Dinner: Homemade Mac n Cheese

This filling dish was a variation on a Progresso's Recipe Starters recipe. Chad loved it. Here's how I made it:

5 cups whole grain rotini
1 can Progresso Recipe Starters Creamy three cheese
1 T minced garlic
1/2 cup milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cottage cheese
Bread crumbs, optional

Heat oven to 400. Boil pasta according to package directions. While pasta is boiling, heat recipe starter, garlic, and milk until boiling. Turn off heat and stir in both cheeses until melted. Stir in pasta, and pour into 2.5qt casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake 20 min or until edges are bubbly. Serve and enjoy!

To Grandma's House

Belle had her first adventure today since her declaw surgery. This was also her first time going to see Granny at her house. She had fun being nosy and checking out all of the new sights and smells while I picked out unique buttons to add to my Christmas crafts.
