Salutations from Paris! Our luggage didn’t exactly accompany us to France when we boarded the aircraft from Indianapolis to JFK to Paris.
So we’re eating croissant after croissant after croissant to numb our sorrows. It certainly seems to be beneficial.
I do, however, have my go-to mac and cheese dish to give today for those of you getting ready for those New Year’s resolutions.
Now, when I mention resolutions, I mean that as of January 1st, I’ll be eating nothing but greens. Let’s indulge and have the creamiest mac and cheese ever for the next three days.
I also added broccoli as a courtesy to you guys.
Creamy broccoli mac and cheese Ingredients
- medium pasta shells, 8 ounces
- Unsalted butter, two teaspoons
