MEXICAN MAC & CHEESE BAKE

A big, bubbly batch of mac and cheese is always something that ignites hunger in me. I love a deliciously rich, cheesy pasta bake especially if there's a crusty topping to crack in to.
That's where my Mexican Mac & Cheese comes in! Shell pasta is tossed in a monterey jack and cheddar cheese sauce along with a saute of black beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, and baked under a layer of spiced panko crumbs until brown and gloriously bubbly.
Serve with your favourite hot sauce, sliced / diced avo, cilantro, or salsa for a fresh pop.

CLEANING OUT THE FRIDGE VEGGIE SOUP

If you're anything like me, you waste produce. In my case, I always buy too many vegetables with intentions of utilizing them for recipes, but then things come up and the produce dies in the fridge. How do we rectify this problem and stop ourselves from wasting our money AND our produce??
A big, ol' pot of soup, that's how!
Clean out your fridge and make a delicious batch of soup. Soup is a great way to utilize a lot of veggies all at once, plus, soup is freezable so those veggies will go a lot further!
I've got some fridge emptying soup inspiration coming up next week.
