Everything is still just as stressful as it was earlier yesterday morning, but having nights like tonight make it so much easier to see that everything is minuscule and I will come out of the other end of this chaotic downward slope alright.

Guiltless Mac 'N Cheese
Healthy Mac ‘N Cheese
(Dairy)
No, you don’t need to check your glasses prescription; this is a recipe for healthy Mac’ N Cheese.
What's more, it actually tastes good.
I'm sorry if this recipe goes against your religion, but I had to do it.
I love Mac ‘N Cheese; it's up there between my family and puppies. It's way up there with chocolate, ice cream, and snow days.
I'm like most people, when I say that growing up, on days that seemed longer than 24 hours, when supper came around my mother was too tired to prepare a four course affair. When you are at the age when missing a few teeth is cute and not sad, your mom is like a seasoned chef when she offers to make you Mac ‘N Cheese for dinner.
Now let's be honest, we’re just friends here, who has the patience to make a roux on a Wednesday night?
Not me, and not my mother, so I got to bounce around the room while she pulled out the cheese powder from the box. A bit of margarine and an exquisite cheese sauce was made.
For fun, I now try to spell a few of the ingredients on the side of that box. It's a great diet starter, because by the end I kind of lose my appetite.
Now that I am a bit older, and I don’t want to sprinkle death over my pasta, I long for Mac ‘N Cheese. This recipe is my compromise between health and memories, but not taste.
The secret to its success is the Greek yogurt I used in the sauce to make it super creamy. The vegetables give the dish some extra texture and the panko bread crumb topping gives it a punch of flavor.
This recipe is for a crowd, but you can easily make half if you want to feed four happy costumers. It's freezer friendly so you can even save some for the next time you can't be bothered to make a roux, or anything for dinner.

My secret to staying warm...
It is absurdly, inhumanly, unimaginably cold in Israel.
When I made Aliyah I thought that the weather wouldn't move with me.
Almost eight and a half years later, it seems it has .
Cold weather demands warm, hearty soups and my latest recipe for Jewcy is just that!
