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.

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them

How We Painted Our Cabinets {and Totally Transformed Our Kitchen}

About 9 months ago I took the plunge and painted our kitchen cabinets. I feel like this is the DIY project that most people are afraid to tackle because, hello! It is the kitchen. So much time is spent in the kitchen and it really is the focal point of the home – if it’s done sloppy, wrong or doesn’t turn out as expected it would be a huge headache and a lot of money to fix. However, this is probably the best DIY project our family has done. Not only did it make a HUGE impact on our home and main living space but it was extremely cost effective at only $150. Once upon a time, our kitchen looked like this: Now it looks like this: It was pretty yellow before. Maple was everywhere. Maple cabinets, maple floors. I walked in this room and it felt like it was constantly glowing (even after I painted the walls a beautiful shade of “perfect greige”). Anyhoo, I knew I wanted a white kitchen. I feel like white cabinets appear decade after decade. They are timeless and cla

Each Day Has Enough Trouble of Its Own

Sometimes we hear exactly what we need to hear. That's what happened to me this week. Along with motherhood, as many of you know, comes so much worry. Worry about the well-being of your child. Worry about doing things correctly. Worry about giving enough time to your children and enough time to your husband. Worry about finding enough time for yourself. Worry about being a good mom and a good wife. Worry about getting enough sleep tonight so I can have enough energy to get through tomorrow. The list of worries and anxieties go on and on. They don't tell you about this when we sign up to be parent. Or do they? Anyway, last week I was reading the Bible. While studying the book of Matthew I came across this verse: "But seek first His kingdom and all His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34 Isn't that script
