I can count the number of times that I have eaten Macaroni and cheese.

This is not a dish that my mum made growing up, I guess it was to plain of a dish for everyone to enjoy and most macaroni and cheese are made with an egg, so this dish was definitely out of the question.

I was watching The Pioneer Women and she was making Macaroni and cheese for her son Bryce, but it had a twist she added goat cheese.

I have never eaten goat cheese before, whenever I see it in the store, I move away. I always picture the goats udders when I hear goat cheese, my mind just goes there.

However I was brave this time around and decided to add it to the macaroni and let me just tell you one thing, I am always going to be adding goats cheese to my macaroni from now on.

The addition of the goat cheese, just gave the dish a whole new level, the cheese gives it a nice sharp taste and mmmm delicious.
