5 Cheese Mac & Cheese

Don’t let the “5 cheese” description fool you into believing this recipe is difficult. It’s not. It’s ridiculously easy to put together – and it’s ready in about 15 minutes! Talk about fast food! I officially have absolutely ZERO excuse to buy those awful blue boxes anymore. 🙂


I’m not sure there is a better dinner to get your family around the table together on a busy weeknight. I honestly think that’s one of the main reasons everyone looks forward to Thanksgiving so much – being able to actually sit around the table from each other and enjoy a nice, long meal together. Personally, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for that exact reason!


Some weeks, no matter how hard I try and menu plan meals around our schedule, we are all still eating dinner at different times of the night. I honestly don’t stress about it too much, though. I call the night a success if I’ve made dinner at home at least and have avoided the drive through – at that point, as long as everyone eats at SOME point, I have victory! 🙂
