Mac n' Cheese Whizzed

Lovin' the orange! ps, I used gluten free pasta. KD and cheese whiz are probably not completely gluten-free but ah well!

Cheez Whiz, KD and a rather large banana.

Kraft dinner? Yes, kraft dinner. With chees whiz. Sounds like the most disgusting combination and definitely not something to be featured on a food blog right? Well, there's a story behind this. Laura. I've been friends with Laura for almost 9 years now. We met in grade 7. That was forever ago. To be honest, I don't miss those days. Junior high was not the highlight was anyone's life. It was a time of social awkwardness and cliquey teenagers. What I do miss from those days were times spent with Laura after school eating KD with cheese whiz. She still makes it better. Creamy, almost soupy mac n' cheese. It actually became a requested food item when I went to her house. Along with our mac n' cheese, we would have sundaes after. Those were the days, when I didn't feel sick after doing that to my body. 

So ever since I had this blog idea, I've been wanting to feature this. It's nothing gourmet, it's nothing fancy, it's completely bad for you. But it's heart-warming, cozy, and comforting. This was a week for a comforting dish. Things are going nuts. As if I wasn't doing enough outside of school, I am now doing another day with Special Olympics, signing on for a more permanent volunteer position at school, and getting more involved in Psi Chi (psychology honours society). I figure all this will eventually land me into med school. Eventually, hopefully, maybe. If not, I will just cook and eat for the rest of my life. Both of which are very enjoyable.

Let's not drag this on... here's the recipe!

Kelsey and I made this. We figured we would balance it with a spinach salad on the side. Then butter pecan ice cream with Ides of March later that night.

I also thoroughly enjoyed my mac n' cheese comfort while rocking my jammies. I love jammies.
