You guys, I have been running around crazy all week at work. While in LA on business, I started the second season of Buying Beverly Hills. Is anyone else watching? I really want to know what happened with Kyle and Mo. Honestly, I think Selling Sunset is better. It’s like eating an entire box of Oreos at once. It’s way too sweet, but you can’t stop. I’m curious if anyone else is watching. On that note, the real fun has been watching X-Men 97. I loved the cartoon as a kid, running around pretending I was Storm in the rain. It’s so nostalgic. If you loved the cartoon as a kid, you have to check it out!
Speaking of nostalgia and Mac n cheese. I don’t know about you, but all that wild eclipse energy makes me want to hunker down with some comfort food. I am so obsessed with this easy smoked macaroni and cheese – it’s a favorite in our household! I received it from a beloved coworker who crafted it years ago, and since then, I’ve been making it regularly, especially when I need something extra cheesy and comforting. Check out more of my favorite food recipes here, and if you really want to be mind-blown, listen up. You can buy the blue box of Mac and cheese powder in bulk. Yes! like the blue box kind. I shared it in my instastories last week, and y’all went bananas, I mean cheesy. Keep this bulk cheese powder on hand for a nostalgic good time.
