"Working with @thefeedfeed and @annieshomegrown today! #sponsored Sometimes, a bowl of mac and cheese straight from the box is all I can do. Other times, I try to continue to prove I'm an adult and ~ dress up ~ my mac n cheese. This is one of those times. @Annieshomegrown mac has always been my favorite, and their gluten-free mac is the best out there. I am living for summer produce right now, and so is @dillpicklefoodcoop, so I had to make this recipe. Head there to shop everything you need to make this yummy, easy mac that is @feedfeed worthy and impress your roomie, friend, or hey - just yourself."
