This Homemade Mac & Cheese has a whopping 30 grams

This Homemade Mac & Cheese has a whopping 30 grams of protein per serving! In my blog I list every ingredient that I grabbed from my local @earthfare to make this happen. So creamy, dreamy, and family-dinner friendly!
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/high-protein-homemade-mac-and-cheese/
.
FOR THE HOMEMADE MAC AND CHEESE:
5 cups Chicken Stock
16 ounce Favorite Dry Pasta
1 cup Cottage Cheese, blended
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
8 ounce Sharp Cheddar, shredded
6 ounce Gruyere, shredded
2 oz. Goat Cheese (optional)
1 cup Greek Yogurt
Salt + Pepper, to taste
.
CRISPY CRUST IF YOU WANT TO BAKE IT:
1 cup Crushed Butter Crackers
½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. Melted Butter
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large stockpot. Once boiling, add the dried pasta and continue to boil until al dente according to packaged directions (this time will vary by shape).
2. Once al dente - DO NOT DRAIN - add the whipped cottage cheese, garlic powder, sharp cheddar, gruyere, optional goat cheese, and Greek yogurt. Mix together, taste, and add salt + pepper per your preference.
3. If you’d like... the mac and cheese is ready from here. However, if you want to bake it, go ahead and preheat your oven to 400F. While preheating, transfer the mac and cheese to a large casserole dish. Top with crushed crackers, parmesan, and drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/crispy-cheesy-dill-pickle-chips/
.
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 cups Shredded Cheese
• 24 - 36 Dill Pickle Chips, as needed
• 1 tbsp. Blackening Seasoning
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Take 24 - 36 dill pickle chips and pat them dry on a few paper towels.
2. Grab a non-stick 12-cup muffin tin. Fill each cup with a big pinch of shredded cheese. Top each cheese cup with two or three dill pickle chips. Next you’ll sprinkle on your favorite seasoning blend into each cup and top with more cheese to cover the pickles.
3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese has melted and browned.
4. OPTIONAL: After they have baked, removed each cheesy pickle chip from the muffin tin and place them in the air fryer at 400F for 5 minutes for extra crisp.
5. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. I love these with ranch or my Tangy Alabama White Sauce.

A few years ago I used to make sourdough loaves for my family and neighbors on the regular. Been thinking about getting back into it again. I’m not a baker but I loved baking bread. The smells remind me of my early teens, as we had a bread maker that my dad would set overnight and I’d wake up to savory warm smells in the morning. My own bread making days were in a Dutch oven, but I also have a bread maker I should try to utilize from time to time. Do you all like baking your own bread at home? Do you want to learn about my sourdough recipe? Let me know! Happy Sunday! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

1. Marinate the chicken in the juices and taco seasoning for a minimum of 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. While you’re waiting for the marinade, go ahead and mix all ingredient for the avocado corn salsa in a large bowl. Cover and set in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the tostadas.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Pan fry for 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165F.
4. While the chicken is pan-frying, heat up the beans and tostada shells.
5. To serve, simply place the warmed tostada shell on a plate, spread with desired amount of refried beans, top with the cooked chicken, avocado corn salsa, lettuce, and Mexican Crema or sour cream.
