For the past few weeks I've been on a 8 week fitness challenge which basically means that I've had to loose the carbs and stick to veggies and lean meats. For the past few weeks, I've also had a craving for macaroni & cheese (insert sigh here) Why do these things keep on happening?
Yes I've been eating fantastic over the past few weeks but I could not say no to this! Authentic macaroni and cheese it so delicious that I don't really need to say more.
I created a recipe that is not only quick and easy that you could whip this up in no time. Perfect for a mid week meal, meatless monday and perfect for the kids.
The only problem is..... don't eat it all at once : )
Enjoy!

Macaroni & Cheese - Serves 4
Ingredients
150gm butter

1. Cook the macaroni according to packet instructions. Once cooked drain and set aside.
2. In a saucepan on medium to low heat, melt the butter. Add the milk and stir with a wisk until combined.
3. Add both cheese to the mixture and mix well. Once combined, slowly start to add the flour. This will help thicken up the sauce.
