Hi! Fellow med student at the Cleveland Clinic, LOVE your blog for the fact that I can make just about any of the recipes and not freak out over not being able to see the nutritional info, because I know if you say it's healthy, you haven't sneaked in a load of super-sneaky-bad-for-youness while we weren't looking. I'm new to this whole art of cooking so I have a pretty basic question for you. Our poor-med-student budget doesn't yet allow for a food processor but I have a blender, smoothie maker, and immersion blender. Would a plain old blender work instead of a food processor, or is there something else I can do in it's place?
Thanks in advance!!

I only saw stunning photos of glorious pasta until you mentioned Chia Pets! It must be the season for mac 'n cheese ... fineCooking Magazine and Chatelaine had me drooling enough to buy both at the grocery store. Thanks for sharing your version with Presto Pasta Nights. It looks amazing!

I love this!!! Anything that makes Mac & Cheese even a little bit healthier may be my new favorite. I love how the veggies created such a beautiful crust over that dish. Great post!

oooh, gruyere! nice touch, joanne! i never would've correctly guessed what your topping was, but it can hardly be called a bad hairpiece. :)

In pic #3, it looks like it's covered in marijuana buds. Umm, from what I have seen in pictures....no personal experience of course.

How did you know I was wearing a hot pink coat?

Didn't you know they came out with a butternut squash flavored Velveeta? OK, just kidding:)

What a great idea to add squash to achieve the color and creaminess without all the calories and additives typically found in nasty mac and cheese. This looks delicious and I like how you sneak in all the healthy bits. Brill girl!

Despite it's looks, this mac looks like a definite must make (and must eat, of course).

You seriously made me laugh out loud. I would have never thought of it looking like a chia pet!! Regardless, you can load my plate up - it sounds fab!
