    Mmm agua frescas are the best. I grew up 40 min away from the border ... going over in the weekends was so much fun! Fruit cups, aguas frescas, cheap food and candy! The best.
    I love making my own homemade "hamburger helper", so flavorful and less preservatives

    I haven't had hamburger helper or any kind of cheeseburger mac in like 15 years. I remember it fondly though. Since cheese can be pretty pricey, one thing I learned from a coworker when making homemade mac and cheese, is to use soup! If you can find cheddar cheese soup or cream of cheddar soup, that's a cheap alternative that will thicken things up while adding the cheese flavour. I've also used cream of mushroom soup, that also works. So you can use a lot less cheese and save some money! I'd definitely be down to make some hamburger mac sometime soon!

    I just finished making the cheeseburger Mac. It was incredibly easy, came together in less than a half hour, and turned out super tasty. I will say that I needed to stir the pasta pretty much constantly as it cooked or else it would've stuck to the pan. I was using a ceramic lined dutch oven and all the starch from the pasta really made it want to stick. With constant stirring though, nothing stuck. All in all, an excellent, quick, yummy recipe. Two thumbs up!

    I love your recipes, but I always switch to fresh ingredients. For example, I buy several blocks of cheese. I grate it, portion it, and freeze it. It melts better, tastes better, and doesn't have the fillers and preservatives that come in pre-shredded cheese. Also cheaper to buy block cheese. Either way, I get many good ways from your recipes to make it my own. I love your food ideas!

    Little tip to make the dish even better and reduce cooking steps is to poor in the water or broth and cook the noodles in the broth and their natural starches in the noodles will help
    Thicken and emulsify the mixture making a more homogenous mixture
