Mac n Cheese!


I get a lot of questions about comfort foods and favorites. Many people ask if I miss them. There's very few things you can't make or find in a delicious gluten free version. The ones I can't find I am working on here. For Macaroni and Cheese-the ultimate comfort food, especially on these rainy days you can buy Amy's gluten free Mac and Cheese, frozen and microwaveable...or you can make it your way.

I decided to make it with brown rice pasta for extra heartiness and whole grain health. You have your choice of cheese...but use a melty texture no matter what cheese or cheeses. To make it Vegan or dairy free, head over to Whole Foods or Mother's for tasty vegan cheese. Now decide if you want stovetop or baked style mac and cheese. I decided to do both. 



Mac and Cheese Both Ways
2 c Gluten Free Pasta
6-12oz cheese of choice, grated or cubed for melty-ness
1/4 c milk of choice
2-4oz grated cheese of choice (optional)


Boil the pasta (2 minutes short of the package directions if you are going to make it baked too). Drain and rinse. Add the cheese. (I used Velveeta). Then slowly add your milk and keep stirring until your desired consistency. Either serve as is or...

Fill mac and cheese into 8x8 oven safe glass pan. Top with grated cheese and bake at 350 degrees until crusty and melted. You can also save this step for day 2 to warm up leftovers.

Use as a side dish or add chicken and veggies for a delicious meal!
