Feel free to look in the archive or use the search box to find what you're looking for. I used to post all 5 recipes in one post but this prevented me from adding search terms (chicken, freezer, etc.) to each recipe. Recipes are seasonal so look back a year or two ago to see what I was posting in that same month! I'm in the process of going back and indexing earlier recipes. that will be posted separately from the meals. You will also occasionally find extra recipes - breads, desserts, breakfast items, etc. Earlier posts contain an organized shopping list.

You will find ONE FULL YEAR (plus more, as I continue to add) of weeknight meals. Bake uncovered until the sauce is bubbling and topping turns golden brown, 15-20 minutes. In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter and mix in the 1/2 c. Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Stir in the warm cream and the shredded cheese until it starts to melt. Drain the hot cooked pasta and add to the bowl with the butter and toss to coat. Meanwhile dice 3 tbsp of butter and place in a large mixing bowl (different than the one you'll use to bake the mac & cheese). Cook pasta 1-2 minutes shy of what the package says so it's al dente. You can also crush the Ritz crackers and shred the Muenster cheese ahead of time.ДЎ.

This is a really quick recipe but to make it even quicker, cook your pasta the night before just al dente (a minute or two before the cooking time listed on the package)В then drain and toss with a little olive oil and refrigerate.

Baked Mac & Cheese is something you want to serve right away after baking.
