Easy Mac N Cheese



Your own homemade Mac N Cheese that takes about 15 min. Definitely a favorite recipe of mine!


INGREDIENTS (SERVING SIZE FOR 2)


1 1/2 cup Pasta (I usually go whole grain or organic macaroni, rotini, penne, or ziti)
1 cup Cheese (any mix to your liking)
1/4 cup Milk (I use unsweetened original almond milk)
A dash of salt
A dash of olive oil


DIRECTIONS

  • Heat water to a boil on high in a sauce pan and add salt and oil.
  • Once the water is boiling stir in pasta.
  • When the pasta is tender strain the pasta.
  • Bring the pasta back to the pot and add the milk and cheese.
  • Put the pot back on the burner to med heat and stir your pasta till creamy.
This is the super simple version, but you can add seasoned bread crumbs with butter on top and put it under a broiler, you can add fresh shredded spinach, you can add cooked sausage ( I broil applegate farms hot dogs, cut them up, and add it to mine :P) and do countless other things to this recipe! I make this for my self all the time for a quick meal and I half the ingredients. ( 3/4 cup pasta, 1/2 cup cheese, 2 tbsp milk)

Enjoy!

Why Go Organic?

So Why Go Organic?

Some people might scoff at the idea of spending more money on Organic food but I'm gonna tell you why Organic just might be the only way to go.

In the early 90's America allowed natural farm raised food to be bio chemically changed.
Not only that, but U.S.A. government also doesn't have to label on any product if it used or is a genetically engineered food! i.e. anything that has been produced in the U.S.A that isn't labeled Organic could possibly be an engineered food like any produce, cereal, wheat, soy, cottonseed oil, canola, corn, ext.

Why is bio genetically altered food so bad?
Well, the only reason why they altered the food in the first place was so that the plant would work well with a specific pesticide. The company that owned the pesticide now owns the seed (to a ton of different crops) and also works for our FDA. 
You don't want to be a lab rat right? 
The FDA didn't want any testing to be done to see if there were any bad side effects to eating these biologically changed foods. So it's untested, and in my mind, unsafe. The are no known health benefits to these Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) and many possible health risks.

Organic, by law, has to guarantee that it does not have Genetically Modified Organisms.  

So yes Organic might be more expensive but that's a price I'm willing to pay to know I'm not being a lab rat for the government.

To get a wide variety of Organic food visit your local Farmers Market, Co'op, Trader Joe's, or Market store.

And for more info on this subject watch THE FUTURE OF FOOD, this really opened my eyes!
