Spicy Italian Macaroni and Cheese

May 15, 2015 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

I am excited to partner with DairyPure milk to bring you this new recipe. While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

We love mac & cheese in our house. I don’t get to make it from scratch as often as I like but I try to make a big batch and then freeze it for later use at least once per month. Since we eat it a lot, I like to try and change it up from time to time and go beyond a basic macaroni and cheese. Recently, I wanted to make some that was geared a little more to the adults in our house and created spicy Italian macaroni and cheese.

Turkey, Spinach and Macaroni Bites

January 28, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Weeknights around here are crazy. I get home just in time to cook dinner and then it is time to check homework, take showers and get the kids in bed. I like to spend as much quality time with the kids as I can so I aim for meals that are delicious but easy to make. Right now, the only thing my four year old will eat with a spoon is guacamole so I have to make sure we have some finger friendly foods on the table too. I spend a lot of time trying to think outside of the box to ensure he gets more than just chicken nuggets and French fries. One of my favorite ways to get vegetables into him {and his sister} is to mix them with some of their favorite foods. That is how I created these turkey, spinach and macaroni bites.

Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Bites

November 11, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Every year, I host a Christmas party where we invite all of our family and friends to come and celebrate with us over drinks and food. I start planning the menu about 2 months in advance and am always looking for new things to add to it. I had been toying with the idea to recreate a favorite appetizer from a local Italian restaurant but that sort of morphed into this bacon macaroni and cheese bites the more I played around with it.

White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese with Hot Dogs

October 24, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Hot dogs play a big role at meal time in our household because our kids {especially our son} loves them. So, I am excited to partner with Hillshire Brands™ and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for this post. As always, while I may have been compensated, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Kids are funny when it comes to their eating habits. Mine focus on a few specific items and that is all they want to eat for weeks at a time. Then, they don’t like it anymore…at least until they tire of whatever they moved on to. Two thins that never get rejected are hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. To make my life easier, I just typically combine them and make a dish like white cheddar macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. It is always a win!

TBT – Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese

October 2, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

So, you know when you make something that becomes a family favorite and you share it with a ton of people {say, on a blog} but the pictures just don’t do the dish justice? Yeah, I have plenty of those cases. I’ve decided that those recipes need the equal opportunity to be discovered and tried so I have been taking new photographs of them and will be sharing them as a Throw Back Thursday series here and there. It won’t be an every Thursday thing but keep your eye out from some renewed love in an old dishes like this pumpkin macaroni and cheese.

Macaroni and cheese is pure comfort food. There is just something about pasta in a creamy, cheesy sauce that feels like a warm blanket or brings back memories of your favorite comfy clothes. I tend to get a little bored with regular macaroni and cheese so I like to change it up from time to time. Cajun macaroni and cheese takes all the goodness of the classic dish and adds some spice.…
