Today was a yucky, gray, slippery, slushy day. I learned how to tell time in Italian today. Sono sette meno quattro. Its 6:56!

To save myself from the yuckiness outside, I decided I needed some serious comfort food. I decided to attempt to create the best comfort food in the entire world Noodles and Co's Wisconsin Mac & Cheese with Parmesan Crusted Chicken. The picture is the actual thing (thank you google). I've always had an idea of what went into it, and it didn't seem to hard. And mine turned out even better.

In case you want to try it.... I pounded a chicken breast and then cut in in half. I breaded both halves (first dipped in flour, then in egg, then in a bread crumb/parmesan cheese mixture) and put it in a skillet with oil and lemon juice. (Because everything is better with lemon juice!) It cooks in like 3 minutes each side. Thats nice for me! Pasta is whole wheat macaroni in a sauce made from like 1 tbs butter, 1 tbs-ish flour, couple splashes of milk all stirred together and thickened and then salt and peppered. Then topped with lots of cheddar cheese and monterey jack. Then the chicken is popped right on top in true Noodles and Co fashion.

About 10 minutes to make, about $5 cheaper, no long walk to Noodles, plus the satisfaction of making it yourself- I am so brilliant.
