One Dish Mac and Cheese dinner with veggies and ham is a huge hit with my family using Horizon! #ad #macnator

 

It's that time of the year…..spring sports are in full swing for both of my teens.

My son is on the varsity golf team and my daughter is on the varsity soccer team. The nights are late I tell you…late! Did I also mention horribly cold. I sure love watching and supporting them.

Many days I am having to feed my daughter by 5pm to get  her to the 7pm home game. My son's golf starts immediately after school if not earlier. Poor thing has to eat when he gets home….usually 8 or 9pm. He has snacks to tide him over until then.

So most nights during this time, I need something quick and it's a plus if I can throw it together earlier.

That can become a challenge.

The slow cooker is great, but the family doesn't want it everyday. 

It's fabulous for mom when you can come up with something that has great ingredients, convenience and great taste…..and I'm not talking the drive-thru kids!

The Horizon Reduced Fat Milk has been a staple in our home since the kiddos transitioned to regular milk. I was pleased to discover that Horizon had a Mac & Cheese line.

Most of these ingredients, I had on hand. I only had to pick up the Horizon Mac & Cheese and the diced ham. I usually keep the ham on hand. I'll now be adding the Horizon Mac & Cheese to my list of staples. 

Here is my oh so easy and quick recipe for all those busy nights.

Crusty French bread and tossed green salad is a nice accompaniment if desired.

Mac & Cheese is not just for little kids, but big kids and adults can sure put away quite a few spoonfuls. 

I doubled the above recipe for my family of 4. My 2 teens can put some food away during sports season.

 

There is enough left over for a couple of lunches. My daughter plans to take a container in her lunchbox. I think the leftovers would even be great cold on the run like a pasta salad.

It was a hit. I'll definitely be having this on more of those busy nights. 

I've got a treat for you. The Horizon MAC-N-ATOR is a mac-n-cheese recipe generator that will surprise and delight your family, while making your life (a little) easier.  Simply select the ingredients that you have in your kitchen and the MAC-N-ATOR will generate a mac & cheese recipe for you using Horizon Mac & Cheese.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
