Yummy!! This casserole looks great! Looks so quick and easy to make during a week night, I will have to give this a try, Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Delicious recipe! You have a great blog, I’ll look forward to stopping by.
Love your site. Mac-n-cheese is a favorite and this recipe looks great, nice balance of flavors and a little chicken for protein. Can’t wait to give it a try. The tropical protein shake looks good too, never thought to freeze the pineapple chunks to make it icy (I will be giving that a try tomorrow)!
Yum this is comfort food at its best. Love it!
