Mac & Cheese

                                             
I love mac and cheese. Creamy, gooey, cheesey, baked goodness. Perfect for any holiday get together. And it's easier than all get out. 

Ingredients:
1 lb. elbow macaroni
1 can cheddar cheese soup
4 cups shredded cheddar
1 cup milk
8 oz. sour cream
Seasoned salt
Pepper
Powdered garlic
1 stick of butter

Step 1:
Boil your pasta and drain.


Step 2: 
In a pot, melt one stick of butter.

Step 3:
Add 1 cup cheddar cheese soup (adds the artificial goodness of life), 1 cup milk, and 8 oz. sour cream.
At this point I also add 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 4:
Add 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (leave a little extra out for the top). Stir until completely melted.

Step 5:
Stir in cooked pasta.

Step 6:
In a buttered baking dish, add the mac and cheese and top with some shredded cheese for extra credit.

Step 7:
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

While this recipe can be made ahead of time and baked the day of, Mac and Cheese ALWAYS tastes better when made and served the same day.

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

20 Meals for $200

Good Evening! World's worst blogger here. (Seriously. I will never be consistent here, folks.) But I have some meal prepping for you: 20 meals for less than $200. I'm not sure the exact amount because I bought groceries for the week and a year's supply of baking ingredients (for all the Christmas goodies) and frankly, I don't want to do the math. But it's definitely in the just under $200 ball park. Let's get started... Menu | Simple Spaghetti & Meatballs Tuscan Chicken Cajun Smoked Sausage & Rice Pulled Pork Pork Tacos Teriyaki Salmon Vegetarian Chili Chuck Roast Winger's Chicken and Waffles Southwest Chicken Y'all. These are the most simple meals to throw together. Because Christmas. And I'm not going to busy myself being extra when I want to enjoy the holidays. It took me about an hour. Grocery List | 2 packages of spaghetti noodles 2 packages of rigatoni 1-2 cartons of broth (this is to add to the meals when cookin...
