Reasonably Healthy Comfort Food

Today, I felt like throwing feminine hygiene products at every guy who looked at me funny on the metro. I'm not going to frost dog sh*t and call it cake by saying this is a rare occurrence these days. Much more rare than me being in a surly mood is me indulging in good, new-fashioned, comfort food. Back when I ate the SAD, my favorite sad food was mac n' cheese. Homemade, fresh baked, or out of a blue box. I loved that stuff. Maybe it's because my grandma used to make it for me every time I visited because she knew how much I loved it. Today, I made up a gluten free, goat cheese based version that I love with four ingredients. It's about as clean as mac n' cheese can get. (And along side my mac n' cheese is a creamy, vegan chocolate peanut butter cake from Sticky Fingers --clearly this was a bad day).

Three Ingredient Mac n' Cheese

1 cup dry quinoa/corn macaroni
3 oz raw goat cheddar, grated
1 Tblsp of butter
Touch of Nutmeg

Cook the macaroni. Drain it. Melt the butter in the pan. Put the macaroni back in. Stir in the cheese. Gobble immediately.
