Mac & Cheese Meat Casserole
December 28, 2011
Well the Christmas break was interesting for sure! I started off the trip to my parents with a cold and came back home with a stomach bug. The worst part is losing your taste buds for a week and everything you eat taste like cardboard. Guess I don’t have to worry about gaining to much this holiday season! The last couple of days have been trying indeed, but the good thing is I should be caught up on my sleep.
Tonight we debated on what we could make for dinner that would be easy since we don’t have a lot of energy to do anything. Its been crackers and soup for the past couple of days and we were hungry. An easy mac and cheese casserole was definitely in the cards. ENJOY!!
