Hi all, it’s Cat from The Rustic Willow! I have a few great loves in my life: my boyfriend and New Jersey included. But when it comes to food, two of my great loves will always be avocados and macaroni and cheese. I know, I know, “mac and cheese? Really?” you say. But I just can’t help myself. Whenever I need a good dose of comfort food, I whip up some creamy, delicious mac and cheese and have every spoonful chock full of cheesy, carby perfection.
This recipe takes simple mac and cheese and multiplies its awesomeness by about 20 with the addition of avocado, cilantro, garlic, lime sauce. With these ingredients combined with Monterey Jack cheese… I don’t even have the words to explain the fireworks that occurred on my taste buds when I tasted this avocado macaroni and cheese.
The best part is that it’s SUPER simple to make, all while tasting like it wasn’t simple to make (if you catch my drift). It’s sure to become a staple in your household. I’ve made it a few times in the past few months because I’m always craving it.
The only downside to this recipe is that it doesn’t save well. Despite the citrus added, avocados really never save well. But this might actually be a bonus because then you just have to finish it all in one sitting 😉
And let me just tell you this one tidbit. My boyfriend is not a huge avocado fan (I know, what’s wrong with him?) and he went back for seconds and then thirds. He said it was absolutely delicious. And he’s right!
