Mac N Cheese

Hate that I missed yesterday, but I have some serious sinus issues and Bug's naps are not going well due to cutting her two front teeth (finally) and it got the best of me. We enjoyed some of the leftover roast and soup out of the fridge. I hope y'all understand. But I'm feeling much better today and so we're back at it! So don't give up on me just yet!

This is a classic favorite of anyone - especially Bug - Macaroni and cheese.

• 16 oz pack of elbow macaroni
• 2 cups of half-half cream
• 1 can of condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 16 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup of butter, melted

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, I left mine al-dente so they didn't get too mushy in the slow cooker.
2. In the crock pot combine cream, soup, and butter until smooth.
3. Stir in pasta and shredded cheese.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 hours.

This recipe would be super fun to play with and make like a full meal/casserole out of. Throw in some hamburger meet and some bacon and you got bacon cheeseburger macaroni. Tonight I'm just wanting some good ole mac-n-cheese and some meat loaf (crock pot meatloaf recipe to come toward the end of the month) so I'm not going to play with my macaroni today. Do not be surprised though if one day this month I decide to, though. I'm all about tweaking good recipes to make them better!

Day 6 (yesterday): I am thankful for having a best friend who came over so her little girl could play with mine and we could have some girl time. It definitely made me feel better. There's not much that a good friend and two adorable babies chasing a fluffy kitten around won't cure.

Day 7: I'm thankful that through everything, the valleys and the mountain tops, God is in control. He will see me and my family through in our time of need, and He will see this country through as well.
