Comfort Food Sunday!

After a day of housework both inside and out, it was time for me to put on the pajamas nice and early and dive into the best comfort food as a reward for my hard work! But you know me, have to be bad in a good way!!!

Macaroni and cheese is my WEAKNESS, every now and then I enjoy the blue box, or even velveeta! But it isnt always worth the guilt afterwads. So it was my mission to make a "Mac&Cheese" I could feel good about! SPAGHETTI SQUASH!! *are you surprised??*

I roasted my squash this time with a little salt and pepper, thats it! But what I really want to share is my cheese sauce.

For the sauce:

1cup Almond Milk (skim would work well too), divided into 1/4 and 3/4 cups

4tsp of all purpose flour

1/3cup of reduced fat shredded cheddar (I use Sargento)

garlic pepper (to taste) *feel free to play with your spices too - think outside the box!*

In a small pot/saucepan, whisk together 1/4c of milk with the flour
Then add the 3/4c of milk and bring to a boil *MEDIUM HEAT*, stir frequently
Reduce to LOW and simmer for about 2 mins, stir constantly as it thickens
Remove from the heat and mix in the cheese and pepper until its thickened, melted, and glorious!!!

This sauce is a lot like velveeta, and is also great for dipping fries, making nachos, and best part, YOU MADE IT FRESH, NOTHING PROCESSED! =)

Enjoy. Happy Sunday! Hope you all had a great weekend
