I am an equal opportunity cook: I cook things from scratch, I cook things from a box, I cook healthy foods and not-so-healthy foods, I prepare meals, snacks, and desserts, light dishes and comfort dishes, meals with and without meat, with/without dairy... If it has the potential to be delicious I will cook it. That being said, there should be a little bit of something on here for everybody who likes to cook--and eat!

Unforgettable Mac n Cheese!!!

I'm going to a BBQ, and what's a better side dish to bring than homemade Mac N Cheese??? This is not just any mac, however, it's mac with a kick!

I always add extra cheese, because there's no such thing as mac that's "too cheesy". I also add jalapeƱo to mine for some bite. The spiciness of the peppers and the creaminess of the cheeses balance each other perfectly!

The texture is also ideal because it is soft and comforting with some crunch from the peppers and topping!

The color of the green peppers pops amongst the oranges, yellows, and browns of the mac; making this a beautiful dish! The warm comfort and vibrant colors of the casserole make it enticing to all who look upon it...

This is definitely a keeper!


**Heat can be adjusted according to preference by adding more/less jalapeƱos.


This is before placing it in the oven. The oven gives it a toasty crust on the top, which is fabulous! I didn't get a picture of it out of the oven because everyone got to it first!!!



It helps to measure the ingredients while the noodles are cooking. This adds a few extra dishes to wash, but is worth it because it makes the cooking process so much more efficient!


To crush the cornflakes quicker and with less mess, place them in a sandwich bag and use a rolling pin to gently crush them. **Be careful to make sure the bag is slightly opened or devoid of air so that it doesn't pop!






Use a fair method, such as "paper-rock-scissors" to determine who gets to eat the leftovers (if you have any).
