I wanted to bring you a pretty simple recipe for this Friday. This is my go-to recipe when I’m in the mood for the BEST Homemade Mac n Cheese EVER. It’s SUPER easy to make. Like, SO so easy. It also requires just a few simple ingredients which is everyone’s favorite recipe, right? OH and you can make it in one pot <<<<<all the signs of a truly awesome blog recipe.

Also it’s HOMEMADE because I made it inside of my home in my very own kitchen using my own pot of boiling water.

All you have to do is cook the pasta in accordance to typical pasta cooking techniques.

Then just stir in the organic gourmet cheddar cheese (SO yummy!).

Give that a quick stir and you’re basically DONE!

Except you’re not done because we live in an age where food is not just a way to nourish your body, but also a serious fashion statement. If you don’t have at least quinoa, avocado, kale, goat cheese, chia seeds, or something with the word “organic” in your meal, then you’re doing it ALL wrong.

So, to make a really food-forward statement, we added in some peas to our mac n cheese today.

This is the super cool, super hip thing to do and we’ll just pretend that we bought them this morning at the farmer’s market, organic or course. No one has to know.

On a completely separate note, lets just take a moment to zoom in on that photo up there and admire my wanna-be-full-time-blogger outfit of Stephen’s pajama pants and a hoodie. Classic.

They are totally and completely ridiculous and you shouldn’t listen to ANY of them. Except, you should make this mac n cheese because it really is pretty tasty even if it is from a box ????
