I’m a cook-from-scratch kind of girl. Something in me just
loves pulling out all my ingredients and preparing a delicious meal from them.
I try my best to make my dinners from scratch each night but I also know that
some nights that just won’t be possible. I hate fast food as much as I love
cooking from scratch. So on nights where I’m in a time crunch I need a quick
fix meal that will make my family happy but will keep me out of the drive-thru
lane.

| Yeah! Mac and Cheese! |
I tried out this recipe last night. I was in a super time
crunch and the shrimp stuffed shells I had on the menu just weren’t going to be
done on time. It was an easy choice to swap one pasta meal for another. I was
able to pull this together in about 20 minutes. Husband did put a pot of water
on the stove to start the water boiling and that did help so much. I already
had the chicken cooked, chopped and portioned out over the weekend. Prepping
what I can on the weekends has made my life so much better.
The only change I made to this recipe was adding extra
buffalo sauce. I just wanted a little extra kick. I knew that the mac and
cheese wasn’t super high on the healthy scale so I made a large garden salad
and heated up some green beans. Seeing lots of green on our dinner plates made
me a happy girl.
Enjoy!
