Smoked Macaroni & Cheese
Smoked Macaroni & Cheese is a wonderful comfort food that is sure to be a hit! You essentially take a recipe for macaroni and cheese but enhance the flavor by smoking it vs baking it. A few things I’d like to point out: The smokey flavor is well developed – you can taste it in each bite but it’s not overpowering. It’s pretty effortless to make – you assemble, smoke, add some toppings, and dig in! It’s smoked in a foil pan so it’s easy to cover and transport to another location. It can be a full meal, served as a side, or shared at a potluck or party. The recipe can be found here. Let’s walk through how to make it. Start by preheating your smoker to 250 degrees F and add hickory wood chips. I think this recipe tastes great with hickory but feel free to experiment with another wood chip flavor. Bring … Continue reading

Pimento Mac & Cheese
Pimento Mac & Cheese is an easy weeknight skillet meal the whole family will love! It’s packed with flavor and combines 2 of my favorite things….mac and cheese and pimento cheese. I personally think pimentos are underutilized in recipes, so this is a great recipe for them to shine. I can’t wait to make it again! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and use 1 Tbsp softened butter to grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente. You don’t want to overcook and make them mushy. Drain the noodles and set aside. While the noodles are cooking, make the cheese sauce. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour, paprika, and salt, and whisk to combine. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly. The mixture will start to turn a … Continue reading

Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese is a great one-pot meal that will blow your mind! It’s a twist on traditional mac & cheese that is easy to make and done in minutes. It’s super cream, full of tender chicken, and has a great spicy and tangy flavor from the addition of buffalo sauce. The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken into bite sized pieces. Add the chicken to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat all pieces. Turn on the sauté function of the Instant Pot. Add a small amount of oil. I like to use avocado oil or coconut oil, but olive oil works just as well. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir the chicken while it cooks so it doesn’t stick to the bowl of the Instant … Continue reading

Vegan Buffalo Mac & Cheese
Vegan Buffalo Mac & Cheese will make your dreams come true one bite at a time. It’s the ultimate comfort food! Each bite is creamy, loaded with buffalo spice, and has the slightest crunch from toasted breadcrumbs. It’s the perfect recipe to take your dinner game to the next level. The recipe can be found here. The first step is to bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instruction. Drain and set aside. I like to use chickpea noodles because they are packed with protein and fiber but use any noodle you prefer. I think the texture of chickpea noodles is very similar to regular noodles, as well as the taste. Next, bring a small pot of water to a boil (you can also do this while the noodles are cooking). Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and … Continue reading
