Now don’t get me wrong. I love the mac and cheese that comes in the little blue box, just as much as the next girl.

But there is something extra good about making homemade macaroni and cheese.

I’m going to step out on a bit of a limb here, but I love using small pasta shells for my mac and cheese. The sauce coats and fills the opening making them like little cheesy pasta tacos.

Little. Cheesy. Pasta. Tacos?

That makes sense right?

Never mind. Don’t answer that.

And what better cheese is there for mac and cheese then the American classic, Velveeta?

For that, there is no debate.

Those rare times I want to keep meals a little healthy and include things called veggies into my diet, I will throw in a few handfuls of frozen broccoli into the boiling water as I am cooking the pasta.

I love meals that come together using one pan. Makes clean up a breeze!
