Macaroni and cheese is one of my all time favorite foods. I haven’t made it yet since the weather has cooled down, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been dreaming of it! So today when browsing through Pinterest, I found a mac and cheese recipe with butternut squash and bacon – oh my god, I had to share!

Most of the time when I make mac and cheese, that’s our main dish. But this recipe looks a little bit heavier than most, so I think it would be a great side dish with a light chicken or fish recipe – or even this Autumn Chopped Salad I also found while food searching.

All I know is that butternut squash plus bacon plus bread plus macaroni and cheese sounds like heavenly comfort food. I’ll probably have a fat attack after, but sometimes those are good for you, right?!

Do you have any Fall comfort food recipes you’ve recently discovered??

As far as cheese goes, it seems like most people are either die-hard cheese fans or die-hard cheese haters. Personally, I’m a die-hard cheese lover. It used to be only about certain cheeses, and while I have my top favorites, I’m not as big of a discriminator as I used to be.

One of my absolute favorite cheese is brie cheese. Warm, cold, with fruit, veggies, meat, crackers – I’ll take it whichever way I can get it. And while that’s usually by throwing a small piece in the toaster for a few minutes and topping it with roasted garlic or some sort of jam, I thought I’d broaden my horizons and try some different approaches. Which leads us to today’s recipes to keep on your radar – anything and everything brie!

1 – Brie Cheese and Strawberry Puff Pastry “Ravioli”
2 – Brie and Grape Tart
3 - Pears and Camembert [or Brie, of course!]
4 – Ham, Brie and Apple Paninis
5 – Bite-Sized Baked Brie 

And there you have it. What’s your favorite cheese?
