@rosiepiper_: mac and cheese and hot dogs went multiplatinum in my childhood and love making this grown up version every fall. it’s always such a hit! + M is at an age that she can stand in her toddler tower and be involved with cooking and we have been trying to really prioritize including her vs just distracting her. So she helps me add things to bowls, I tell her what i’m doing, she mixes random things, cracks egg when we need it, snacks on the food of course, etc. It’s a longer process but so worth it to include her! I have used @broccyourbody uash mac as inspo for years but switched up a couple things so here’s what I do for this whole meal. ingredients: - asparagus - I used the anything seasoning from @Kosmo’s BBQ for the asparagus - andouille sausage (I used @Amylu Foods for this recipe) - a box of rigatoni - 3 tbsp of butter - 1 1/2 tbsp of flour - 2 cups of milk (we had 2% on hand) - 8 sage leaves finely chopped (about 1.5 tbsp) - 4 sprigs of thyme ( I removed the leaves from them and added them in about 1 tbsp) - 1 tsp garlic powder - 1/4 tsp nutmeg - 1/4 tsp chili flakes - half 15oz can of pumpkin puree - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese - 2 cups of shredded gouda - garnish with shredded parm - salt & pepper to taste 1. aspargus: cut up, toss in oil and I did the anything seasoning from kosmos q. add to the oven at 425 and roast for 15 minutes. once finished, top with grated parm 2. andouille sausage: sautée in a pan and set aside. you’ll use the same pan to make your sauce 3. mac & cheese: boil your pasta according to your package. 4. to make the sauce: over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. it’ll thicken up! 1. slowly add in your 2 cups of milk and whisk as you do. make sure to do this slowly so this doesn’t clump up. bring to a light simmer and add in your fresh herbs & all the spices. 2. add in your pumpkin puree and whisk in. once combined, add in your shredded cheese in small increment and mix. your mixture should be smooth! 3. add in your cooked pasta to your cheese mixture. 5. serve: add your pasta to a bowl, garnish with Parmesan cheese. add andouille sausage and asparagus to the side. enjoy :) #fallmeals #fallpasta #pumpkinrecipes #macandcheese #macandcheeserecipe

Carli :

As a primary teacher, listening to you both speaking to Margo and including her in everything is so amazing. Sadly that is not the norm anymore and as a teacher I can absolutely tell when children are spoken to at home and when they are sat in front of a screen or ignored! Thank you🫶🏼
