Frugal Fridays- Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese
It was Lindsay’s birthday this week, so we went to Shyndigz to celebrate. It’s kind of funny because it’s an amazing dessert place that I’d never been to before until a couple of weeks ago, and now I’ve been twice. No complaints here, because it’s absolutely delicious.
Anyways, as I was looking through old recipes, I came across this broccoli macaroni and cheese recipe that I had made for Lindsay and Alex awhile ago, for one of our family Jeopardy nights. (We all love Jeopardy.) And now that it’s officially fall, it’s the perfect time to break out the comfort food recipes! Don’t worry, this one is healthier than your average macaroni & cheese, so you’ll still have room for dessert!
Since it’s Friday, this is also a budget-friendly recipe! All of these “Frugal Friday” recipes serve at least 2 people and cost you less than $10. This one could serve a whole family, but it’s still under $10!
Here’s what you’ll need to put on your grocery list:
- Whole wheat macaroni- $2
- Broccoli- $1.5
- Skim milk- $1
- Sharp cheddar cheese- $2
- Smoked Gouda- $2
- Breadcrumbs- $.50 (Don’t want to buy a whole container? Just toast a slice of bread and crumble it up!)
- Parmesan (optional, you only need a sprinkle)
