a stadium food themed week!

if we can't attend sports events and indulge in their food, then let's bring the stadium food home and HEalth it up why we're at it! 

Hey friends! 

I have created a fun week of Stadium Themed Meals to keep the healthy meals fun and ridiculously tasty for everyone! 
​
Get ready to enjoy hot dogs, burgers, nachos and pizza this week!  If you prefer not to make your own homemade mac-n-cheese, there is also a healthy short-cut substitution, because I know sometimes time is not always on our side. 

I hope you enjoy these fun twists and healthy additions to some real good meals ya'll!

​
To make homemade mac-n-cheese, cook pasta according to packaged directions.  Then heat 2-3 tbsp. of butter in a large pot or pan, add in chopped kale or chopped broccoli to saute for 5 minutes.  Next, add in cooked noodles, tons of cheese, a little bit of milk (plain almond milk works too) , salt, pepper, garlic powder and stir altogether.  Once cheese has melted, dive on in friends!
