soon the the Department of Health and Human Services adopts temporary rules to issue registration cards for the oil's use, and a database of registered caregivers, patients and recommending neurologists.
"I'm very excited," Carlin said. "I'm looking forward to the day she gets to try this and see how well it works for her. I'm a little choked up because I know she's going to have an opportunity to potentially move forward in her life."
DHHS will have until Oct. 1 to establish the required guidelines.

This post reminds me of something my mom once said to me: You will be surprised how much your dad and I will have learn from the time YOU are 16 until you're 22. That's when I realized my dumb parents weren't so dumb after all. It's quite an awakening. Traditions? Nothing specific - we just all love getting together whenever we can and enjoying good food, wine, and fellowship.

I'm a tradition freak and so my poor boys have been subjected to many formal and informal traditions. But I love it because it makes us - "us".
And the best part is even as adults we are still creating them. I think that's the real beauty - it's never too late to start some

Isn't it funny that you didn't even know you had traditions and when you stopped to thing about it....you did!! I love it. We have traditions and they have often changed with my son getting older. Right now a tradition we have is me laying on Jakes bed while he plays DJ. He plays me his favorite songs and I act like they are the coolest songs I've ever heard. I can't tell you how precious it is when he comes and interrupts me and begs me to come and hang with him. It's a joy. We have other traditions that revolve around favorite eating places etc. It gives us a sense of belonging and we all need that!! Love the post....:)N

look at that cute little peanut head!
(that's an endearing nick name we call little ones who have cute little heads.)
you are at the perfect stage in life to implement new traditions.
that's where i am as well. i've found with my kids at the same age as yours, moving out, making a life of their own - that's the time to figure out what it is you "do" now.
some of our traditions....mexican food on christmas eve.
the nativity story on christmas eve.
prayer as a family before dinner
going to church every sunday ( i guess that's a kind of tradition ??)
big daddy taking each of the children on a daddy daughter or son trip with just them 2 times. once when they are around 12 and another around the age 16. with a big family, this is something the kids really look forward to...alone time w/the parent.
phone call to my mom and daughter who both live in another state, every sunday evening.
those are a few of ours.

mcat, your tradition freak will rub off and your kids and grandkids will love it. i think that's awesome! it's never too late to start some. yes, i like that!
nik, oh! i love the dj tradition with jake. so fun! and how cool that he still seeks you out to hang with him! re: your second comment, HA! i went back and read my comment to you in my last post and found it all jumbled. i was like WTH?! after the first line the rest was jumbled. i basically just shrugged and said, it's nik, she knows my retarded side and loves me anyway ;-)
annie, kudos to you for doing that big job all alone! and a nice perk is looking back and seeing how they raised us too, like you said.
pedaling, peanut head- how cute! i used to call all toddling babies pamper-butt. so true, about the age of our kids now and how we're thinking as parents now that we know more. love all your traditions too, especially the alone time with one parent. you're right, kids love that!
