Shrimp Scampi

This is a classic dish for a reason. The garlic and lemon juice combine for a delicious sauce that’s delicious and light yet coats the pasta and shrimp for an amazing flavor!

Copycat Panera Mac and Cheese

Vegetarian

I try not to eat a lot of fast food but sometimes when I want a quick meal I will run to Panera Bread and pick something up. One of my favorites is their mac and cheese! It’s incredibly creamy and totally worth the trip. I have found a way to get this wonderful dish at home with this easy recipe. One ingredient that you really need is some really good sharp white cheddar. I love the Cracker Barrel brand, you can find it here. Having it freshly grated also really helps it melt and become super creamy. This comes out so good and reheats well the next day too!  Continue reading “Copycat Panera Mac and Cheese”
