Ok let’s just get this out of the way right now – Mac & Cheese WITH Coconut Milk? Yes! I know your skeptical. It doesn’t really sound like it would work. But it does. Wonderfully. It’s rich and creamy and delicious. It doesn’t have a coconut taste at all but rather a mild nutty flavour that works perfectly.
My little one starts school this week – which I am still trying to wrap my head around, and I’m trying to work on some meal ideas that I know will be a hit and I can work into our busy schedule. This mostly classic mac and cheese recipe fits the bill. You can have it ready to go in the fridge and just slide it into the oven for dinner. It’s also great for leftovers or to send in school lunches if your child has access to a microwave (although to be honest I can and have eaten this cold).
- 8 ounces of macaroni or other small pasta (if you don't have a scale that worked out to about 3 cups of small shells for me - dry)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 can of Blue Dragon Coconut Milk Light
- 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
- 2 cups of bread crumbs
- ½ cup of grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

- Kraft mac and cheese is a kitchen staple for many Americans. Although the recipe is simple, you may find that you want to make this classic dinner favorite without using dairy. Luckily, it is possible and there are ways on how to make Kraft mac and cheese without milk or butter.
- MAC Coconut Fix+ Spray ($23.00 for 3.40 fl. Oz.) worked best for minimizing the look of powderiness on the skin after makeup has been applied or for adding a little slip and hydration to the skin prior to applying base makeup. The mist was very fine and even, which helped to ensure that it dispersed well across my face without saturating any area too heavily.
