Savvy with Abbie

Alright you guys, one final Thanksgiving appetizer/side dish recipe before Thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm hopeful that if you haven't started cooking yet, that you can enjoy these before tomorrow. This recipe is so good, I had to steal a little bite before sharing ;) It's a little more complicated of a recipe but worth it. The original recipe is from Martha Stewart and I changed a few things to make it my own. If you make this, please let me know below in the comments!  Ingredients: 5 tbsp butter salt and pepper, to taste 3 cups elbow macaroni 1 can evaporated milk 2/3 cup milk 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp seasoned salt 1/4 tsp garlic powder 8oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 8oz Mexican blend cheese, shredded Paprika, for topping Directions: Take 1 tbsp of the butter and use it to butter a baking dish. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and macaroni and cook al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the remainder 4 tbsp of butter to the macaro

Life is about balance. Some days I have Keto meals and others I have amazingly delicious and full of carbs macaroni and cheese. Last night was one of those days. I ate ALOT of macaroni and cheese and may have topped it off with some Sour Patch Kids. The original recipe that I found was from here . I went to the store earlier this week to purchase Gruyere cheese since that was mentioned in the recipe - unfortunately it was $13 so I didn't purchase it. Instead, I used three cheeses (in the recipe below). I didn't even make any sides with this because it was filling enough for the three of us! Jace enjoyed helping me make this one and gave himself full credit for how delicious it was ;) Ingredients: 16oz elbow macaroni, cooked 1 min short of al dente A few Tbsp of olive oil 6 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup flour 3 cups milk 1 cup heavy whipping cream 6 1/2 cups of shredded combination of cheeses - cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella (divided however you would like) Salt and pepper

On Monday night I asked the boyfriend if Macaroni and Cheese sounded good to eat because I didn't feel like cooking a huge meal. He said yes BUT he wanted to try a different kind of Mac and Cheese - baked. I don't think I've ever had baked macaroni before but thought it was worth a shot. The original recipe can be found HERE . To be honest, I was looking for an easy meal but this was NOT an easy recipe. But I have to say this was the most AMAZING Macaroni and Cheese I have EVER had. I'm not even kidding. So if you have some time and want to make a delicious meal (we had plenty leftover!) then try this Macaroni and Cheese!
