Description

Delicious recipes that (most times!) end up in a bowl, hence the name Bowl Me Over. My goal is to inspire you, making meal time more fun and less complicated!

Macaroni and Cheese is the perfect comfort food. I understand theres more polished and healthier ways to make it, but when Im eating Macaroni and Cheese I want it to be the best. Lets face it, its not healthy to begin with so for those few times each year you do enjoy it, this is worth it!

Macaroni and cheese doesnt make a weekly occurrence in our home. Its saved for special times when you need just an extra amount of love!
