Tonight I'm making Philly Cheesesteak Mac and Cheese ala Rachael Ray's recipe in her new Big Orange Book. But then I figured since I have a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese, I'll just use that instead of making my own. And then it wants me to add roast beef, which I don't have, so I'll use a couple slices of pastrami and a couple slices of turkey. Complicated, I know. But it just goes to show you that you can add pretty much anything to mac and cheese and it'll still be delicious! Try adding:

• Vegetables, like tomatoes, brocolli, peas, onions, butternut squash, or cauliflower.
• Protein, like chicken, steak, or lunchmeats.
• Spices, like thyme, dill, parsley, or cilantro.
  
• EXTRA CHEESE!
