Pass the Pasta

Looks like I might be running the Chi Town Half Marathon on Sunday in the snow and wind. Why oh why, Chicago?

But I can’t stay home. I spent a significant portion of my reporter paycheck on this race — $65.

Plus, I’ve been diligently carbo-loading. (My favorite part of race week.)

For example:

This is homemade mac-and-cheese I made for dinner tonight. I think I went a little overboard on the portion size.

I found the recipe on Let’s Dish, and it’s so easy and so delicious. The bread crumbs took it to a whole new level. Anyone who likes cheese and pasta and not always eating the healthiest foods must try this.

Here’s hoping it fuels me to that finish line…
