Comfort Food - Mac N Cheese!

It's no secret that I absolutely love the 21 Day Fix Cookbook, Fixate.  This is my number one, go to tool for meal prep!  It's been such a time saver!



One of my absolute favorite recipes is the Mac N Cheese recipe.  It is to die for!  I've made it pretty much every week since I picked this baby up!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked whole wheat macaroni
  • 4 tsp coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast
  •  6 cups steamed broccoli
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
  • Pre-make the chicken, broccoli, and macaroni.
    • Note: follow the box of macaroni for cooking instructions but skip any "extras" like salt or oil
  • Melt oil in a large saucepan
  • Add flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute or until brown
  • Slowly whisk in almond milk, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until thickened
  • Reduce heat to low and add cheese, continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes until all cheese is melted
  • Add chicken, broccoli, macaroni, salt, and pepper.  Stir for 1 minute or until heated through.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Mason cannot get enough of this recipe!  He loves it!  

Another thing I LOVE about this is how great the leftovers keep.  I'm always skeptical of reheating broccoli but this heats up perfectly!
