Snowed in...still.

Snow Day #2 Today I ventured out into the snow to buy coffee, beer, goldfish crackers, and mac and cheese. It’s an exciting life I lead. My beer is currently sitting in the snow outside until it is at least 2 pm… I figure it’s still a school day so I should at least wait until the kids would normally be on the bus to crack a beer. What happens when you’re snowed in as a crafter? You can get to all those projects that you have been pining on Pinterest.

Ruffle Butt onsie? Check.

Garter? Check.

Another bow tie? Check.

Mac and cheese bake? Check.

Here is how to make the delicious mac and cheese. I learned the red bell paper trick from Tim Roark and the Broccoli trick from Nicole Gelb. Life changing when combined. Maybe they would be a good couple? Hmmm. You will need:

• Annie’s White Cheddar Shells mac and cheese
• Broccoli 
• Red Pepper
• Panko 
• Milk 
• Cheddar cheese 

First, boil some water. Then throw in the red pepper, broccoli and pasta. Boil until pasta is done. Put in a colander. Make the cheese sauce with milk in your pan. Put the pasta and veggies in a pyrex. Pour the white sauce over it, then top with some cheddar cheese. Toss some panko on top. Broil for about 3 minutes. DONE.
