Fall Mac and Cheese

Level of Difficulty: Medium
Serves: 6

I recently took some time off from my day job and I had the opportunity to discovered day time television. I fell in love with ABC's The Chew. I have adapted several of the recipes from the show to be Gluten Free.  This recipe was inspired by Micheal Symon's Halloween Mac and Cheese. I have adapted the recipe to be Gluten free and included my own instructions.  I found theirs very hard to follow if you do not watch the show.

Fall Mac and Cheese (without optional topping)

This is a great recipe in the fall when you can get fresh squash. It is also highly addictive, it is hard to resist eating the entire pan.

Makes ~6 servings where each one (excluding topping) has approximately:

Italian Wedding Soup

Level of Difficulty: Medium

Serves: 6

This is a great appetizer or entree.  I think this is a great meal after a workout. It is light meal that hydrates and satisfies my hunger without undoing the effects of the workout. 

I am also a fan of spicy food, so I make with spicy sausage and the full amount of red pepper flakes. If spicy, is not your fancy, you can use sweet sausage and reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
