For our Dinner and a Movie this month we’ll share with you a Family Film that’s sure to stir your feelings, and pair it with a dish that’ll make you feel all warm inside.
Listen here
INSIDE OUT!
What is this movie about!
Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) is a happy, hockey-loving 11-year-old Midwestern girl, but her world turns upside-down when she and her parents move to San Francisco. Riley's emotions -- led by Joy (Amy Poehler) -- try to guide her through this difficult, life-changing event. However, the stress of the move brings Sadness (Phyllis Smith) to the forefront. When Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley's mind, the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear and Disgust.

Dinner
MAC N CHEESE!
Comfort food is the best pairing for the Movie INSIDE OUT.
Keythe's recipe choices!
Fancy versions: Gruyere Cheese and sharp cheddar make this one my favorite!
Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac n Cheese: Parmesan and Cheddar with ranch dressing powder and chicken and bacon.
Smoky Chipotle Bacon: Smoked Gouda and Chipotle peppers with adobo sauce. Panko crumbs on top. https://www.thechunkychef.com/smoky-chipotle-bacon-mac-and-cheese/
If you want to go next-level, a Baked Ziti or Penne adds sausage and tomato sauce to pasta and mozzarella, ricotta and parm. It’s like a Pizza Caserole. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/baked_ziti/
