    Pasta slathered in cheese and loaded with zesty chorizo sausages… now we’re talking.

    This Spicy Sausage & Chipolte Mac and Cheese comes together in a skillet, and then fills your stomach to contentment.

    It’s winter and where some people are prepping for resolutions and goals, I am prepping some sweaters. Some big fat baggy sweaters. You know why? Because pasta is delicious. Pasta slathered in cheese, even better. Pasta slathered in cheese and loaded with zesty chorizo sausages… now we’re talking. Yeah, so get your bikini body. Forfeit a season of indulgent comfort food. I get it, skinny feels damned good. But you know what, fat and happy is pretty damned rewarding too. So pass me that Spicy Sausage & Chipolte Mac and Cheese.

    Bust out the sweat pants if you’re coming along with me. It’s going to get cozy up in here.
