Mac-n-Cheese fit for a Gluten Free Queen!!

Before I was GF I was known for my awesome Mac n cheese. I would bake it in the oven and it would be cheesy yummy with a crispy top to it. Well that was then and this is now!

I was craving comfort food and Annie's products that are GF are a staple in my home. So I just altered it a bit. Instead of butter or milk like it says on the box I put Organic plain low fat yogurt. Then the cheese packet then topped it with some shredded cheddar leftover in my fridge. Let me just say yum-o and picky kid approved!!

Now I'm just waiting for my Sunday shows to start! Bring on Don Draper (Mad Men) and Mr. Selfridge! And maybe some Revenge hopefully : )

Peanut Butter, Banana Chia Smoothie

This morning I wanted something a little more filling than my usual juice, so I whipped up this little gem!

Peanut Butter, Banana Chia Smoothie
For one:

1 Banana
Little bit of ice
Cup or 1 1/2 of almond milk (depending on consistency you like)
2 tsp of peanut butter
2 tsp of Agave nectar
2 tsp of chia seeds

All of the ingredients you can add more or less depending how sweet or peanutty you like it. This formula just works for me and I like to not go over board with the calories in it. For the kids I add more peanut butter for extra protein and make it a tiny bit sweeter too.

My favorite almond milk is always "Almond Breeze" Vanilla 30 calories per serving.

Whole Foods peanut butter, agave nectar and I also pick up my chia seeds there too : )
