Microwave Mac and Cheese in a Mug
It's official. My life is changed forever now that I can have a piping hot mug of delicious mac and cheese in five minutes FLAT. No joke on that five minutes - the pasta and water cook in the microwave for four minutes, during which you grate your cheddar cheese. The mug comes out of the microwave, gets a quick stir, the cheese and half and half get thrown in, and after another thirty seconds in ...
Vegetarian Bolognese Sauce
I'm bout to have some Italians chasing me down with pitchforks for using the oxymoron "Vegetarian Bolognese"...but wait! It's yummy. And it looks like a bolognese. And it feels like a bolognese. And it has a lot of the same ingredients...so, can we still be frands? I realize that I just created a vegetarian version of a super traditionally meat loaded sauce...kind of like saying "Vegetarian Fried ...

One Pot Three Cheese Mac and Cheese
"Three Cheese Mac and Cheese"...sounds kinda repetitive doesn't it? The thought crossed my mind, but then I asked myself, how could you ever say no to a recipe title that uses the word "cheese" twice? So I left it, because two cheeses in one title = a winning meal. Because cheese is bae. And so is mac and cheese. And so are one pot meals. I know...I need to stop with the one pot pastas. I need ...
