Pinterest Review #1.

This may be the only one. We'll see how adventurous we really are.
Joshua & I found a recipe on Pinterest and decided to try it.
PEPPERJACK BACON MAC N' CHEESE.
we loved it. it was kinda spicy. and we didn't even put the jalapeños in it.
keep some juice close by.
this recipe made tons. we've been eating it for days.
the bacon and peppers were crispy and delicious.
here's our version of the recipe.

INGREDIENTS
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
12 ounces elbow macaroni
8 (or more) slices bacon, cut into pieces first, then cooked until crispy (it crisps up tons better this way)
½ white onion (or less. i like less.)
½ cup red pepper, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons flour
½ cup half & half
¾ cup chicken broth
8 ounces shredded pepperjack cheese
4 ounces fat free cream cheese
salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
1. cook macaroni according to package directions & drain.
2. spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and sauté onions and peppers for 3-4 minutes.
3. add garlic and sauté for another minute or two. don't burn it!
4. add the flour and stir until veggies are coated.
5. add half & half, chicken broth, pepperjack cheese and cream cheese. stir until cheeses are melted.
6. add sauce and bacon to cooked macaroni. stir.

one day i'll be better at taking pictures of food.
but, until then...
