Mac & Cheese

A couple weeks ago, I was desperately craving macaroni & cheese. Not the boxed stuff, either. I had a burning desire for a gigantic tray of the homemade starchy fabulousness. I honestly think if someone would've put a heaping plate of the gooey goodness in front of me, I would've housed it in no time. Thankfully, no one put me in that predicament, but the fact remained...I wanted mac & cheese. Bad. So I made it with yellow squash. And bacon.

I used feta and cheddar, but you could totally use brie and gorgonzola...or whatever. |

Cut your squash into thin, 1" slices. You know, like macaroni, but not. |

Melt butter. Sautee squash. Add cheese. Stir. Add bacon. Stir. |

Mmmmm this looks fantastic! I'd never thought of using feta before! I always go for cheddar, mozzarella and buffalo sauce :)
Yum :)
Mmm, I'm totally getting hungry now! And it's only 9:09AM, haha.
