Method

Mac & Cheese Bites

Boil elbows in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

In a saucepan, melt butter then whisk in flour to form a roux; gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened.

Stir in shredded cheddar and cream cheese; season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.

Fold the cheese sauce into the cooked macaroni; let the mixture cool until easy to handle.

Stir in eggs and breadcrumbs to the macaroni-cheese mixture to bind.

Form the mixture into bite-sized balls; place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Lightly spray or brush bites with oil and roll in extra breadcrumbs if desired.

Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Remove from oven and let rest 2-3 minutes.

Mango-Avocado Pico de Gallo with Chips

In a bowl, gently combine mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

Stir in lime juice and salt; adjust to taste. Let the salsa rest for 5-10 minutes to mingle flavors.

Transfer to a serving bowl; arrange chips on a platter and spoon pico on the side or on top of bites as desired.
