5-Cheese Mac with Crispy Prosciutto Recipe

An indulgent mac and cheese complete with five kinds of cheese and topped with crispy prosciutto, a perfect side dish for special occasions.

I’m throwing it back to where this blog started- with food. Don’t worry, you won’t see many posts about food on here, but I’ve decided that 2018 starts with this blog being more me. That means you’ll get a little bit more about my lifestyle. So, if I try a recipe I think you really need to know about- you’ll see it here. Faith, Down syndrome, Marriage, Parenting- those will always be the bread of this site, but expect to see a few more side dishes from time to time- both literally and figuratively.

This mac-n-cheese epitomizes indulgence and is for special occasions only around here. The gouda gives it a bit of a smokey flavor and the prosciutto really sets this dish off. Need to bring a side dish to your next gathering? This fancy mac will make you a star.

The Gift of the Unexpected

What if the unexpected is the beginning of becoming your truest self?

Jillian Benfield was living life in the spotlight as a TV journalist, but after receiving a life-altering diagnosis for her unborn son, she realized no camera-ready outfit could dress up her grief.
