BBQ Pulled Pork Mac N' Cheese

If that title does not have you drooling you may want to check your pulse because you might be dead. Seriously, I am drooling just thinking about it. Cheesy delicious baked mac 'n cheese is a thing of beauty all on its own. So is smoky tangy bbq pulled pork. Put the two together? Well that's just magic. This recipe takes a little while (we usually start the pork Saturday night and make the rest for Sunday dinner) but it is well worth the effort. Marinate the pork overnight then slap it in the crockpot in the morning. By dinner time you will have comfort food to die for.

 

 

Chicken Cordon Bleu ala Brights

I'm a big fan of well used recipes. Recipes that you learned years and years ago that you know so well you can throw them together without even thinking about it. Meals that over time have become a staple of your household. 

This is one of those recipes for me. Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic french dish and it is easy to see why. Chicken, ham, melted cheese? Sold. Plus it is way easier than is seems so it is a great dish to pull out when you want to impress but don't want all of the stress.  We update the classic a bit by doing away with the old swiss and kicking up the ham. 

Cajun Mac and Cheese

We're big Mac and Cheese fans in this house. Soft pasta, ooey gooey cheese, what's not to love? We are always on the lookout for new ways to spice up a favorite recipe. We came across this recipe by Rachel Ray and decided it was worth a try.
