Oh my gosh, would it snow already please? I know that sounds insane, but with how cold it has been out I just want to see some pretty white flakes all over the ground instead of brown dirt!
But regardless of what the ground is like outside, comforting home cooking is the name of the game in the kitchen! Today I’m sharing my take on a recipe that classically defines comfort food: macaroni and cheese. My recipe for crawfish mac and cheese kicks it up a notch with tasty Southern flavors and beautifully mouthwatering crawfish!

For this recipe, I made a traditional roux to start. I then used a handful of delicious spices to give it a Southern flavor twist, including cayenne, paprika, dried oregano and dried thyme. I love using spices because they are an easy way to pack a big flavor punch without extra calories. Score! After adding dairy and chicken stock and thickening up the sauce base, next comes the cheese! Here I wanted to pack a second flavor punch, and chose creamy gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese.

Into the oven with a breadcrumb and Parmesan cheese topping for just under a half an hour and you’ve got a super tasty twist on a classic comfort food recipe!
