Zee’s Mac N’ Cheese 🧀 Ingredients * 1 (16 oz) box jumbo elbow noodles * Chicken bouillon, to taste * Paprika, to taste * Parsley, to taste * Black pepper, to taste * Onion powder, to taste * Garlic powder, to taste * 1 (8 oz) block Monterey Jack cheese, chopped or shredded * About 3 lbs Colby Jack cheese, shredded * 2 tbsp butter * 2 tbsp flour * 1 (8 oz) can evaporated milk * 2 cups heavy whipping cream Baking Temperature: 375°F Baking Time: 25–30 minutes, then broil for 1–2 minutes. Instructions 1. Start by adding water and salt to a pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add your noodles and cook for about 6–7 minutes. You don’t want to fully cook them because they will continue cooking in the oven. Drain and set aside. 2. Mix your seasonings together and set aside. 3. Heat a saucepan or pot over medium-low heat and add your butter. Allow it to melt. 4. Add half of your seasoning mixture. Stir and let simmer for 1–2 minutes. Make sure to keep stirring so it doesn’t burn. 5. Add your flour and stir it into the butter. Let simmer over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Stir constantly. 6. Slowly add your evaporated milk and heavy whipping cream while continuously stirring. 7. Now, add your half of your cheese. Stir it in and allow it to melt low and slow. DO NOT DO THIS OVER HIGH HEAT! Keep stirring to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn. 8. Stir in the remaining seasonings. Let simmer over low heat for 1–2 minutes, continuing to stir until the cheese is completely melted. 9. Add your noodles to the cheese sauce. Gently fold until the noodles are fully coated. 10. Add half of your noodles to your baking dish. 11. Sprinkle half of your leftover shredded cheese over the noodles. 12. Add the remaining noodles on top, then sprinkle with the rest of your shredded cheese. 13. Garnish with paprika and parsley. 14. Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, then broil for 1–2 minutes to get that crispy, golden-brown top! 15. Dive right into this cheesy, somewhat creamy mac & cheese that will literally change your life! 🧀 #macncheese #bakedmacandcheese #thanksgivingrecipes #zeetheintrovert

Easy Funfetti Cupcakes ❤️💙💚🧡💛 Cake * 1 box white cake mix * 1 (3 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix * 1/3 cup sour cream, at room temperature * 4 large eggs, at room temperature * 1 cup milk, at room temperature * 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract * 1/2 cup vegetable oil * Rainbow sprinkles, for the batter and topping Buttercream Frosting * 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened * 4–4 1/2 cups powdered sugar * 3–4 tbsp heavy whipping cream * 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract * A pinch of salt Baking Temperature: 350°F Baking Time: 16–20 minutes Yield: A little over 18 cupcakes Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your cupcake pans with cupcake liners. 2. Add the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and sour cream to a bowl. Mix until the batter comes together. 3. Fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter. Measure with your heart! ❤️ 4. Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners. I like my cupcakes kinda big, so I use about 2–3 tablespoons of batter per liner. 5. Bake at 350°F for 16–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pan and allow them to cool completely. 7. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter for 3–5 minutes, then gradually add the powdered sugar. 8. While mixing, add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract. 9. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. If using salted butter, skip this step. 10. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe the frosting on top and finish with more rainbow sprinkles. 11. Enjoy! 💛🧡❤️💚💙 #funfetticupcakes #zeetheintrovert
