It’s Pizza

and Mac and Cheese

all in  one delicious skillet 

Pizza Mac and Cheese

 

Some people love to cook, some don’t.

I happen to be one that does {I bet  you didn’t know that}

Making dinner is one of my favorite parts of the day…usually, that is until we sit down to the table, and then the whining.

OMG it’s mind-numbingly annoying.

“what is this?’ “that looks gross.” “can’t you make normal food?” “I’m not eating.”

kids are SO much fun aren’t they?

If  it’s not a burger, pizza, or mac and cheese, chances are there WILL be whining, and plenty of it, and this is why wine was invented.

BUT,  every now and then I like to give my ears, and  my liver, a break, and make something the kids will actually eat without complaint.

Pizza and mac and cheese, all in one.

There was not a complaint to be heard, but here may have been wine anyways.
