Homemade Mac & Cheese Recipe
Yay a new recipe!!!!!!!!!! This is my all- time favorite thing to cook ever, and I love it so so much. It's cheap, filling, flexible, and great as a side dish or as a main course. So here we gooo!!!!!!
Ingredients:
- Elbow Macaroni pasta (make as much as you need!)
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 stick of butter/margarine
- 1-2 teaspoons of flour
- CHEEEEEESE!!! (It's best to have a blend of cheeses when you make this. I like to use a few slices of processed cheese like Velveeta or Kraft Singles because it makes it smoother, gives it color, and adds flavor well. On top of that I'll shred in Monterrey Jack, provolone, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, Romano, whatever I have! The more cheese the better)
- Salt and Pepper for flavor
Procedure:
- Boil water and cook the pasta for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta and keep a lid on top to preserve heat while making the cheese sauce.
- Melt butter into pan used to cook pasta. And flour and stir until there are no lumps. Keep on the lower range of medium heat. Pour in the milk and add the salt and pepper, stirring until a creamy base has formed.
- Melt in various cheeses, stirring until even mixed in the sauce. Add more salt and pepper and cheese as needed, until the flavor reaches what you desire. If the sauce gets too thick, reduce the heat and add milk. If it becomes too thin, add more cheese and slat and pepper. If adding in any extras (some examples are further down in this post) add them now and fold them into the sauce mixture.
- Pour the pasta into the cheese blend and fold the sauce in until everything is evenly mixed. Stay on low heat for this.
- SERVE YOUR TASTY MAC & CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here's everything that's been going on with me the past week or so that I've been MIA.
- I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED SWEET JESUS YAAAAS!!!!!
- I was hired by the shoe store in the outlet mall where I interviewed, and today I go in for an orientation. I'm super excited, especially since I'll be making more than I did at Starbucks. I won't be getting any commission though, but I'm just happy to have a paycheck.
- Andy and I celebrated our first anniversary! Yay for love and stuff!!!! Tomorrow is also his birthday so look out for a recipe coming up in the next few days for peanut butter filled cupcakes!
- I worked my aunt's garage sale which was a torturous experience all-around.
- I've been doing yard work at my grandparents' house the past couple of mornings to get some cash, and the great outdoors was not meant for this girl!
- I've been trying to eat better and exercise more because 1.) I want to live a long and healthy life and 2.) My body really needs that work, and I'd greatly benefit from losing a couple of pounds. So I've been incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my daily diet, especially breakfast. I have been cooking more and more stuff in an effort to add more and more recipes here.
I AM SORRY!
It's been a pretty long absence from me and it's been bleh. I still haven't managed to find a new laptop charger which has been really frustrating because it's harder for me to blog sans laptop, and every time I try posting from mobile it just never works out and I don't really know why! But I'm here now, and I'll flood you all with posts in an attempt to compensate for my absence!
