Messy Kitchen Happy Belly
I happily share my adventures in cooking, my love of gardens and farmer’s markers and all things that leave your kitchen messy and your belly happy.
Here's a lightened up version of a classic favorite. I made it with veggie pasta (believe me, it's tasty) and lighter cheese. The result is a mac and cheese that maintains its cheesy goodness without being dense or heavy.
