Happy Tuesday!! I've been wanting to share these photos for a long time and I'm finally getting around to it! I have to be honest, seeing these photos taken in my old kitchen literally brings tears to my eyes. We miss it so much!!! But our new home is well under-way and we are excited about it!

One question I get asked a lot is what my kids like to eat and what meals I like to fix them. Honestly, both Isla and Jackson are great eaters!! They both love eggs, spaghetti, and especially this homemade Mac & Cheese recipe that I make them at least once a week (I made them boxed Mac & Cheese once and they hated it because they were so used to this recipe!). I love it because it's super easy, it's a healthier option compared to boxed Max & Cheese and it's a hit with adults too!

...

Ingredients:

Mini Bowtie Noodles (these are Isla's favorite!!!)

A little less than half a cube of Land of Lakes Salted Butter

Cache Valley Colby Jack Cheese (this is my favorite brand - the more the better!!!)

A dash of salt

1/3 - 1/2 cup of Skim Milk (depending on how runny you like your Mac & Cheese)

...

How To:

Boil the noodles then strain and put back in pot. Add butter and 3 handfuls of cheese (or however much you want!). Add milk. Stir together and add a dash of salt. Serve and enjoy! We sometimes like to add grilled chicken, too!
