Melt in your mouth mac n cheese

One of my families all time favorites on a cold winter day is home made mac n cheese. My family loves how creamy and cheesy this version is and I love how simple it is to make, that makes it a win/win in my book! ;)

When my son requested it for dinner tonight and I was all to happy to oblige after a busy day. We think your whole family will love it just as much as we do so I had to share it with you! :)

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easily it can be adapted to your families likes. Simply add a cup of shredded chicken, ground beef, sliced pieces of a sausage, died ham or bacon and your mac n cheese will make anyone happy!

Directions:

*1 box of uncooked noodles (I prefer O Organics whole wheat macaroni, rigatoni or spiral noodles. We also love to make it with GF noodles or black bean noodles as well).

*1 cup of desired meat

*1 cup of water

*1/2 tablespoon of butter is optional

Dump all ingredients into instant pot. Starting with noodles on the bottom. Stir to combine.

Press 4 minutes on manual settings for regular noodles. 2 minutes if using Gluten Free noodles, rice noodles or black bean noodles.

Close lid and lock in place and allow to cook. Once timer goes off do a quick release.

After it's cooked directions:

*Add 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and stir

*Add in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of any cheese blend you like (we prefer a Monterey Jack/Colby Jack or cheddar variety)

*Stir all ingredients to combine. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

PS. If you don't have an instant pot yet you are totally missing out! It is my all time favorite small kitchen appliance and we use it at least 3 or more times a week!

Happy Friday Friends!

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas: This yummy recipe for chicken enchiladas is sure to be a crowd pleaser and be a hit even with picky eaters! It is super easy and adaptable, you can whip it up in a snap while catering to your families health needs/preferences and individual tastes :) What I love most is that I can prep multiple dishes all at once, one for tonight and one for later in the week or to pop in the freezer for a night I am short on time and but want to provide a homecooked meal for my family (double bonus🙌). First start with gathering all your ingredients: -Tortillas: Either store bought or homemade ( I love to use flat out brand, 5 grain fold it tortilla's (healthier version) or Mission whole wheat or flour tortillas (my kiddos prefer these as they are a bit softer and less chewy texture). -Meat: Chicken (or any other meat could be substituted. *I also love to use ground elk or organic grass fed ground beef, both are equally delicious) -Rice: Basmati...
