Behold! My first attempt at making homemade macaroni and cheese was just as quick and tasty as Erin promised. I used whole wheat pasta shells and reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, so it didn’t knock me into a creamy carb coma afterward.
I also tried roasting broccoli for the first time—yum! The combination of cheesy pasta and crisp, oven-baked broccoli has become my new favorite weeknight comfort meal.
Here are the recipes: Quick “Box” Mac and Cheese from Naturally Ella and Roasted Broccoli on The Kitchn. Bon appétit!
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

Roasting vegetables is my absolute favorite way to eat them! It really brings out the flavor. Besides broc, I love to roast Brussels sprouts and asparagus.

You have no idea how thrilled I am to discover your blog and this post. I am SO making this next week and I love the addition of the broccoli and grape tomatoes.

The link to the Mac & Cheese no longer works.

Hi Kelsey! Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, since I didn’t create these, I don’t have control over them.
