Macaroni and Cheese Pizza

Mac'n'Cheese PizzaI found this recipe over at one of my favorite blogs Plain Chicken . It combines two of our families favorite foods, mac’n'cheese and pizza. So I knew we would love it when I saw the recipe. Guess what, we did! Although we usually have a frozen Delissio for movie night, as my son is chief movie night chef, I may have to occasionally take over and add this to the rotation. Or, as my son is getting older and loving cooking, this is easy enough that I could even teach it to him. Yup, that sounds like a good plan to me. So make it, eat it, you’ll thank me later. Oh and special thanks to Stephanie, for the recipe in the first place :)

  • 1 pizza crust-store bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup alfredo sauce
  • 1/4 cup macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

2. Top with alfredo sauce, then macaroni, both cheeses and bacon.

3. Return to oven and cook for additional 15 minutes, or until bottom of crust is cooked through.

4. Slice, Eat, Enjoy!

Disney Dining Day 3

Eating at the French QuarterDay 3 saw us back to the Disneyland side of things. After a quick breakfast at the hotel we headed over to the parks, our first stop ToonTown. We visited with Mickey and Minnie went on the go coaster had an overall lovely morning. Then we took the train to New Orleans (one of the best parts of Disneyland if you ask me) and had lunch at the French Market Restaurant, it was a cold day so we were planning to go have soup at Harbour Galley but it was closed :( I had the four cheese macaroni with shiitake mushrooms and it was fabulous, really creamy sauce, baked to perfection crumb topping, yummy vegetables on the side. It was a great meal!Four CHeese Macaroni Meal

We decided to have our treat at the Mint Julep Bar right after lunch because we have all wanted to try Beignets and they were right there. Basically a really good , sugary donut. The family pack of six feed us perfectly as there were six of us in the party. Beignet.

For dinner we left the parks, first we did some shopping at Target ( we don’t have these yet in Canada, but they are coming!) then off to dinner at the amazing family favorite Fuddrucker’s. ( again we don’t have these were we live so we always try to find one if we are in the States). It was amazing, I had the triple cheese burger and the wedge fried which of course I dipped in the jalapeno cheese sauce. The funnest part of Fuddrucker’s is that you get to put on your own toppings with their fixin’s bar. Yummy and fun, makes for a great meal!three cheese burger

The kids meals come with cookies and man I was kind of wishing that the adult meals came with cookies too, because they looked so good! Oh well, I didn’t have room to fit in my belly anyways!cookie selections
