HOW MACARONI AND CHEESE IS MADE

I like to make my mac and cheese extra special by adding panko breadcrumbs on top along with fresh Parmigiano Reggiano, THIS is the stuff dreams are made of.

To make a very cheesy pasta ~ Boil one Box of Macaroni which is 375 grams typically =8.82 ounces. To make a lighter less cheesy version, yet still very good pasta ~ Boil 450 grams of Macaroni.

We hope you enjoy it as well! Creamy with the right amount of crunch!

Also want to make two batches? Just double the recipe and use two baking pans. This freezes easily for another day, just let it cool and then seal it in a ziplock bag.

Transfer to a lightly oiled baking dish the day of baking and top with your breadcrumbs and bake.

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

Leave a comment

Ohhhh Blueberries i love you. I must admit, when i was a kid i hated fruit. But now that i am an adult i love it. Maybe it is because almost all my desserts are made with it!! Or maybe its because i finally have found an excuse to eat frozen yogurt and ice-cream more often. When making Frozen Yogurt i often choose one with a fruit base, and this is certainly one of my favorites. Plus it’s super easy to make and is so healthy for you its very hard for my guests to say NO to even if on a diet. Because once i tell them whats in it and that Blueberries are the King of Antioxidants, which are packed full of fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and more there sold. And for me its more than enough reasons alone to eat this every night.

Kitchen Essentials:

To make 2 quarts of Blueberry Frozen Yogurt:

Add your frozen blueberries to your food processor, pulse till blended.
Now lets make the frozen yogurt base, start by adding your cold yogurt, milk, condensed milk, lime juice and blueberries into a large bowl and mix with a spatula till blended.
Once your mixture is blended, pour the mixture into your frozen Cuisinart maker and process for 25 minutes or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Now comes the fun part, grab a large plastic container will a lid (you will be using this to freeze your frozen yogurt in) after letting it sit for 30 mins in the (Cuisinart machine which makes it easier to remove) then you can start by pouring all of your frozen yogurt mixture in your container.
Freeze for 2 hours and serve.
Before scooping, enjoy!

Note: Set outside the freezer 10-20 minutes prior to scooping.

Strawberry & Red Velvet Kefir Milkshake

Got a Craving for a Milkshake?

How about a RED VELVET Milkshake?

One day I was having a serious sweet tooth and was craving Red Velvet Cake, then i thought why not make a Red Velvet Milkshake. So i did, and now this recipe is on my list of all time favorite “Red Velvet” creations. Plus its much healthier than any regular milkshake since it contains Kefir Yogurt as opposed to ice cream. Kefir Yogurt is great, because it contains plenty of nutrients and probiotics that are good for you gut health. The secret is adding in a whole cup of Strawberry Kefir, and 3/4 cup of milk to make this the up most creamiest shake for 2. I hope you enjoy!!
